About the 52 kg Single-ply Deadlift Record
The 52 kg weight class is one of the standard women's bodyweight categories contested across major powerlifting federations including the IPF, USAPL, USPA, and WRPF. The single-ply deadlift record in this class represents the heaviest verified competition deadlift by an athlete weighing up to 52 kg.
Weight-class records reward relative strength rather than absolute load: a lifter in a lighter class who matches a heavier class's number is, pound for pound, the stronger athlete. Comparing the record across every class - as the table above does - shows exactly where the 52 kg mark sits on that curve.
