Another stacked lift for Buttner.
An immovable force is said to do nothing to a fixed object. A clear believer in this is the “Canadian Forklift” Jessica Buttner who never lifted very heavy objects at the gym.
On March 13, 2023, Buettner shared a captivating Instagram clip 220-kilogram (485-pound) raw back squat. Buttner wore a lifting belt, wrist wraps and knee sleeves to aid in strength gains. According to the caption of the athlete’s post, The lift ties Buttner’s all-time personal record (PR). A powerlifter’s all-time raw competition remains the 218.7-kilogram (481.7-pound) squat from the 2022 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships.
Buttner’s squat training ties in with his ongoing preparation for the 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships on March 25, 2023 in Sheffield, England. After competing in the 84-kilogram division during a record-breaking performance at the 2023 Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) Nationals, Buttner will drop down to her usual 76-kilogram division, where she is the two-time defending IPF world champion. competition
Inspired by his record-setting peers, Buttner suggested he step up his squat training.
One of them is Carlina Tongotia, the 76-kilogram raw squat IPF world record holder (223 kilograms/491.6 pounds). Another is European champion Agata Sitko, who holds the raw bench press world record in the 84-kilogram category (147.5 kilograms/325.1 pounds).
“I saw [Tongotea] Squat 230 kilograms (507 lbs) in training and [Sitko] Buttner wrote that the bench weighs 146 kilograms (321.8 pounds), which is nothing. “It’s not a question If the World records are going to be broken at this point. Sheffield will have something to see!”
Buttner won’t be the only notable powerlifting titan to appear at the 2023 Sheffield Championships. Three-time 84-kilogram IPF world champion Amanda Lawrence plans to make some noise in England.
Based on her training progress, Buttner has the ability to outwit her contemporaries during interrogation. Making that come true may just be a matter of taking advantage of the friendly reverse competition between the superstars.
