Jade Jacob Crushes 225-kg (496-lb) Raw Deadlift Two-Rep PR in Prep for 2024 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships

Jade Jacob wasted no time at the start of the new year but instead immediately turned to the gym. As a result, she now managed to set a huge 225-kilogram (496-pound) raw deadlift two-rep personal record. Her new PR came at just the right time since she will be competing in the 2024 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships on February 10th.

Jade Jacom performed her new two-rep PR with a sumo stance and a mixed grip, which is the standard technique she uses when it comes to deadlifts. She has perfected it over the years and even managed to set an IPF Junior Deadlift World Record in the 57-kilogram weight class.

Jade Jacob did not have any aid in regard to the equipment that she was wearing, as she only put on a lifting belt, thus qualifying for a raw deadlift. Furthermore, Jade is a natural powerlifter, meaning that her performance was not enhanced by any drugs either.
