Ukraine&#8217;s Anatolii Novopismennyi can count himself amongst that fortunate group. </p>



<p>On his top attempt, the 26-year-old Novopismennyi successfully locked out a <strong>362.5-kilogram (799.1-pound) raw <a data-lasso-id="278255" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">back squat</a></strong>. The mark is officially an <strong>IPF World Record in the 105-kilogram division</strong> and eclipses the previous record, which Novopismennyi had also set with 360 kilograms (793.6 pounds) at the 2021 IPF Worlds. Novopismennyi wore a <a data-lasso-id="278256" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a>, knee sleeves, and wrist wraps during his monstrous squat. By the contest&#8217;s end, Novopismennyi also notched <strong>a total of 940 kilograms (2,072.3 pounds) — another IPF World Record</strong>. The athlete finished in first place in the 105-kilogram division, winning his third raw Open IPF World title (2019, 2021, 2023) in the process. The strength athlete also captured the 2016 IPF World title in the Junior division.</p>

<p>In addition to his World Record raw squat, Novopismennyi built his World Record total with a 225-kilogram (496-pound) raw <a data-lasso-id="278259" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/bench-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bench press</a> and a personal all-time raw competition best <a data-lasso-id="278260" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadlift</a> of 352.5 kilograms (777.1 pounds). In addition to breaking his own squat record, Novopismennyi was also in possession of the previous IPF World Record in the 105-kilogram class with a raw total of 937.5 kilograms (2,066.8 pounds) achieved at the 2021 IPF Worlds. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of the athlete&#8217;s complete performance from Valletta, Malta:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="anatolii-novopismennyi-105kg-2023-ipf-worlds-top-stats">Anatolii Novopismennyi (105KG) | 2023 IPF Worlds Top Stats</h3>



<ul>
<li><strong>Squat</strong> — 362.5 kilograms (799.1 pounds) | <strong><strong>IPF World Record</strong></strong> </li>



<li><strong>Bench Press</strong> — 225 kilograms (496 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Deadlift</strong> — 352.5 kilograms (771.1 pounds) | <strong>All-Time Competition Best</strong></li>



<li><strong>Total</strong> — 940 kilograms (2,072.3 pounds) | <strong>IPF World Record</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>By any stretch of the imagination, Novopismennyi is not an upstart. In the IPF&#8217;s 105-kilogram division, especially, he might be one of the more seasoned and successful powerlifters of the current generation. </p>



<p>In addition to his three staggered IPF World titles in recent years, the athlete has rarely fallen short on a sanctioned lifting platform. According to his personal page on <em><a href="https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/anatoliinovopismennyi" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="278415">Open Powerlifting</a></em>,  in 17 career competitive appearances as an Open and Juniors athlete, <strong>Novopismennyi has lost on just five occasions</strong>. He is a former European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) European champion (2019) and also has four Ukrainian National titles to his name (2014, 2018-2019, 2021). </p>

<p>A first-place performance with two World Records is quite a way for Bavoil to return to the top of the international 69-kilogram weight class. The athlete was the 2021 IPF 69-kilogram World Champion but did not defend her title in 2022 as a result of her missing qualifications for her usual weight class. That distinction, coupled with undisclosed injury issues, apparently slowed some of the progress the 29-year-old had been making in a powerlifting context lately.</p>



<p>In a way, this could be seen as an apt comeback to glory for an athlete with 12 wins in 13 competitions dating back to November 2019, per Bavoil&#8217;s page on <em><a href="https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/prescilliabavoil" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="278360">Open Powerlifting</a></em>. Overall, Bavoil has now come out triumphant in 22 of 25 sanctioned lifting appearances during a career that began in October 2015.</p>



<p>Among her accolades, Bavoil also currently holds the World Record raw squat (213 kilograms/469.5 pounds) and World Record deadlift (231 kilograms/509.2 pounds) in the 63-kilogram weight class. She made both lifts during the 2022 IPF Arnold Sports Festival.</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of Bavoil&#8217;s top stats at the 2023 IPF Worlds:</p>

</ul>



<p>In just her second competitive appearance since that successful Arnold Sports Festival in late September 2022, Bavoil managed to finish eight of nine lift attempts on one of the biggest stages in powerlifting.</p>

