Jordan Mica is a 10-year-old powerlifter who has taken the powerlifting community by storm with his exceptional strength and potential. He has emerged as one of the greatest prospects in the sport, setting new records and winning several competitions. In a recent powerlifting competition, Jordan set three new USAPL State Records at the 2023 USAPL Third Street Barbell Open, which took place on February 4-5, in Sacramento, California. One of those was his impressive raw squat personal record (PR) of 77.5 kilograms (170.9 pounds), which represents over 1.5 times his bodyweight.
Jordan Mica competed in the raw division, which meant that he was only allowed to use a lifting belt, knee sleeves, and wrist wraps. Despite the restrictions, Jordan managed to set Youth 2 (10-12 Years Old) USAPL California State Records in the squat, deadlift, and total events. In addition, Jordan equaled the bench press record. Seeing that the State Record for the bench press was already in Jordan’s possession from before, he now holds all four records in his division.
