Heaviest lifts on the site?

I came across this:

where she benches 315x3 followed by 330x1. I got to wondering: is this the video of the heaviest bench press on the site? Can anyone find heavier ones?

What about the heaviest squat and deadlift on the site?

If you want to add hip thrusts, Aline Dessine has done 330 kilos, or 726 pounds, just astounding considering that she is not a big girl. đź‘€

In the deadlift department, Steffi Cohen is up to 302.5 kilos/666 pounds, but I don't anything of her on GWM anymore. I'm guessing she is blacklisted now.

Rae-Ann Coughenour-Miller is supposedly the bench record holder at 280/620, but I don't see anything of her here, either.

I wish I could be more helpful here.

Stefi's still on the site! Find her under "Stefanie Cohen."

Stefanie Cohen and Hunter Henderson. Both strong af.

I have thought about this question a lot and this picture of Stefi was my first thought as some others have said.

But here is Jessica Buettner doing more than that for 2.

I suppose weight class makes a big difference in terms of absolute numbers. The all around record holders might not be instagram people and less well known on this site.

I suppose weight class makes a big difference in terms of absolute numbers.

I wondered if I could do some math here. If you have the most impressive 121 lb (55 kg) woman in the world lifting x lbs and the most impressive 168 lb (76 kg) woman lifting y lbs then what will y divided by x most likely be? The same can be asked about average women of the said weights.

My guess would be that since the weight of the heavier woman is 1.38 times that of the lighter woman, the result would be the square of the cube root of this. In other words, I expect the heavier woman to lift 1.24 times what the lighter woman does. The world records between respective weight classes for snatch and clean&jerk differ by factors of 1.22 and 1.21.

The same way you can expect a woman 1.38 times heavier to be on average 1.114 times taller. That's someone's 5'2" to someone's 5'9".

This site has tables of weight lifted vs bodyweight, I think it says they're compiled from stats submitted by users. Whichever of us has the spare time first can check whether their numbers fit your model :-)

Meanwhile back on topic, I'm going to guess that this 285 kilo deadlift is in the running:

Open PL states that Becca Swanson has the heaviest total for a female with 2050.3 lbs (930 kg). For deadlift, Becca Swanson with 694.4 lbs (315 kg), bench press Rae-Ann Miller with 625 lbs (283.5 kg), and squat Leah Reichman with 925 lbs (419.5 kg). Also Becca Swanson and Leah Reichman are the only women to get a total with at least 2000 lbs so make of that what you will.

This is said to be a 585 lb squat. Not many people in the world can do more than that.

I found several 315 lb. benches but not many more than that. This is a little more, not sure how much.

Ok, so she is hardly up there with the likes of Stefi Cohen, but considering her tiny size, Serena Abweh can pull some amazing weights.

Chakera Holcomb a.k.a. C C Ingram

She benches 163kg x 5 on instagram and 170 in competition according to openpowerlifting…

in deadlift stefanie cohen never did 300 kg, her best was 240 kg in the 56 kg division. in libs i think it is 529 at 123 lbs (she was 120)

highest raw bench is 207 kg by april mathis, the 280 is either single ply or multiply, i do not remember

Not so much the weight itself but the sheer volume, 30x100kg is three tonnes and it's effortlessly done in one go.

Update: Leah Reichman now has the heaviest total with a total of 2055.8 lbs (932.5 kg). She also now has a squat of 953.5 lbs (432.5 kg). Rae-Ann Miller also now has a bench of 650 lbs (294.8 kg).

This Is all multiply thought, not raw

I am much more impressed when such heavy lifts are performed by a muscular and shredded female bodybuilder than a huge chubby powerlifter/weightlifter.

In that case, Tamara Walcott has it with a 1620.4 lbs total (735 kg) along with a 639.3 lbs deadlift (230 kg), April Mathis with a 457.4 lbs bench (207.5 kg), and just recently Sonita Muluh with a squat of 629.4 lbs (285.5 kg)