<p>In an Instagram post after the conclusion of the 2023 IPF Worlds, Bavoil seemed ecstatic about her latest victory. The athlete characterized her win as &#8220;redemption&#8221; and looked ahead to even more success in the near future. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;After my failure last year [at the 2022 IPF Worlds] and a complicated injury season, I had only one goal in mind: to close this redemption chapter and finally open a new one! Proud to be the first Frenchwoman to win two World titles in two different categories! And now it&#8217;s road to Sheffield 2024 [the 2024 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships]! Time to really build up the 69-kilogram category for this deadline! I can’t wait to get back to work and show what I can do!&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the <a data-lasso-id="276165" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/prescillia-bavoil-total-world-record-1209-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships</a>, Karlina Tongotea scored a <strong>225.5-kilogram (497.1-pound) raw <a data-lasso-id="276166" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">back squat</a></strong>. The mark is an <strong>official IPF World Record in the 76-kilogram division</strong>, where Tongotea eventually came out victorious ahead of notable peers like <a data-lasso-id="276167" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/agata-sitko-bench-press-337-pounds-world-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Agata Sitko</a> and former two-time defending champion (2021-2022) <a data-lasso-id="276168" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/jessica-buettner-squat-485-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jessica Buettner</a>. Tongotea broke her own squat record of 223.5 kilograms (492.7 pounds) from the <a data-lasso-id="276169" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/amanda-lawrence-2023-sheffield-world-records/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships</a> by 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds).</p>



<p>Tongotea wore a <a data-lasso-id="276170" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a> and knee sleeves, and utilized wrist wraps to help herself rewrite the IPF record books with her squat. That equipment qualifies as raw in a sanctioned powerlifting context. The 2023 IPF Worlds took place in Valletta, Malta, from June 11-18, 2023. The 2023 edition of the contest was Tongotea&#8217;s debut at the prestigious competition, and she made the most of this initial appearance by <strong>winning her first IPF World title</strong>. </p>

<p>In a post in the 2023 IPF Worlds&#8217; aftermath, Tongotea seemed emotional about her competitive journey. The athlete, who is a doctor by trade, looked back on her tremendous progress over the last half-decade and took in the fact that she is now on top of one of powerlifting&#8217;s tallest summits. </p>



<p>Of course, she plans to stay there. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;I walked into [New Zealand Powerlifting Academy] in 2018 telling my coach, &#8216;I have one year to enjoy this sport before I start GP training and exams,&#8217; and I got back the message in this post. We&#8217;ve kept this one between ourselves. We remembered it when I won my first nationals, when I first became No. 1 in New Zealand when I won a [World Powerlifting] title, but it never quite felt like we&#8217;d fulfilled it yet. Now, I&#8217;m an IPF Classic Open World Champion of the [76-kilogram division], and I couldn&#8217;t have done it without this partnership. It feels fulfilled. We did the damn thing, Dom [Tongotea&#8217;s coach]. We gotta do it again, though.&#8221;</p>

<p>Muluh wore a <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="275191">lifting belt</a> and knee sleeves and utilized wrist wraps to help her notch the squat milestone. Each of those pieces of equipment is considered raw in an officially sanctioned powerlifting environment. While Muluh&#8217;s staggering number is a World Record in the IPF&#8217;s highest division for Women&#8217;s athletes, it also carries the distinction of being the all-time raw World Record for any Women&#8217;s competitor ever. </p>



<p>The record was previously, and briefly, held by fellow 2023 IPF Worlds competitor Brittany Schlater, who squatted 281 kilograms (619.5 pounds) during her performance at the contest shortly before Muluh&#8217;s attempt. Prior to that, the record belonged to <a data-lasso-id="275192" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/powerlifter-bonica-brown-squats-711-pounds-world-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perennial IPF World Champion Bonica Brown</a>, who squatted 280 kilograms (617.3 pounds) during a fifth-place performance at the <a data-lasso-id="275193" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/amanda-lawrence-2023-sheffield-world-records/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships</a>.</p>



<p>Muluh&#8217;s squat eclipses Brown&#8217;s lift by an astounding <strong>5.5 kilograms (12.1 pounds)</strong>. Notably, Brown actually squatted more than Muluh during her 2023 IPF Worlds appearance, with a lift of 289 kilograms (637.1 pounds) on the athlete&#8217;s final attempt. However, because Brown couldn&#8217;t notch one successful deadlift pull, none of her statistics were officially recorded. </p>



