Prescillia Bavoil (69KG) Sets Raw Squat & Total World Records at 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships
Prescillia Bavoil experienced massive disappointment in 2022 when she was not allowed to compete at the IPF Worlds due to exceeding the limit for her weight class. However, she utilized the nagging feeling to prepare for the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships, which are taking place on June 11-18, in Valletta, Malta. So, having had an entire year to prepare, Prescillia came into the competition as ready as she could be. Consequently, she emerged victorious in the 69-kilogram weight class while also setting a new raw Squat and Total IPF World Records.
Wearing nothing but a lifting belt and knee sleeves, Prescillia Bavoil made easy work of 211.5 kilograms (466.3 pounds) to set a new Squat IPF World Record. She broke the previous record by 0.5 kilograms (1.1 pounds). Interestingly Bavoil also held the old record, having set it at the 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships.
Presicillia Bavoil seemed very comfortable while performing the 211.5-kilogram (466.3-pound) squat. She did not get stuck at any point of the lift, even starting to smile before locking out the massive weight.

Prescillia Bavoil’s Full Performance
Prescillia Bavoil did not want to take any chances with her bodyweight, so she weighed in significantly below the U69KG limit at just 65.25 kilograms (143.9 pounds). She almost had a perfect performance, going eight for nine on the attempts, missing only her final deadlift. However, if Bavoil managed to complete her final deadlift, she would have broken the World Record in that event as well.

Weightlifter Angie Palacios Dájomes (71KG) Lands a 121-kg (266.9-lb) Snatch World Record
The weightlifting scene is on fire currently as only one year is left until the 2024 Olympics. So, everyone is working hard to secure their spot in the most prestigious competition in the World. However, in order to get an invite, an athlete must be amongst the greatest on the globe, and Angie Palacios Dájomes just proved why she deserves to appear in Paris. Not only is she currently among the best weightlifters in the 71-kilogram weight class, but she also set a new 121-kilogram (266.9-pound) Snatch World Record.
Angie Palacios Dájomes took part in the 2023 IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) Grand Prix on June 14, in Havana, Cuba. She competed in the 71-kilogram weight class, emerging victorious overall and with a Snatch World Record.
Liao Guifang of China previously held the U71KG Snatch World Record. She set the record of 120 kilograms (264.6 pounds) at the 2023 Asian Weightlifting Championships on May 9th of this year. So, the record stood for just over one month.

Angie Palacios Dájomes usually competed in the 64-kilogram weight class, but she transitioned to the 71-kilogram weight class just last at the 2022 Pan American Weightlifting Championships. It obviously did not take long for her to get accustomed, as she has already set a new Snatch World Record.
Angie Palacios Dájomes also set new competition PRs in all three events – Snatch, Clean & Jerk, and Total. So, the 2023 IWF Grand Prix is her greatest appearance yet.
Angie Palacios Dájomes’ Full Performance
Snatch: 121 kilograms (266.9 pounds) — U71KG World Record & Competition PR
Clean & Jerk: 140 kilograms (308.6 pounds) — Competition PR
Total: 261 kilograms (575.4 pounds) — Competition PR
Angie Palacios Dájomes won the 2023 IWF Grand Prix quite easily, as her closest rivals Totaled almost 20 kilograms (44 pounds) less than her. Thus, Angie brought a gold medal back to Ecuador.
2023 IWF Grand Prix U71KG Podium
Angie Palacios Dájomes — 261 kilograms (575.4 pounds)
Siuzanna Valodzka — 242 kilograms (533.5 pounds)
Olivia L. Reeves — 241 kilograms (531.3 pounds)
The 2023 IWF Grand Prix is Angie Palacios Dájomes’ second major victory in the 71-kilogram weight class. She already tasted success in 2022 at the Pan American Weightlifting Championships in Bogota, Colombia. However, it is important to note that Angie added 14 kilograms (30.9 pounds) to her Total since her win in 2022, displaying an incredible improvement in less than one year.

