Entering the 2023 IPF World Equipped Championships, taking place from Nov. 13-19, 2023, in Vilnius, Lithuania, the all-time IPF equipped squat world record in the 57-kilogram class was held by Sri Hartati of Indonesia — 225 kilograms set in 2018. While that record withstood many failed attempts to oust it, it could not outlast Monserrate’s successful 227.5-kilogram (501.5-pound) squat in her third attempt. Take a look at Monserrate’s new IPF equipped squat world record lift in the video below, courtesy of the IPF’s Instagram page:

2023 IPF World Equipped Championships Results – Kenia Monserrate (ECU) 57KG
In the video, Monserrate took a series of rapid breaths to compose herself before bracing for the descent. She maintained an upright position on the way down, pressing into the knee wraps, and was rewarded with a smooth ascent, roaring her triumph at the top.
This huge squat gave Monserrate the lead in the competition going into bench press, but her new squat record suddenly looked in doubt when she missed her first two bench press attempts. In the IPF, any single lift world record must be accompanied by a total to be accepted. It was a tense moment, but a huge cheer came from the crowd when the referees’ lights shone pure white on Monserrate’s third attempt.
The issues on bench press meant that Monserrate could not mount a serious challenge to Kimberly Johnson, who stormed to her second world title in a row. However, Monserrate came under huge pressure from Italy’s Alessandra Cernigliaro. In the end, Monserrate took the silver medal on bodyweight.
The IPF World Equipped Championships run until Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, and every session can be watched live for free on The Olympics YouTube channel.
