Fantastic news comes from powerlifter Sonita Muluh, who shared a humongous 301-kilogram (663.6-pound) raw squat on her Instagram page. She performed the lift in training and Unofficially broke the +84KG All-Time World Record and lifted more than any woman has across all weight classes. Moreover, Sonita is now unofficially the first woman to reach the 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) squat milestone by wearing just a lifting belt and knee sleeves.

Despite performing such a heavy squat, Sonita Muluh looked as stable as ever, with a huge 301 kilograms (663.6 pounds) on her back. Although this was uncharted territory for her, Sonita understood how big of a challenge she faced. Managing to maintain the same pace throughout the entire squat, Sonita soon finished her lift and secured an impressive powerlifting achievement. She was also surrounded by four spotters, all of whom gave her applause.

Sonita Muluh holds the official All-Time Squat World Record as well, which she set at the 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships. However, it stands at 285.5 kilograms (629.4 pounds) and Sonita is now capable of lifting significantly more weight. Furthermore, she is a lifter in the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), which is a drug-tested federation, but is capable of squatting more weight than athletes that are taking PEDs.
