Powerlifter Kristy Hawkins (75KG) Lands New Squat & Total All-Time World Records At 2022 WRPF PPC Finals

On December 04, 2022, Kristy Hawkins achieved a historic feat at the World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) PPC Finals. She broke both the squat and total All-Time World Records with the new marks now standing at a staggering 265 kilograms (584.2 pounds) and 687.5 kilograms (1,515.7 pounds), respectively. Both records were raw, while Hawkins set them in the 75-kilogram weight class. As a result of setting two new World Records, Kristy won the overall women’s division quite easily.

The previous All-Time Squat World Record was held by Kristy Hawkins, since she squatted 262.5 kilograms (578.7 pounds) at the 2021 WRPF The Bucked Up Showdown. She now moved the mark by an additional 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds), but she hoped to do more. Kristy loaded 272.5 kilograms (600.8 pounds) for her final attempt, but was not successful in completing the lift.

“I honestly wanted to go home after missing the 600 pound squat, but I finished with a small total and squat world record.”

Apart from the squat, Kristy Hawkins also made a 2.5-kilogram (5.5-pound) advancement in the U75KG All-Time Total World Record. She held the previous record in this event as well, having totaled 685 kilograms (1,510.2 pounds) at the 2021 WRPF The Bucked Up Showdown.

Her impressive performance earned her not only the world records, but also a significant amount of prize money. She achieved her goals, made history in the process, and took home over $15,000 in prizes.
