There is no greater female deadlifter currently than Lucy Underdown, since the British Strongwoman is revolutionizing the event. She is currently the only Strongwoman to have deadlifted 300 kilograms (661.3 pounds) and thus holds the current World Record. However, Lucy also seems to be the only woman who can break that record, and judging by her recent training session, she might do it very soon. On July 19th, Lucy shared a video on her Instagram displaying a deadlift equal to her World Record, but this time she performed three reps with the humongous 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds).
Lucy Underdown loaded up 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds) on the barbell and wondered just how many reps she could lock out with it. She put on her lifting belt and lifting straps before setting up her conventional stance deadlift. After everything was set, Lucy started pulling the weight and locked out three reps with relative ease, which is mind-blowing considering how no other Strongwoman has deadlifted as much for a single rep at least.
Moreover, Lucy Underdown pointed out that she is currently not peaked, meaning that she will be able to lift even more weight in the future. Regardless, it is clear that Lucy has improved a lot since setting the 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) Deadlift World Record in a guest appearance at the 2021 UK’s Strongest Man competition.
“Reps at the current Strongwoman World Record!!
Crazy! 🤯
300kg/661lbs for 3 reps. And I’m not even peaked yet 😏”

Lucy Underdown will be very active this summer, as she is set to make two appearances in the next two months. Hopefully, we will see her break this deadlift World Record in at least one of them.
Lucy Underdown will first compete at the 2023 European Championships on August 11-13, and then focus on the 2023 Britain’s Strongest Woman competition, which is scheduled for September 30th.
However, Giants Live organization has made an interesting remark on Instagram following Lucy Underdown’s 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) deadlift for three reps. They shared her video and hinted that they might invite her to the World Deadlift Championships. This competition will take place on September 2nd, so it remains to be seen if Lucy will be added to the 15-man roster.
“Should @lucyunders_strongwoman be invited to the World Deadlift Champs?” wrote Giants Live.
Lucy Underdown hasn’t spent much time in Strongwoman sport yet, but she is definitely already one of the greatest athletes ever. She has already won two major competitions in the form of 2022 Arnold’s UK Strongwoman Pro and 2022 England’s Strongest Woman, while also finishing on the podium at some other events.
Just a few weeks ago, Lucy deadlifted 305 kilograms (672.4 pounds) on a Kratos Barbell, which is longer and more flexible than the standard one. So, this lift was also a World Record on that variation of the deadlift.

Not too long ago, many people thought that a 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) deadlift could not be performed by a woman, but then came Lucy Underdown. She did what seemed humanly impossible and is now continuing to raise the bar with her mind-blowing lifts. Her recent three rep deadlift with the current World Record weight might be one of the greatest feats of strength in the history of Strongwoman, but there is certainly more to come from Lucy.