Although the 71-kilogram weight class is a relatively new addition to women’s weightlifting, it is becoming one of the most interesting divisions due to the likes of Angie Palacios Dájomes and Liao Guifang. It will also be insanely competitive at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, especially since Angie will now be fueled to keep improving.

Panagiotis Tarinidis (66KG) & Evie Corrigan (52KG) Crowned as Champions at 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships
The 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships is well underway, with approximately half of the competition already completed. As the days pass, we approach the thrilling conclusion of this prestigious event. However, looking back at the previous days, it is clear that the action is not lacking. Multiple World Records have fallen and new Champions have been crowned. Out of those, Panagiotis Tarinidis and Evie Corrigan seem to be one of the most impressive so far. Both athletes faced fierce rivals, but managed to prevail and win by a significant margin.
Both Panagiotis Tarinidis and Evie Corrigan put in a lot of work over the past year to win the 2023 IPF Worlds. Neither of them was able to finish in the top three of their weight class last year. So, it is impressive to see how much they have improved since the 2022 IPF World Championships.
Panagiotis Tarinidis’ Performance
Leading up to the competition, Panagiotis Tarinidis was giving his all in training. This resulted in some Unofficial IPF World Records which he hoped to make official in the competition. He, however, was not successful in doing this, but did manage to claim the top spot and walk out as a World Champion in the 66-kilogram weight class.
Although Panagiotis Tarinidis did finish with a Total that was almost 10 kilograms (22 pounds) heavier than the second-place finisher, Brian Le. Brian was close to Panagiotis throughout the entire competition, but the Frenchman did not make any mistakes which could have cost him the title.
Panagiotis Tarinidis also set two new competition PR’s in the bench press and deadlift events. He then revealed how difficult this year’s preparation was for him and that he wanted to dedicate this victory to his father.
Squat: 247.5 kilograms (545.6 pounds)
Bench Press: 172.5 kilograms (380.3 pounds) — Competition PR
Deadlift: 285 kilograms (628.3 pounds) — Competition PR
Total: 705 kilograms (1,554.3 pounds)

Evie Corrigan’s Performance
Evie Corrigan, like Panagiotis, was unable to set World Records, but walked away satisfied with an IPF Title under her name. However, to do so, she had to dethrone the U52KG 2022 IPF Champion, Noemie Allabert. Despite being neck and neck from the beginning, Evie secured the lead in the bench press event and did not relinquish it.
Evie Corrigan was successful in eight out of her nine attempts, only missing the final deadlift of 203 kilograms (447.5 pounds). Unfortunately, this deadlift would have been a new World Record if she had been able to complete it. In addition, it would have made her Total slightly heavier, and she would have set another World Record in that event as well.
Squat: 162.5 kilograms (358.3 pounds)
Bench Press: 100 kilograms (220.5 pounds)
Deadlift: 197.5 kilograms (435.4 pounds)
Total: 460 kilograms (1,014.1 pounds)

This was the second IPF Open World title for Panagiotis Tarinidis, having won the competition back in 2021 as well. On the other hand, Evie Corrigan was a Junior World Champion in 2018, but she has never won the IPF Open World Championships until now. Regardless, they both achieved greatness and will soon have to continue training in order to fend off dozens of athletes who aim to dethrone them next year.

22-YO Carl Johansson (74KG) Sets 328-kg (723.1-lb) Deadlift World Record at 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships
The first major upset at the 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships happened in the men’s 74-kilogram weight class. Coming into the competition, the 3x IPF World Champion Taylor Atwood was the biggest favorite once again. However, the 22-year-old Carl Johansson surprised everyone and dethroned one of the greatest powerlifters in history. In addition, Carl also set a new 328-kilogram (723.1 pounds) raw Deadlift IPF Open World Record.
Carl Johansson broke a deadlift record that stood for six years as Kjell Egil Bakkelund pulled 322 kilograms (709.9 pounds) at the 2017 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships. In addition, seeing how Carl is a Junior powerlifter due to his age, breaking World Records in the Open age class made him very emotional. Numerous other elite powerlifters were also impressed by Carl’s achievement, as Jesus Olivares, Jonathan Cayco, and Russel Orhii were just some of the names that praised the young athlete.

