Powerlifter Amanda Lawrence Dominates Arnold Classic With 500+ Pound Squat

Amanda Lawrence is a powerhouse, to say the least, and she has impressed many people with her monstrous lifts but her biggest competition and win came recently at the SBD Grand Prix where she totaled 596kg/1314lbs at a body weight of 83.6kg.

“I ended up with a 596kg/1314lbs total @ 83.6kg calculating to 909 IPF points. I hit my opener squat at 240kg/529lbs (AR), third bench at 110kg/242.5lbs, and second deadlift at 246kg/542lbs (AR)”.

Meet recap! Boy what a fun day! Thank you @usapowerlifting for putting on such a great event as always. I ended up taking Gold at the SBD Grand Prix—the biggest meet I’ve done to date! Thank you to everyone who came out to support me. Seriously—it meant the world to me! I didn’t put up the total that I hoped for today, but a win is a win I guess! I ended up with a 596kg/1314lbs total @ 83.6kg calculating to 909 IPF points. I hit my opener squat at 240kg/529lbs (AR), third bench at 110kg/242.5lbs, and second deadlift at 246kg/542lbs (AR). I will say my weight cut made me feel super weak for squats, so I was bit disappointed on that, but there’s always next time! Also, I did end up hitting my third deadlift at 252.5kg/556.5lbs (3x BW pull), but got called on my shoulders not locking out. There’s definitely more room in the tank for deads tomorrow at the Deadlift Pro! Excited to see how it goes! Special thanks to my coach @colewarren_shp and family @calvinator_mn @ms.kelley.lawrence @monte.lawrence for coming out to support me today! Love you all. Y’all are the best!! & another special thanks to my sponsors @sbd.usa @rpstrength @bpnsupps for supporting me through these meets!
