Natalie Richards is becoming quite a powerlifting sensation due to her performances over the recent years. She is a legend in her own right and has once again proved her brilliance at the 2023 Powerlifting America (AMP) Classic Open Nationals, which took place on February 24-26, in Austin, Texas. She won the raw 57-kilogram division and set the heaviest U57KG Powerlifting America (AMP) Total of All-Time, putting up a performance that will be remembered for years to come.

Natalie Richards’ performance from the 2023 Powerlifting America (AMP) Classic Open Nationals will go down in history. Her squat of 175 kilograms (385.8 pounds), bench press of 105 kilograms (231.5 pounds), and deadlift of 221.5 kilograms (488.3 pounds) were simply outstanding. In the end, her Total came out to 501.5 kilograms (1,105.6 pounds).

Natalie Richards’ success at the 2023 Powerlifting America (AMP) secured her a National title and a place at the 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships. So, she is looking forward to representing the United States and competing against the best powerlifters in the world from June 11-18, in Valletta, Malta.