<p>From an overarching perspective, Muluh&#8217;s second-place raw total of 688.5 kilograms (1,517.9 pounds) could&#8217;ve been seen as admirable. That&#8217;s because the eventual plus-84-kilogram class winner Brittany Schlater scored an all-time raw World Record total of 693.5 kilograms (1,528.9 pounds) for her victory. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of the plus-84-kilogram division podium:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="2023-ipf-worlds-84kg-podium">2023 IPF Worlds | +84KG Podium </h3>



<ul>
<li><strong>Brittany Schlater</strong>: 693.5 kilograms (1,528.9 pounds) | <strong>IPF World Record</strong></li>



<li><strong>Sonita Muluh</strong>: 688.5 kilograms (1,517.9 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Jewel Tasi</strong>: 647.5 kilograms (1,427.5 pounds)</li>
</ul>



<p>According to her personal page on <em><a href="https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/sonitamuluh" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="276041">Open Powerlifting</a></em>, this runner-up finish at the 2023 IPF Worlds is the first time Muluh has fallen short of a victory since the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships where she placed sixth. Overall, <strong>Muluh has nine wins in 13 competitive appearances</strong> dating back to February 2020. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the spring on 2023, powerlifter <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/inderraj-singh-dhillon-deadlift-849-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="274716">Inderraj Singh Dhillon</a> put himself within shouting distance of one of strength sports&#8217; more hallowed marks — the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) raw World Record <a data-lasso-id="272039" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadlift</a> in the 120-kilogram division. When the athlete successfully pulled 385.5 kilograms (849.8 pounds) for the British powerlifting record and matched the World Record in the process in late March 2023, it was suddenly a distinct possibility that his name would dot the top of the global record books. That possibility is now a clear-eyed reality. </p>



<p>On June 11-18, 2023, during his debut at the <a data-lasso-id="272040" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/agata-sitko-bench-press-337-pounds-world-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships</a> in Valletta, Malta, Singh Dhillon locked out a <strong>raw 386-kilogram (850.9-pound) deadlift</strong> while competing in his 120-kilogram class. The milestone is <strong>officially an IPF World Record</strong>. The number surpasses Singh Dhillon&#8217;s peer, Bryce Krawczyk, who deadlifted 385.5 kilograms (849.9 pounds) at the 2021 edition of the IPF World Championships. Singh Dhillon wore a <a data-lasso-id="272041" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a> and completed his massive pull from a <a data-lasso-id="272042" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift-vs-sumo-deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conventional stance</a> while utilizing a mixed grip. </p>

<p>Thanks to his record pull, Singh Dhillon would eventually finish with third place in the 120-kilogram division. Singh Dhillon&#8217;s countryman, Tony Cliffe, took home the top title in the category. Nevertheless, for Singh Dhillon to finish on the podium and score a monstrous record in his IPF Worlds debut is no small feat. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of the top stats from Singh Dhillon&#8217;s performance:</p>

<p>In a post on his Instagram, Singh Dhillon reflected on his performance. The athlete seemed taken aback by the gravitas of the moment on an international stage but appeared appreciative of what he just experienced and accomplished. </p>

<p>&#8220;What an incredible experience surrounded by the strongest from around the world,&#8221; Singh Dhillon wrote. &#8220;The speed of the competition was astounding, and we capped it all off with a 120-kilogram World record deadlift at 386 kilograms and the biggest pull of the competition! Thank you, Maharaj!&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On an international level, the year 2022 was a coming out party, of sorts, for Polish powerlifter <a data-lasso-id="271936" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/powerlifter-agata-sitko-sets-5-ipf-records/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Agata Sitko</a>. The athlete placed second in the 76-kilogram division at the 2022 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships, <a data-lasso-id="271937" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/agata-sitko-ipf-bench-press-world-record-147-kilograms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won the Junior division of that contest</a>, and then took home respective wins in the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival and the 2022 European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) European Classic Powerlifting Championships. Sitko is picking up where she left off. </p>



<p>During the <a data-lasso-id="271938" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/amanda-lawrence-wins-2023-ipf-world-championships-world-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships</a>, which took place from June 11-18, 2023, in Valletta, Malta, Sitko scored a 153-kilogram (337.3-pound) raw <a data-lasso-id="271939" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/bench-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bench press</a> on her second attempt. While Sitko would come in second place in the 76-kilogram Open class to rival Karlina Tongotea, the mark is officially <strong>an Open and Junior IPF World Record</strong> in the 76-kilogram division. The press eclipsed Sitko&#8217;s own previous World Record in both divisions when the athlete lifted 146 kilograms (321.8 pounds) at the <a data-lasso-id="271940" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/prescillia-bavoil-total-world-record-1209-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships</a>.</p>

