Powerlifter Samantha Eugenie Scores 122.5-kg (270.1-lb) Raw Bench Press PR In Training

Muscle Insider

New member
It is remarkable that Samantha Eugenie, who is just 20 years old, is bench pressing more than the majority of her male peers. She is also locking out these massive weights despite weighing around 70 kilograms (154.3 pounds), thus demonstrating how strong she is. Samantha’s impressive bench press lifts have almost reached 2x her bodyweight, as her most recent bench press PR has marked a significant improvement. She set the personal record during a training session which saw her reach new heights with a 122.5-kilogram (270.1-pound) bench press.
As can be seen in her Instagram story, Samantha Eugenie first set a personal record with a 120-kilogram (264.5-pound) bench press. However, the ease at which the weight moved gave Samantha some motivation to attempt an even heavier lift. So, she loaded up 122.5 kilograms (270.1 pounds) on the barbell and grinded it out.
Due to the fact that Samantha Eugenie competes in the raw division of powerlifting, she only used wrist wraps to relieve the pressure on her joints while lifting.