Carl Johansson has now taken part in a total of 13 sanctioned competitions and won 10 of them. The 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships marked his biggest victory so far. However, he tasted success beforehand as well, having won the IPF Junior World and EPF Junior European Championships in 2022.
Every feat of strength has something that makes it unique and special which is the case with Carl Johansson’s victory at the 2023 IPF Worlds. He had the satisfaction of setting a new World Record, but also beating Taylor Atwood which not many athletes have experienced. In addition, seeing how Carl is just 22-years-old, it is clear that he will become a staple in the powerlifting community for many years to come.

Natalie Richards (57KG) Sets 512.5-kg (1,129.9-lb) Raw Total World Record at 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships
Natalie Richards rose onto the elite powerlifting scene near the end of 2022, having put up a Total heavier than 500 kilograms (1,102.3 pounds) for the first time in her career. However, just over half a year has passed since, and Natalie has already improved quite a bit. She displayed her new and improved shape at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships, which are taking place from June 11-18, in Valletta, Malta. Despite making her debut, Natalie accumulated a Total of 512.5 kilograms (1,129.9 pounds), setting a new IPF World Record and winning the 57-kilogram weight class.
The previous U57KG IPF World Record holder was Jade Jacob, as the French representative put up a Total of 503.5 kilograms (1,110 pounds) at the 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. She set this record just a few months ago and was thus the main favorite for the title at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships. However, Natalie Richards outperformed everyone with her impressive performance, including Jade Jacob, who ended up in second place.

Brian Le (66KG) Scores 300.5-kg (662.5-lb) Raw Deadlift World Record at 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships
Although Tiffany Chapon and Heather Connor were the first to break records at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships, Brian Le has now opened up the gates for the men. Competing on the second day of the competition in Valletta, Malta, Brian wowed everyone watching. His debut at the IPF Worlds also got a bit more special when he set a new U66KG Raw Deadlift IPF World Record of 300.5 kilograms (662.5 pounds).
Brian Le deadlifted 300.5 kilograms (662.5 pounds) on his first attempt. He then tried to further advance the record with his remaining two attempts, but both were unsuccessful. However, his first attempt was good enough to become an IPF World Record in the 66-kilogram weight class.
Hassan El Belghiti previously held the U66KG Raw Deadlift IPF World Record, having pulled 297.5 kilograms (655.9 pounds) at the 2018 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships. So, having broken the record, Brian Le is the first man in the 66-kilogram weight class to deadlift over the 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) mark.

The 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championship was Brian Le’s 13th-sanctioned powerlifting appearance. He has won nine competitions to date, including National and State titles. Brian has an impressive resume for someone his age, given that he is only 24 years old. Based on his remarkable progress, it’s highly probable that he will continue to achieve more milestones with each new competition he enters.
Brian Le was already one of the most promising powerlifting prospects in the world, but his second-place finish at the 2023 IPF Worlds proves that he will reach the top spot sooner or later. The only man who managed to outperform him this time was the great Tarinidis Panagiotis. However, Brian still set a new World Record and almost beat Panagiotis as well.

16-YO Morgan Nicholls Scores Huge 525-lb (238.1-kg) Raw Bench Press PR In Training
The young prodigy, Morgan Nicholls, got recognized as one of the strongest teenagers in the world during the past years, and he continues to cement his status at 16-years-old. Morgan is extremely versatile which allows him to train American Football and push the limits in the gym. So, most recently, he scored a brand new personal record (PR) in the bench press event having lifted 525 pounds (238.1 kilograms). Morgan accomplished this astonishing feat during a training session.
The video of Morgan Nicholls’ 525-pound (238.1-kilogram) was shared by his father, the legendary Chad Nicholls. Chad is one of the greatest bodybuilding coaches in history, having worked with Ronnie Coleman, Big Ramy, William Bonac, and other elite athletes as well. He was also largely impressed by his son’s bench press which he performed with just a pair of wrist wraps.
“kid is just a working machine and it is very impressive to see him balance training, and all of his football work together – pushing speed, fast twitch, and power all together to do that you have to be very dedicated. – Very proud of him.” wrote Chad.

