On June 2-3, 2023, during the 2023 Powerlifting America (AMP) Masters Raw Nationals, 72-year-old competitor Shelly Stettner<\/a><\/strong> scored two all-time raw competition personal records<\/strong> (PR). The first milestone was a 117.5-kilogram (259-pound) back squat<\/a> on her second attempt. The second was a 327.5-kilogram (722-pound) raw total. Stettner competed in the 63-kilogram weight class as a Masters 4 athlete to successfully defend her AMP title from June 2022, earning her sixth straight first-place result since June 2021<\/strong>. To date, Stettner has lost just once in a career that began in late 2019. <\/p>\n

Stettner wore a lifting belt<\/a>, wrist wraps, and knee sleeves for her squat \u2014\u00a0which counts as raw in a sanctioned powerlifting environment. Meanwhile, she wore just a lifting belt during her deadlifts<\/a>. At the time of this article’s publication, without a clip of her bench press<\/a>, it is unclear what equipment Stettner had adorned for this upper body portion of the competition. <\/p>\n
