When it comes to women’s strength athletes, Lucy Underdown reigns supreme as the ultimate deadlifting powerhouse. Her exceptional abilities in this lift set her apart from any other competitor in the world. She is miles ahead of everyone, which is proved by her records and deadlift event wins in all competitions. As if that wasn’t enough, Lucy Underdown has now set a 305-kilogram (672.4-pound) Kratos Bar Deadlift World Record.
Lucy Underdown set this humongous deadlift World Record at the 2023 UK’s Strongest Woman competition, which took place on May 27-29, in Nottingham, England. The Kratos Barbell Deadlift was the fourth event of the competition. So, Lucy Underdown was already tired from performing three events before setting the World Record as well.
From what can be seen in the Instagram video, Lucy Underdown only utilized a lifting belt and lifting straps to set the 305-kilogram (672.4-pound) Kratos Bar Deadlift World Record. She even made the lift look relatively easy and soaked the glory by holding the bar at lockout for a few seconds as well.

The Kratos Barbell is an absolute game-changer. It’s designed to push your limits and take your deadlifts to the next level. Picture this: a sturdy 10-foot barbell that’s flexible enough to provide a unique challenge. When you go for that initial lift off the ground, you’ll feel the barbell testing your strength a little longer, adding an extra thrill to the exercise. But here’s the best part – once those plates leave the floor, the deadlift becomes smoother and more manageable. It’s like unlocking a whole new level of strength and achievement. Trust me, this barbell is a game-changer for your lifting journey. The bend in the barbell alongside the humongous 305-kilogram (672.4-pound) weight made Lucy Underdown’s lift look epic.