Morgan Nicholls suffered an ACL tear near the end of last year and underwent surgery on January 6th. Luckily, his recovery was very successful, so he is now able to chase more PRs in the gym and other types of success in American Football.
Apart from his new 525-pound (238.1-kilogram) bench press PR, Morgan Nicholls has done impressive numbers in other events as well. According to him, his heaviest squat to date is 545 pounds (247.2 kilograms), while his deadlift PR is 635 pounds (288 kilograms).
Despite his impressive abilities in lifting heavy weights, Morgan Nicholls does not seem interested in competing in powerlifting. He has, however, taken part in one competition to test the waters and was very successful. He competed in the 2020 SPF GP Summer Smash, where he was only 13-years-old. Despite the young age, Morgan managed to lock out some surreal numbers.
Squat (wraps): 204.1 kilograms (450 pounds)
Bench Press (Raw): 147.4 kilograms (325 pounds)
Deadlift (Raw): 206.3 kilograms (455 pounds)
Total (Raw W/Wraps): 557.9 kilograms (1,230 pounds)

Powerlifting features a 16-17 Years Old age division and the current All-Time World Record for the bench press stands at 501.5 pounds (227.5 kilograms. So, if Morgan Nicholls did cross over to powerlifting once more, it looks like he would set a new World Record with ease. This just proves how impressive his 525-pound (238.1-kilogram) bench PR actually is. In addition, there is no doubt that Morgan will add a few more pounds to the barbell in the near future.

Heather Connor (47KG) Scores 200-kg (440.9-lb) Raw Deadlift World Record at 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships
Day one of the 2023 IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships proved to be extremely interesting, mostly due to the women’s 47-kilogram weight class. This division gathered some amazing competitors and the battle for the title was set to be fierce. Most notably, Heather Connor and Tiffany Chapon were both aiming to claim their third title. Unfortunately for Heather, she was unable to put out her best display on the squats and bench, which cost her the title. She did, however, set a new 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) IPF Deadlift World Record to make up for it.
At the start of the competition, that is during her squat attempt Heather Connor felt a pop in an unspecified part of her body. This disrupted her flow completely as thoughts of injury rushed through her mind. Consequently, Heather performed significantly worse than what she wanted to.
By the time that the deadlift portion of the competition started to take place, Heather Connor was already out of the title race. However, she gathered herself and reached a huge milestone on the deadlifts. So, she set a new U47KG IPF World Record.
The previous record belonged to Heather Connor as well, but it stood at 185 kilograms (407.9 pounds). Heather set the record at the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships, which was almost exactly one year ago from now.

Heather Connor weighed in at only 46.4 kilograms (102.3 pounds) for the 2023 IPF World Championships. So, her IPF Deadlift World Record was 4.31x heavier than her bodyweight was.
Heather Connor missed her first two squat attempts, but luckily succeeded in her third attempt. If she had missed all three attempts, Heather would have been disqualified. She then moved onto the bench press where she missed only one attempt, finishing with a result of 75. kilograms (165.3 pounds). Her deadlift session was perfect, as she successfully completed all three attempts.
Heather Connor’s Full Performance
Squat: 132.5 kilograms (292.1 pounds)
Bench Press: 75 kilograms (165.3 pounds)
Deadlift: 200 kilograms (440.9 pounds) — U47KG IPF World Record

The 2023 IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships was Heather Connor’s 25th sanctioned powerlifting appearance. She previously won two editions of the IPF Worlds, one in 2017 and another in 2019. Heather hoped to reclaim the title after four years, but luck was once again not on her side.
Heather Connor made impressive progress leading up to the 2023 IPF Worlds, setting personal records in her training. However, her performance in the squats affected her chances against Tiffany Chapon, who proved to be a tough opponent. Despite this setback, Heather’s potential suggests that she could have a strong opportunity to secure the top spot in the 2024 IPF Worlds.

