Time and time again, Heather Connor shows why she’s regarded as one of the world’s strongest powerlifters. In advance of her next competition across the pond, the elite 47-kilogram lifter recently showed off her tremendous leg<\/a> strength<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On August 29, 2022, Connor shared an Instagram clip of herself completing a 152.5-kilogram (336-pound) raw back squat<\/a> during a training<\/a> session. The feat is a personal record (PR)<\/strong> for Connor, and it also eclipses her all-time competition best by 9.4 kilograms (20.8 pounds)<\/strong>. Connor previously notched her competition best back squat of 143 kilograms (315.2 pounds) at the 2022 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Raw Nationals. <\/p>\n

Connor wore a lifting belt, <\/a>wrist wraps, and knee sleeves while achieving her new squat PR. <\/p>\n