<p>A powerhouse of strength at just 20 years old, the bench press is undoubtedly Sitko&#8217;s calling card. According to the <a href="http://goodlift.info/records.php?fd=0&amp;ac=0&amp;sx=W&amp;eq=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="271970">IPF database</a>, not only does the athlete possess both the Open and Junior IPF World Record bench press in the 76-kilogram category, that is also the simultaneous case for the 84-kilogram division where Sitko has complete upper-body dominion. </p>



<p>In addition to her bench press milestone, Sitko recorded a 240-kilogram (529.1-pound) raw <a data-lasso-id="271944" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadlift</a> for <strong>an IPF Junior World Record</strong> in the 76-kilogram class. The powerlifter&#8217;s final raw total of 590.5 kilograms (1,301.8 pounds) was also an <strong>IPF Junior World Record</strong>. The athlete&#8217;s top <a data-lasso-id="271945" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">squat</a> was 197.5 kilograms (435.4 pounds). Here&#8217;s an overview of Sitko&#8217;s best stats from the 2023 IPF Worlds:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="agata-sitko-76kg-2023-ipf-worlds-top-stats">Agata Sitko (76KG) | 2023 IPF Worlds Top Stats</h3>



<ul>
<li><strong>Squat</strong>&nbsp;— 197.5 kilograms (435.4 pounds) |&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Bench Press</strong>&nbsp;— 153 kilograms (337.3 pounds) | <strong>IPF Open and Junior World Record</strong></li>



<li><strong>Deadlift</strong>&nbsp;— 240 kilograms (529.1 pounds)&nbsp;|<strong> IPF Junior World Record</strong></li>



<li><strong>Total</strong>&nbsp;— 590.5 kilograms (1,301.8 pounds) | <strong>IPF Junior World Record</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>To date, Sitko has now won 13 individual competitions, some of which were where she competed as both an Open and Junior athlete. When factoring in her name all over the IPF World Record books, that is quite the rap sheet to possess for any established strength titan. </p>

<p>Unlike some of her weight class peers, such as <a data-lasso-id="269734" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/farhanna-farid-deadlift-world-record-447-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Farhanna Farid</a>, Corrigan didn&#8217;t set any IPF World Records in the process of her victory. She also did not mark down any personal all-time raw competition bests. That said, the athlete leaned on consistency, <strong>successfully finishing eight of her nine lift attempts</strong> between her best <a data-lasso-id="269735" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">squat</a>, <a data-lasso-id="269736" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/bench-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bench press</a>, and <a data-lasso-id="269737" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadlift</a>. Notably, if Corrigan had successfully pulled off her failed final deadlift of 203 kilograms (447.5 pounds), the athlete would&#8217;ve easily surpassed her own total IPF World Record of 460 kilograms (1,014.3 pounds) from the <a data-lasso-id="269738" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/evie-corrigan-total-1014-pounds-world-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships</a> (SPF). Instead, with her overall performance, Corrigan <strong>tied her own World Record total</strong>.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, Corrigan still captured the impressive first-time victory. At the time of this writing, without complete footage from Corrigan&#8217;s performance, it is unclear what sort of equipment the competitor wore on her squat. Based on photography from White Lights Media (@whitelightsmediauk on Instagram), the athlete donned a <a data-lasso-id="269739" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a> to assist with her <a data-lasso-id="269740" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift-vs-sumo-deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sumo stance</a>, mixed grip deadlift, and completed her bench press completely raw. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of the powerlifter&#8217;s top stats from the 2023 IPF Worlds:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="evie-corrigan-52kg-2023-ipf-worlds-top-stats">Evie Corrigan (52KG) | 2023 IPF Worlds Top Stats</h3>



<ul>
<li><strong>Squat</strong>&nbsp;—&nbsp;162.5 kilograms (358.3 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Bench Press</strong>&nbsp;— 100 kilograms (220.5 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Deadlift&nbsp;</strong>— 197.5 kilograms (435.4 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Total</strong>&nbsp;— 460 kilograms (1,014.1 pounds)</li>
</ul>



