Jen Thompson (67.5KG) Inducted Into USAPL Masters Hall of Fame After a 323-lb Bench Press Drug-Tested World Record

With the 2023 USAPL Raw Nationals being held from September 14-17, at the Memphis Renasant Convention Center in Tennessee, many fans gathered to watch the one and only Jen Thompson perform. Being one of the greatest powerlifters in history, especially in one particular event, the Queen of the Bench Press has once again set the new highest mark. This time, she competed in the 67.5-kilogram weight class, where she bench pressed 146.5 kilograms (223 pounds) for a new Raw Drug-Tested All-Time World Record.

After loading 146.5 kilograms (223 pounds) on the barbell, Jen Thompson put on a pair of wrist wraps and got ready for the challenge that she would face. She wasted no time after taking her position, immediately dropping the bar down to her chest with speed. However, that is where the real battle began, as she started grinding out the press. After a few seconds, Jen managed to lock out the record-breaking lift and begin celebrating.

Jen Thompson also held the old Drug-Tested All-Time World Record in the Raw Bench Press, which used to stand at 146 kilograms (321.9 pounds). She set that record at the 2022 USAPL Carolina Primetime nearly one year ago.

Jen Thompson’s Full Performance

Jen Thompson weighed in at 64.87 kilograms (143 pounds), which is significantly lighter than the allowed 67.5 kilograms (148.8 pounds) for her weight class. She still has a very decent performance, which is mostly due to her incredible bench press session, where she successfully performed all three attempts. However, she was unsuccessful in four out of the six attempts across the squat and deadlift combined.
