In 2022, powerlifter Amanda Lawrence (84KG) captured her third International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Championship in the last four years. The athlete won Best Overall Lifter at the 2022 Powerlifting America (AMP) Classic Open Nationals<\/a>. She even notched a personal record (PR) or two in training, including a raw 249.9-kilogram (551-pound) paused deadlift PR<\/a> in August 2022. In a new competitive season, it looks like Lawrence is ready to hit the ground … lifting. <\/p>\n

During a training<\/a> session on Mar. 2, 2023, Lawrence shared an Instagram video of herself capturing a raw 259-kilogram (573-pound) deadlift<\/a><\/strong>. According to the IPF database<\/a>, the pull is just half a kilogram (1.3 pounds)<\/strong> off of Lawrence’s World Record of 260.5 kilograms (574.3 pounds) from the 2021 IPF World Raw Classic Powerlifting Championships. Lawrence’s deadlift does not come without a struggle, though she held the locked out position for several full seconds.<\/p>\n

This performance could tease a potentially successful attempt at surpassing her record in the near future. Lawrence wore just a lifting belt<\/a> for support. Later in the clip, the competitor is also seen completing a five-rep set with 239.9 kilograms (529 pounds) while wearing a belt and lifting straps. <\/p>\n
