Daniella Melo has left her mark in powerlifting a long time ago, as she won the IPF World Championships and numerous other major competitions. She won the USAPL Nationals five times before, but the last time she took part in one of them was in 2018. However, that has now changed, as Daniella competed at the 2022 USAPL Mega Nationals, which took place from June 7-12, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Daniella Melo competed in and won the raw 90-kilogram weight class, which is her sixth career USAPL Nationals victory. Daniella also broke the American bench press record with a massive 138-kilogram (304.2-pound) lift. LeAnn Ramirez held the previous record of 137.5 kilograms (303.1 pounds), which she set at the 2021 USAPL TBS Summer Open.

The 2022 USAPL Mega Nationals were Daniella Melo’s 15th sanctioned powerlifting competition. Daniella has an impressive win percentage, as she won 13 of her 15 powerlifting appearances. Those wins include some major competitions.

  • 2017 & 2018 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships — First-place
  • 2018 & 2019 USAPL Arnold SBD Pro American — First-place
  • 6x USAPL Nationals — First-place

Daniella Melo has taken part in two sanctioned powerlifting competitions in the past two months, but has not competed professionally for three years before that. This could mean that one of the greatest powerlifters is back for good. If that is the case, Daniella will probably impress us with amazing feats of strength once again.