Tiffany Chapon (47KG) Sets 99.5-kg (219.4-lb) Bench Press World Record at 2023 IPF World Championships
The 2023 IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships are taking place from June 11-18, in Valletta, Malta. It did not take long to see the first World Records fall, as Tiffany Chapon put up a record breaking performance on day one. The French representative took part in the 47-kilogram weight class, set a new bench press World Record, and claimed her third consecutive title. So, it was a very successful outing for the 22-year-old Tiffany.
The IPF World Record that Tiffany Chapon set was in the bench press event. She walked confidently onto the stage and locked out 99.5 kilograms (219.4 pounds), thus setting a new record. It was also raw, since the 2023 IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships only featured the raw division.
The previous U47KG IPF Bench Press World Record was also held by Tiffany Chapon and it stood at 96 kilograms (211.6 pounds). She set the record at the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships. So, in just one year Tiffany managed to further improve the record by 3.5 kilograms (7.7 pounds).

Tiffany Chapon put up solid performances in other events as well, but the bench press was the only World Record she managed to set. She opened up her performance with a 157.5-kilogram (347.2-pound) squat, and then impressed everyone with her bench. However, she then added a 167.5-kilogram (369.3 pounds) deadlift to secure the title.
In the end, Tiffany Chapon’s Total came out to 424.5 kilograms (935.9 pounds), which is just 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) shy of her last year’s result.

This was Tiffany Chapon’s 15th sanctioned powerlifting appearance and her 11th victory. Furthermore, she is now a 3x IPF World Champion and a 3x EPF European Champion. Tiffany also holds a number of Open and Junior World Records.
Tiffany Chapon was once again quite dominant, having easily won the title. In addition, she further improved her own World Record, as well as brought the first gold medal for France at the 2023 IPF Worlds. She will now hope to defend her European Title in a few months as well, which looks like the most realistic outcome currently.

Larry Wheels Crushes 405-lb (183.7-kg) Bench Press For 22 Reps
Larry Wheels recently revealed on Instagram that he is looking and feeling better than ever, and is now proving the statement to everyone. Although Larry is preparing for a bodybuilding competition where he plans to take part in the Classic division, he is still attracted to lifting heavy weights. However, in order to find the right balance, Larry recently loaded up 405 pounds (183.7 kilograms) on the barbell and performed a bench press for a mind blowing 22 repetitions.
Larry Wheels partnered up for a workout with one of the strongest bench pressers in the world currently, Josh Baker, who accumulated fame on TikTok due to his incredible feats. So, with some crowd cheering him on as well, Larry managed to push himself to the limits and squeeze out 22 repetitions on a 405-pound (183.7-pound) bench press with just some elbow straps to aid him in the lift.
Interestingly, Larry Wheels has performed a bench press AMRAP with 405 pounds (183.7 pounds) before, and his greatest result was 26 repetitions. However, as almost everyone knows by now, Larry has stopped using steroids and slimmed down significantly. So, his recent 22-rep set is arguably even more impressive.

Ever since he stopped using Steroids and PEDs, Larry Wheels has been attempting to reach the peak of his natural strength, performance, and physique. However, he is forced to take TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) since his body does not produce testosterone on its own anymore.
The current goal which Larry Wheels has in mind is to make his debut in the Classic Physique division. He has opted for Classic because he already has the size needed for it. In addition, both Larry and his coach believe that he will not need to take anything except TRT to be competitive.
Larry Wheels has already achieved an extremely shredded physique, with his most recent update displaying an impressive vacuum pose.
Before setting his sights on the bodybuilding venture, Larry Wheels tested to see how strong he could get with just TRT. So, after a few months of training, Larry organized a mock powerlifting meet in his gym and put up impressive numbers. This included a 330-kilogram (727.5-pound) squat, 230-kilogram (507.1-pound) bench, and a 350-kilogram (771.6-pound) deadlift.
So, with experience in powerlifting and bodybuilding, Larry Wheels has also decided to venture into coaching. Most notably, he took IFBB Pro Joe Mackey under his wing to help him accomplish a 1,000-pound (453.6-kilogram) goal.
