Lovelace continues to show that she is a deliberate record-setting machine.
It’s not even two months into 2023, yet here Rhiannon Lovelace continues to push the boundaries of what we think is possible from a strong woman. Having already set the U64 axle press world record of 101 kilograms (222.6 pounds) at the 2023 Kaos New Year Push/Pull 2023 competition in January, Lovelace is back to her old tricks. That is, use his sheer strength to lift incredible weights and rewrite the record books.
On February 18, 2023, during the 2023 Log Lift for Life Invitational in Tamworth, UK, Lovelace completed a 146.8-kilogram (323.6-pound) Atlas Stone Lift. According to the caption of his Instagram post of the achievement, this is one All-time world record in the U64 (64-kilogram) weight class. Lovelace wore a lifting belt, forearm-protecting sleeves and knee sleeves for support during the record lift.
Lovelace kept her reflection on her new achievement short and sweet. This probably means that there is more to come given the athlete’s intense training and commitment.
“The warm-ups flew by, I knew we were off to a great day!” Lovelace wrote. “Only 49 days to 2023, and we’re already two world records away, my best lift is yet to come! Buckle up. Because this year is going to be big.
To top off a productive weekend, Lovelace moves on to the 2023 OLO Pro Invitational, where during a triumphant all-round performance, he set 55 kilograms (121.3 pounds) strict barbell curl heavyweight world record.
Not to be outdone, Lovelace gave a shout out to the charity money raised from the overall short event, which apparently topped the equivalent of $1,000 dollars and went directly to men’s mental health awareness. He credits 100% to CA Promotions, which was originally founded by trainer Stig Parker. As per the organization’s website masthead, it is committed to safety, inclusion and equal promotion of strongmen and powerful women.
“A big shout out to the hard work [100% C.A. Promotions] For raising around £1000 [$1204.28] For Men’s Mental Health Charity!” Lovelace wrote. “And for him [Parker] Such a great day’s effort, making sure we have everything we need and the safety of all athletes is absolutely paramount!
It’s unclear what lies ahead for Lovelace on the competitive front. For an athlete who is willing to face all challenges and those who come his way, anything is possible. The only clear ideal is that her amazing achievements should perhaps stop the mighty man from surprising the world.
