The 76-kilogram weight class of the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships was one of the most heavily contested in the entire competition. Multiple elite women took part in this weight class, so anyone who managed to outperform others deserves great praise. Notably, Sophia Ellis crushed everyone on the deadlifts, setting new European and British Records with a lift of 245 kilograms (540.1 pounds).
There was no doubt about the validity of Sophia Ellis’ 245-kilogram (540.1-pound) record breaking deadlift since she made sure that every detail of her technique was perfect. Moreover, Sophia believed that there was more left in the tank because of the ease with which the deadlift moved.
“So pleased with how this weight moved and so psyched to know there is more there. 250kg pending ?”
Both records were in the possession of Sophia Ellis beforehand as well, but the more notable one, the EPF European Record, was set at the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships. At that competition, Sophia locked out 240.5 kilograms (530.2 pounds), but she has now lifted 4.5 kilograms (9.9 pounds) more.

2023 IPF World Championships Related Content

The 76-kilogram weight class of the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships was one of the most heavily contested in the entire competition. Multiple elite women took part in this weight class, so anyone who managed to outperform others deserves great praise. Notably, Sophia Ellis crushed everyone on the deadlifts, setting new European and British Records with a lift of 245 kilograms (540.1 pounds).
There was no doubt about the validity of Sophia Ellis’ 245-kilogram (540.1-pound) record breaking deadlift since she made sure that every detail of her technique was perfect. Moreover, Sophia believed that there was more left in the tank because of the ease with which the deadlift moved.

Both records were in the possession of Sophia Ellis beforehand as well, but the more notable one, the EPF European Record, was set at the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships.

Sophia Ellis has been competing for five years, but she has already taken part in 30 sanctioned competitions. She has won 14 of them, with the most notable being the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships.
Sophia Ellis has been getting consistently better over the past years, which will hopefully continue for years to come. With a new European Deadlift Record, she proved that she is performing better than she ever has before. As she states, there is still much room to improve. So, Sophia will continue improving and chasing world records.

There was no doubt about the validity of Sophia Ellis’ 245-kilogram (540.1-pound) record breaking deadlift since she made sure that every detail of her technique was perfect. Moreover, Sophia believed that there was more left in the tank because of the ease with which the deadlift moved.
“So pleased with how this weight moved and so psyched to know there is more there. 250kg pending ?”
Both records were in the possession of Sophia Ellis beforehand as well, but the more notable one, the EPF European Record, was set at the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships. At that competition, Sophia locked out 240.5 kilograms (530.2 pounds), but she has now lifted 4.5 kilograms (9.9 pounds) more.

Sophia Ellis has been competing for five years, but she has already taken part in 30 sanctioned competitions. She has won 14 of them, with the most notable being the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships.
Sophia Ellis has been getting consistently better over the past years, which will hopefully continue for years to come. With a new European Deadlift Record, she proved that she is performing better than she ever has before. As she states, there is still much room to improve. So, Sophia will continue improving and chasing world records.
2023 IPF World Championships Related Content
Published: 30 June, 2023 | 10:11 AM EDT
There was no doubt about the validity of Sophia Ellis’ 245-kilogram (540.1-pound) record breaking deadlift since she made sure that every detail of her technique was perfect. Moreover, Sophia believed that there was more left in the tank because of the ease with which the deadlift moved.
“So pleased with how this weight moved and so psyched to know there is more there. 250kg pending ?”
[/quote]
Both records were in the possession of Sophia Ellis beforehand as well, but the more notable one, the EPF European Record, was set at the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships. At that competition, Sophia locked out 240.5 kilograms (530.2 pounds), but she has now lifted 4.5 kilograms (9.9 pounds) more.
