Some strength<\/a> athletes are seemingly just born to lift incredible amounts of weight. In the sport of powerlifting, superstar Kristy Hawkins might be one of them. This multifaceted competitor, who also owns a Ph.D. in chemical engineering and has competed on bodybuilding’s Ms. Olympia stage, can count on yet another impressive feat in the gym.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 16, 2022, Hawkins shared an Instagram clip of herself squatting<\/a> 265 kilograms (584 pounds) for a two-rep personal record (PR) during a training<\/a> session. She wasn’t done. As Hawkins wrote in the caption of her post, she “felt like it was a good time” to go for broke and try and break the 272.5-kilogram (600-pound) squat barrier. The athlete hit said milestone with ease for another PR. Hawkins wore a lifting belt<\/a> and knee sleeves for both of the massive squats. <\/p>\n