<p>As the defending 2023 SPF champion, Corrigan has now secured a spot in the 2024 edition of the contest automatically just by competing in the 2023 IPF Worlds. Leaving with the IPF Worlds win anyway is quite a new addition to her resume. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every now and then, a potential &#8220;dynasty&#8221; can form at the annual International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships. In terms of recent runs to royalty, French powerlifter <a data-lasso-id="269623" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/tiffany-chapon-bench-press-world-record-219-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiffany Chapon</a> may immediately come to mind. Perhaps it is no coincidence that her French Men&#8217;s peer Panagiotis Tarinidis could follow that successful example. </p>



<p>During <a data-lasso-id="269624" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/natalie-richards-world-record-total-1129-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 2023 iteration of the IPF Worlds</a>, taking place on June 11-18 in Valletta, Malta, <strong>Tarinidis captured his second IPF Open World title in the 66-kilogram division in three years</strong>. The athlete came out triumphant in 2021, fell short with a fifth-place finish in 2022, and has now ascended back to the top of the podium as he seeks consistent dominance on a global stage. </p>

<p>While Tarinidis did not have the best <a data-lasso-id="269627" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadlift </a>in the 66-kilogram division — that distinction belongs to his <a data-lasso-id="269628" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/brian-le-deadlift-world-record-662-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Record-holding peer Brian Le</a> — his overall performance remained one to behold. To score his second career IPF Open World title, Tarinidis <a data-lasso-id="269629" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">squatted</a> 247.5 kilograms (545.6 pounds), notched an all-time raw competition PR <a data-lasso-id="269630" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/bench-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bench press</a> of 172.5 kilograms (380.3 pounds), and finished the day with another all-time raw competition PR on his deadlift with 285 kilograms (628.3 pounds). </p>



<p>Tarinidis wore a <a data-lasso-id="269632" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a> and completed his top deadlift from a <a data-lasso-id="269633" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift-vs-sumo-deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conventional stance</a> with a mixed grip. At the time of this writing, without more video, it is unclear what his set-up was on his best squat and bench press. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of the athlete&#8217;s top stats from his performance at the 2023 IPF Worlds:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="panagiotis-tarinidis-66kg-2023-ipf-worlds-top-stats">Panagiotis Tarinidis (66KG) | 2023 IPF Worlds Top Stats</h3>



<ul>
<li><strong>Squat</strong>&nbsp;—&nbsp;247.5 kilograms (545.6 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Bench Press</strong> — 172.5 kilograms (380.3 pounds) | <strong>All-Time Raw Competition PR</strong></li>



<li><strong>Deadlift </strong>— 300.5 kilograms (662.5 pounds) |<strong> All-Time Raw Competition PR</strong></li>



<li><strong>Total</strong>&nbsp;— 705 kilograms (1,554.3 pounds)</li>
</ul>



<p>Notably, Tarinidis fell just 2.4 kilograms (5.4 pounds) short of his all-time raw competition best total of 1,559.7 pounds. According to his personal page on <em><a href="https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/panagiotistarinidis" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="269638">Open Powerlifting</a></em>, the athlete scored that mark at the 2021 Fédération Française de Force (FFForce) Silent Worker Meet. Nonetheless, another first-place showing on this kind of sanctioned stage is nothing to sneeze at. </p>

<p>In a post on his Instagram, Tarinidis seemed understandably proud about his latest accomplishment while discussing his patriotism for his native France. To win a gold medal and subsequently sing the French National Anthem appeared to mean the world to this star of strength sports. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;Being able to have the French anthem play at [the 2023 IPF Worlds], with my friends, family &#8230; was an incredible moment. I wanted to also share it with you. The best victories are the ones you share, that are hard to obtain. And this one is ours.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of his sanctioned strength career, powerlifter Timothy Monigatti has mostly shined in his native New Zealand context. However, on occasion, Monigatti steps out of &#8220;The Shire&#8221; and shows the world what he brings to the table with a <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/7-steps-to-barbell-etiquette/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267617">barbell</a> in his hands. His appearance in the <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/tiffany-chapon-bench-press-world-record-219-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267618">2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships</a> was no different. </p>



<p>During the global tentpole contest in Valletta, Malta, on June 11-18, 2023, Monigatti scored a <strong>283.5-kilogram (625-pound) raw <a data-lasso-id="267619" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">squat</a></strong>. His achievement is <strong>a raw World Record in the 74-kilogram weight class</strong>. The lift helped the athlete finish as the runner-up in his division to the eventual champion Carl Johansson of Sweden. Monigatti wore a <a data-lasso-id="267620" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a> and knee sleeves to help him score his World Record. </p>

