Jen Thompson is one of the all-time greats in the sport of powerlifting. She is a woman of many talents and is widely recognized, mostly for her power in the bench press. Jen displayed her prowess at the 2022 USAPL Arnold A7 Pro Bench Bash. The powerlifting event was featured at the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival, which took place May 5th, in Columbus, Ohio. Jen claimed the win with a 320.7 lbs (145.5 kg) raw bench press, which is a new USAPL World Record in the 67.5 kg weight class.

Jen Thompson’s bodyweight at the time of the lift was 144.1 lbs (65.3 kg), and it translated to a DOTS score of 153.097. In addition, this means that Jen bench pressed 2.2x her bodyweight. The lift was also raw, as she only used a lifting belt and wrist wraps. This is Jen’s 22nd win at the Arnold Sports Festival powerlifting events. Jen states that this is her 77th World Record in the open and masters categories.
