At the age of 20, Samantha Eugenie is an international powerlifting sensation due to her tremendous strength. Although her greatest event is the deadlift, Samantha is no stranger to putting up some incredible numbers in other lifts as well. Most notably, her deadlift prowess excellently transfers to the squat and she just reached a new milestone. So, Samantha shared the video of her new 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) squat personal record (PR) on her Instagram page.
Landing a new PR is a humongous achievement, but the fact is that it is the first time that Samantha Eugenie crossed the 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) mark for the first time in her career. Moreover, Samantha completed the squat PR in a raw manner, having only used a lifting belt and knee sleeves.
Samantha Eugenie also revealed that her bodyweight at the time of her new squat PR was 69 kilograms (152.1 pounds). So, her 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) squat came out to 2.9x her bodyweight. In addition, Samantha also competes in the 69-kilogram weight class, which means that this is natural for her.
“I know it’s not perfect, I was so scared but I’m proud of myself because it’s a big step for me”

Samantha Eugenie’s next goal is to train until the 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) squat becomes a weight which she is capable of achieving without too much struggle. She revealed this goal in the caption of her post as well.
“Now I just have to work even harder to make sure that this load is 100% acquired”
It is not clear what competition Samantha Eugenie is preparing for currently, but she has given some hints about it. After taking part in the 2023 FFForce French Nationals, Samantha revealed that she is preparing for a competition in September. So, she has a defined goal and her program is obviously going well, having scored a new Squat PR four months beforehand.