<p>Monigatti, who is just 26, can boast various New Zealand National titles over the course of his career that began in September 2015. It&#8217;s where he&#8217;s spent the majority of his competition time by far. That said, the athlete has relatively shined whenever he&#8217;s left the islands in the Pacific Ocean, particularly in the annual IPF Worlds. </p>



<p>According to his personal page on <em><a href="https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/timothymonigatti" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267720">Open Powerlifting</a></em>, Monigatti has now competed in the IPF Worlds on four occasions. As a Juniors competitor in the 74 and 83-kilogram divisions, he finished in third and second place, respectively, from 2018 to 2019. He would return to the IPF stage as an Open 83-kilogram athlete in 2022, taking home a top-five result. From this respect, Monigatti&#8217;s runner-up performance as an Open competitor at the 2023 iteration might be his best international showing yet. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of Monigatti&#8217;s top stats from the 2023 IPF Worlds:</p>

<li><strong><a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/bench-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267624">Bench Press</a></strong>&nbsp;— 170 kilograms (374.8 pounds) </li>

</ul>



<p>Note: The athlete appears to have sometimes alternated between the 74 and 83-kilogram classes throughout his career. The 2023 IPF Worlds were Monigatti&#8217;s second consecutive appearance in the 74-kilogram division after competing in the 83-kilogram category for the better part of the last three years, dating back to July 2020. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships have featured a variety of jaw-dropping performances from a few household names like <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/tiffany-chapon-bench-press-world-record-219-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267194">Chapon</a> and <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/heather-connor-deadlift-world-record-440-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267195">Connor</a>. The latest record stunner in Valletta, Malta, belongs to young star powerlifter Brian Le. During the global contest taking place on June 11-18, 2023, Le successfully <strong><a data-lasso-id="267167" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadlifted</a> 300.5 kilograms (662.5 pounds) raw</strong> while competing in the 66-kilogram category. </p>



<p>The massive pull is an <strong>IPF World Record in the 66-kilogram class</strong> and helped Le capture second place in that same division. Panagiotis Tarinidis was the 66-kilogram champion, just above Le. His mark eclipses <a data-lasso-id="267196" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/kasemsand-senumong-deadlift-705-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kasemsand Senumong&#8217;s</a> past 66-kilogram deadlift World Record of 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds) from the 2022 AsianPF Asian Classic Powerlifting Championships. Le wore a <a data-lasso-id="267168" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifting belt</a> to help assist him with the milestone lift while utilizing a mixed grip and <a data-lasso-id="267169" href="https://breakingmuscle.com/deadlift-vs-sumo-deadlift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sumo pulling stance</a>. </p>

<p>Per his page on <em><a href="https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/brianle1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267197">Open Powerlifting</a></em>, Le&#8217;s silver medal at the 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships was just the second time he&#8217;s lost a contest in his last 10 competitive appearances. Notably, Le is the defending <a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/natalie-richards-total-500-kilograms-powerlifting-america-nationals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267198">Powerlifting America (AMP) Classic National Champion</a> after winning that competition in late February 2023. </p>



<p>Even without a victory, the 2023 IPF Worlds were Le&#8217;s sanctioned international debut. He seemed to maximize the opportunity with a new deadlift achievement in the IPF World Record books. Here&#8217;s an overview of Le&#8217;s complete performance from his first appearance in an international setting:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="brian-le-66kg-2023-ipf-worlds-top-stats">Brian Le (66KG) | 2023 IPF Worlds Top Stats</h3>



<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/back-squat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267174">Squat</a></strong>&nbsp;—&nbsp;242.5 kilograms (534.6 pounds)</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://breakingmuscle.com/bench-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="267175">Bench Press</a></strong>&nbsp;— 152.5 kilograms (336.2 pounds)</li>



<li><strong>Deadlift </strong>— 300.5 kilograms (662.5 pounds) |<strong> IPF World Record</strong></li>



<li><strong>Total</strong> — 695.5 kilograms (1,533.1 pounds)</li>
</ul>



<p>At the minimum, Le could&#8217;ve been in a position for all-time raw competition personal records (PRs) on his other staple lifts. However, the athlete missed one bench press attempt, one squat attempt, and two of his three deadlift tries, even while setting the World Record on his first pull. While this performance remains something to marvel at, Le could have something to build on in the future. </p>
