Eugenie’s strength profile continues to rise.
On June 6, 2023, Samantha Eugenie shared an Instagram video of herself capturing a 122.5-kilogram (270-pound) raw bench press during a training session. Based on the caption of the 20-year-old powerlifter’s post, the strength mark is a private record (PR). Eugenie utilized just wrist wraps to assist her with the achievement, which might qualify as raw in an official powerlifting competition.
Per Eugenie’s personal page on Open Powerlifting, if this training lift occurred in a sanctioned competition, it might’ve eclipsed Eugenie’s all-time raw competition better of 109.9 kilograms (242.5 kilos) by 12.4 kilograms (27.5 kilos). Eugenie scored that mark at her most up-to-date meet in early April — the 2023 Fédération Française de Force (FFForce) Championnats de France Juniors de Force de Athletique in a first-place performance for the 69-kilogram weight class. The competition was just the second appearance for Eugenie within the 69-kilogram division.

Remarkable milestones like this are nothing latest for Eugenie, based on her standards. In reality, a 110-kilogram (242.5-pound) easy raw bench press double shared over her Instagram profile roughly only every week earlier may need teased Eugenie’s latest upper body breakthrough.
Since becoming a competitive powerlifter in October 2018, Eugenie has seemingly only grown in strength and appropriate status. So far, as a Sub-Juniors, Juniors, and occasional Open athlete, Eugenie has won nine of 12 profession contests. Probably the most notable results of her profession is perhaps a 63-kilogram title on the 2022 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Junior Classic Powerlifting Championships. Eugenie has won three of her last 4 competitions, including the previously mentioned 2023 FFForce Championnats de France Juniors de Force.
On an official records basis, Eugenie holds the IPF Junior World Record raw deadlift of 216 kilograms (476.2 kilos) within the 63-kilogram class. The athlete captured that record number on the 2023 IPF World Juniors.
Here’s an outline of Eugenie’s all-time competition bests as they stand before the following phase of her competitive outlook unfolds:
Samantha Eugenie | All-Time Raw Competition Bests
- Squat — 184.9 kilograms (407.8 kilos)
- Bench Press — 109.9 kilograms (242.5 kilos)
- Deadlift — 220.5 kilograms (486.1 kilos)
- Total — 515.4 kilograms (1,136.4 kilos)
On the time of this text’s publication, it’s unclear where and when Eugenie will take her strength talents next. All that seems apparent is that the athlete is able to smash a few of her established precedents very soon.

Eugenie has seemingly only begun her profession and already turn into a household name. With that sort of distinction, the stratosphere appears to be the limit for this young phenom.
