In terms of competitive accomplishments, Kristy Hawkins<\/a> has nothing to prove. For one, per her personal page on Open Powerlifting<\/a><\/em>, the dynamic powerlifter hasn’t lost a sanctioned competition since mid-April 2017. For the other, Hawkins’ name is all over the all-time World Record books, owning every raw mark in the 75-kilogram division. That’s save for Hawkins’ 154.9-kilogram (341.7-pound) bench press<\/a> \u2014 which remains the second-heaviest raw bench press in her competitive category. As a result, these days, outsiders might think anything Hawkins achieves is icing on the cake. Based on a recent feat, that doesn’t appear to be the athlete’s approach. <\/p>\n

On June 24, 2023, Hawkins shared an Instagram clip of herself scoring a 275-kilogram (606.2-pound) deadlift<\/a> with wraps<\/strong> from low blocks. According to the athlete’s caption, it is the first time Hawkins has ever deadlifted at least 600 pounds while utilizing a wider sumo stance<\/a><\/strong>. Based on a run-through of Hawkins’ profile, this rep appears to be the first public instance Hawkins has teased her sumo power. That would add up to Hawkins’ competitive history, given that the competitor has usually lifted with a conventional set-up. In addition to her sumo positioning and lifting straps, Hawkins wore a lifting belt<\/a> to help with the training achievement. <\/p>\n
