Powerlifter Samantha Eugenie Scores 122.5-kg (270.1-lb) Raw Bench Press PR In Training
It is remarkable that Samantha Eugenie, who is just 20 years old, is bench pressing more than the majority of her male peers. She is also locking out these massive weights despite weighing around 70 kilograms (154.3 pounds), thus demonstrating how strong she is. Samantha’s impressive bench press lifts have almost reached 2x her bodyweight, as her most recent bench press PR has marked a significant improvement. She set the personal record during a training session which saw her reach new heights with a 122.5-kilogram (270.1-pound) bench press.
As can be seen in her Instagram story, Samantha Eugenie first set a personal record with a 120-kilogram (264.5-pound) bench press. However, the ease at which the weight moved gave Samantha some motivation to attempt an even heavier lift. So, she loaded up 122.5 kilograms (270.1 pounds) on the barbell and grinded it out.
Due to the fact that Samantha Eugenie competes in the raw division of powerlifting, she only used wrist wraps to relieve the pressure on her joints while lifting.

Samantha Eugenie is undoubtedly one of the greatest Junior powerlifters in the world, as she has won numerous titles in the past few years. Most recently, Samantha competed in the 2023 French Junior Nationals and won the 69-kilogram weight class with ease. It is important to note that she set her bench press competition PR of 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds) at this competition, but is now already capable of lifting much more.
During Samantha Eugenie’s five years of competing, she has achieved some amazing things. However, those that stand out are her victories at the 2019 Sub-Junior & 2022 Junior IPF World Championships. She has also won three National titles, making her one of the greatest athletes in France. Overall, she has taken part in 12 sanctioned competitions and won nine of them.

Samantha Eugenie appears to be preparing for the 2023 Junior IPF World Championships, and given the fact that they will be held at the end of August, it is clear that she will improve even more than she is right now. So, it is very impressive to see Samantha set a new 122.5-kilogram (270.1-pound) bench press PR being three months out from her next appearance. Powerlifters usually improve the most as they get closer to a competition, but Samantha is determined to improve significantly, which is why she is already chasing PRs.

Powerlifter Samantha Eugenie Crushes a 200-kg (440.9-lb) Raw Squat PR In Training
At the age of 20, Samantha Eugenie is an international powerlifting sensation due to her tremendous strength. Although her greatest event is the deadlift, Samantha is no stranger to putting up some incredible numbers in other lifts as well. Most notably, her deadlift prowess excellently transfers to the squat and she just reached a new milestone. So, Samantha shared the video of her new 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) squat personal record (PR) on her Instagram page.
Landing a new PR is a humongous achievement, but the fact is that it is the first time that Samantha Eugenie crossed the 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) mark for the first time in her career. Moreover, Samantha completed the squat PR in a raw manner, having only used a lifting belt and knee sleeves.
Samantha Eugenie also revealed that her bodyweight at the time of her new squat PR was 69 kilograms (152.1 pounds). So, her 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) squat came out to 2.9x her bodyweight. In addition, Samantha also competes in the 69-kilogram weight class, which means that this is natural for her.
“I know it’s not perfect, I was so scared but I’m proud of myself because it’s a big step for me”

Samantha Eugenie’s next goal is to train until the 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) squat becomes a weight which she is capable of achieving without too much struggle. She revealed this goal in the caption of her post as well.
“Now I just have to work even harder to make sure that this load is 100% acquired”
It is not clear what competition Samantha Eugenie is preparing for currently, but she has given some hints about it. After taking part in the 2023 FFForce French Nationals, Samantha revealed that she is preparing for a competition in September. So, she has a defined goal and her program is obviously going well, having scored a new Squat PR four months beforehand.
Despite being only 20-years-old, Samantha Eugenie has already accumulated 5 years of experience in powerlifting. During this time, she has taken part in 12 sanctioned competitions and won nine of them. One of which is the 2022 IPF World Junior Classic Powerlifting Championships.
