Underdown continues to show why she is the undisputed superstar.
On July 19, 2023, strongwoman Lucy Underdown shared her Instagram video Deadlifting 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds) for three reps during a recent training session. The feat of strength is notable because that weight is currently the strongest woman’s world record. The Underground itself set that mark in 2021.
For her latest strength aids, the elite strongwoman wore a lifting belt and lifting straps and completed her mind-blowing pulls from a traditional stance with a double-overhand grip.
This is far from the first time Underdown has made waves with one of his deadlift sessions.
Most recently, roughly a week before this three-rep pulling bonanza, Underdown shared the strength-endurance and strength of a 280-kilogram (617.3-pound) four-rep. Couple that with holding both the strongwoman deadlift world record and Kratos’ bar deadlift world record of 305 kilograms (672.4 pounds), and Underdown continues to establish himself as one of the best deadlifters in the world.
Underdown isn’t just a powerful athlete when it comes to pulling massive weights off the ground. That is further evidenced by a personal record (PR) log press of 105 kilograms (231.5 pounds) for three repetitions from July 17, 2023. In every case, Underdown made these lifts look predictably easy. This is a promising sign for their upcoming competitions.
Underdown is gearing up for a litany of powerful women competitions.
The athlete will appear in the upcoming 2023 Europe’s Strongest Woman, 2023 Britain’s Strongest Woman (BSW), and 2023 England’s Strongest Woman competitions. Despite a reputation built on world records, Underdown is looking to build on the only win of her professional career – 2022 England’s Strongest Woman – according to her profile. Strongman Archives. The athlete came close during the 2023 UK’s Strongest Woman (UKSW) but eventually fell short by one point to defending champion Rebecca Roberts.
If Underdown transfers over her deadlifts and displays this kind of power for any of her upcoming strongwoman appearances, another milestone victory is likely in the future. It was undoubtedly a big moment for one of the sport’s biggest stars.
As the Underdown proves itself, all it takes to finally break through with another win is another glorious moment that can jump over its peers. Perhaps, her deadlift or log press will finally help in this ambitious pursuit.
