At any time when she decides to hold up her lifting belt, Bonica Brown will likely be considered one in every of the best powerlifters of all time. For now, the 33-year-old athlete still has more records to set.

On July 10, 2022, Brown (+84KG) squatted 322.5 kilograms (711 kilos) through the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama. The squat mark is a latest equipped World Record for the +84-kilogram International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) division. By the meet’s end, Brown’s display of leg strength helped her take home the silver medal.

Notably, Brown got here near breaking her own equipped World Record total of 791 kilograms (1,743.8 kilos). Unfortunately, upon further review, judges overturned her third deadlift attempt of 260 kilograms (573 kilos). In consequence, Brown fell just six kilograms (13.2 kilos) in need of a latest total record, in response to the IPF database. Brown’s equipped World Record total of 791 kilograms (1,743 kilos) is from the 2019 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships.

The 2022 World Games were scored on a pound-for-pound basis. On this merit, Canada’s Rhaea Stinn won the +84-kilogram division gold medal on the strength of her top lifts related to her competitive body weight. Per The World Games website, Stinn weighed 83.2 kilograms (183.4 kilos). Meanwhile, Brown weighed in at 135.6 kilograms (298.9 kilos). Brown actually beat Stinn’s top squat, deadlift, and total, but Stinn’s best stats carried more points because she weighed less.

Notably, with a bench press of 227 kilograms (500.4 kilos), Stinn also prolonged her own equipped bench press World Record from the 2021 IPF World Championships by 4 kilograms (8.8 kilos).

Listed below are Brown’s top stats from this contest:

• Bench Press — 215 kilograms (474 kilos)
• Deadlift — 247.5 kilograms (545 kilos)
• Total — 785 kilograms (1,730 kilos)

Brown’s latest record on the World Games is nothing out of the bizarre for the powerlifter. The athlete has won the IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships seven times (2014-2019, 2022). Along with her equipped records, Brown possesses the raw squat and total World Records. She notched each her record raw squat of 273.5 kilograms (603 kilos) and record raw total of 673.5 kilograms (1,484.1 kilos) on the 2022 IPF World Championships. This equipped World Record is simply roughly three kilograms off of Brown’s heaviest single-ply squat of 325 kilograms (716.5 kilos) from the 2019 USA Powerlifting Nationals.

One other record in a global competition appears to be par for the course for Brown.

On the time of this writing, Brown has not announced when she is going to compete next in a sanctioned competition. Given the sample size of her profession, it is perhaps fair to assume the powerlifter will add one other record to her resume each time that contest comes across the bend.
