Prescillia Bavoil Sets Squat World Record - Image credit @SBD Apparel YouTube & @lya_powerlift Instagram
SHARE
Prescillia Bavoil made an appearance at the recent 2025 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships on January 26th. She came in as a 63-kilogram athlete, dropping down one level from her usual weight class. That proved to be a correct move, as Bavoil ended up setting a new 214-kilogram (471.8-pound) raw squat IPF World Record.
Prescillia Bavoil was one of the first competitors to walk out onto the stage at the 2025 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships, and she made sure to set the standard. Opening up her squat session with a 205-kilogram (451.9-pound) lift, Bavoil proved that she came with some huge intentions.
Moving on to the second attempt, Prescillia Bavoil loaded a 214-kilogram (471.8-pound) squat. She put on her lifting belt and knee sleeves before heading out to the platform to go for the record-breaking lift. When it comes to the squat itself, Prescillia Bavoil managed to lock it out after a long grind. With two white lights from the judges, Prescillia officially set a new U63KG IPF World Record.
Prescillia Bavoil hoped to further advance the record on her final attempt, trying to squat 216.5 kilograms (477.3 pounds). Unfortunately, she was unable to complete the lift, showing that her second attempt was actually her maximum on the day.

*Prescillia Bavoil also held the previous U63KG IPF Raw Squat IPF World Record of 213-kg (469.5-lb). She set that record at the 2022 IPF Arnold Sports Festival.
Prescillia Bavoil definitely wanted to perform even better at the 2025 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships, having missed her final attempts on all three events. She still managed to set a new Squat World Record and secure decent numbers on other events. So, despite a few setbacks, Prescillia still has a lot of positives to take away from her performance.
