The 74-kilogram weight class at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships was sensational. While many cheered for Taylor Atwood, who came back to fight for his third IPF World Title, two other athletes put up incredible performances to outperform him. One of those was Timothy Monigatti from New Zealand, who also set a huge new 283.5-kilogram (625-pound) Squat IPF World Record.
Timothy Monigatti opened his squat session with a smooth 267.5-kilogram (589.7-pound) lift before moving up to 277.5 kilograms (611.8 pounds) for his second attempt. Seeing that this attempt was also comfortable for Timothy, he decided to load up an IPF World Record for his third attempt.
After Timothy Monigattie successfully completed his third squat attempt, he officially claimed the IPF World Record. So, not only did he place higher than Atwood, but Timothy also broke Taylor’s Record of 283 kilograms (623.9 pounds), which he set at the 2019 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships.

Having set a Squat World Record, Timothy Monigatti was on track to win the 74-kilogram weight class at the 2023 IPF World Championships. However, he ended up tying with Carl Johansson, as both men finished with a Total of 778 kilograms (1,715.2 pounds).
Only one man could be crowned champion, so a tiebreaker was put in place. Having the same Total, it came down to which man had the lower bodyweight. Unfortunately for Timothy Monigatti, Carl weighed in 0.2 kilograms (0.4 pounds) lighter and won the 74-kilogram weight class.

Timothy Monigatti, now 27 years old, has been competing since he was a teenager, appearing in his first professional contest in 2015. Since then, he has taken part in 26 sanctioned competitions, frequently altering between the 74-kilogram and 83-kilogram weight classes. He’s been equally successful in both, winning a total of 21 competitions over the years.
Although Timothy Monigatti’s second-place finish is impressive, he acknowledged that “there is more to come in the future”. With a new World Record under his belt, Timothy sees that nothing is impossible. So, after a near miss this year, Timothy will look to conquer the IPF and become the World Champion next year.
