Amanda Lawrence is known to be quite a record breaker, so her expectations for the 2024 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships were extremely high. Luckily, she managed to fulfill her goals, having set two new raw U84KG IPF World Records in the Squat and Total events.
Being the first event of the competition, the squat turned out to be quite successful for Amanda Lawrence. She opened up with a 235-kilogram (518.1-pound) lift, but it was clear that she had a lot more in the tank. So, Amanda decided to make a huge jump for her second attempt and thus loaded 249.5 kilograms (550 pounds) on the barbell. She successfully completed this lift, which meant that she officially set a new U84KG IPF World Record.
Amanda Lawrence did attempt to further improve it by 3.5 kilograms (7.7 pounds) on her final attempt, but it proved to be slightly over her capabilities on the day.

Amanda Lawrence weighed in at 83.5 kilograms (184 pounds) for the 2024 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. So, she was the only representative of her weight class at the competition, proving how much better she is than any of her rivals.
Amanda was performing extremely well throughout the entire competition, but she still ended up with two failed attempts out of nine. Well, while her squat fail did not cost her anything, her other unsuccessful attempt, which happened during the deadlift event, would have secured yet another record for her.
