After taking a brief competitive break, Marcelle is able to go full steam ahead again.
There are powerlifting superstars, and there are powerlifting supernovas. Sherine Marcelle would fit the latter cosmic description. On Mar. 6, 2023, Marcelle shared an Instagram video of herself completing a raw 227.5-kilogram (501-pound) beltless deadlift for 3 reps. In accordance with the caption of Marcelle’s post, the set was a 2.7-kilogram (six-pound) personal record (PR) with this type of deadlift for the standard 90-kilogram athlete.
“So grateful for the those that showed up and proceed to point out up for me. That is the strongest I even have felt and essentially the most I’ve shown up for me.”
Marcelle had no other equipment adorned to help along with her strength milestone. She accomplished her pull from a sumo stance with a mixed grip.

In early June 2022, after competing in February’s Word Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) Ghost Clash, Marcelle had stated she could be taking most of the remainder of the competitive 12 months off to recalibrate. The athlete maintained she previously “fought through injuries” and got here through with flying colours but appeared to need to take a step back in the interim. The competitor still shared various training tidbits — especially two respective back squat PRs in late August 2022 and early September 2022 — but otherwise only featured within the 2022 United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) PWRBLD Winter War in mid-December.
Based on the recent tenor of Marcelle’s Instagram posts in 2023, the athlete is able to make her competitive return sometime in late March and early April. Nevertheless, it’s unclear which specific contest Marcelle will take part in, as she has not offered those concrete details. All that may provide a touch is a February 2023 salute to C.T. Fletcher. The influencer is the organizer of the annual Iron Wars, but there doesn’t look like one other contest listed on his event website in the interim.
Wherever Marcelle does compete, she’s likened to shine: because the athlete often does.
In her last nine skilled appearances, Marcelle has fallen in need of first place just twice while competing raw and with wraps. In accordance with Open Powerlifting, Marcelle possesses one in every of the all-time highest raw squats (244.9 kilograms/540.1 kilos) within the 90-kilogram division, just shy of two-time reigning International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Champion Amanda Lawrence. Should Marcelle compete raw with wraps at her next contest, she may potentially turn her early summer 2022 squat PR (297 kilograms/655 kilos) into an all-time World Record. Only Crystal Tate (290.3 kilograms/640 kilos) has ever squatted more, raw with wraps, as a 90-kilogram competitor.

Pound for pound, Marcelle is one in every of the strongest powerlifters ever, no matter division. Because the official start of her personal competitive 2023 season nears, it seems apparent that the athlete will live as much as that elite billing again.
