Underdown continues to indicate why she’s an unmitigated superstar.
On July 19, 2023, strongwoman Lucy Underdown shared an Instagram video of her deadlifting 300 kilograms (661.4 kilos) for 3 reps during a recent training session. The strength feat is notable because that weight is the present strongwoman World Record. Underdown herself set that mark in 2021.
For assistive equipment on her latest feat of strength, the elite strongwoman wore a lifting belt and lifting straps, and accomplished her mind-boggling pulls from a standard stance with a double-overhand grip.

That is removed from the primary time Underdown has made waves with one among her deadlift sessions.
Only only recently, roughly every week before this three-rep pulling bonanza, Underdown shared a 280-kilogram (617.3-pound) four-rep bout of strength-endurance and power in a single. Couple that with owning each the strongwoman deadlift World Record and the Kratos Bar deadlift World Record of 305 kilograms (672.4 kilos), and Underdown continues to differentiate herself as one among the globe’s best deadlifters.
Underdown isn’t only a strong athlete in the case of pulling massive weight from the bottom. That’s further evidenced by a private record (PR) log press of 105 kilograms (231.5 kilos) for 3 reps from July 17, 2023. In almost every case, Underdown made these lifts look predictably easy. It is a promising sign for her pending competitions.
Underdown is within the midst of preparing for a litany of strongwoman contests.
The athlete will feature in each of the upcoming 2023 Europe’s Strongest Woman, the 2023 Britain’s Strongest Woman (BSW), and the 2023 England’s Strongest Woman contests. Despite her status built on World Records, Underdown continues to be trying to construct on the one win of her skilled profession — the 2022 England’s Strongest Woman — based on her profile on Strongman Archives. The athlete got here close throughout the 2023 UK’s Strongest Woman (UKSW) but ultimately fell short by one point to defending champion Rebecca Roberts.
If Underdown transfers over her deadlifts and displays of strength like this to any of her upcoming strongwoman appearances, one other future milestone victory feels likely. It will undoubtedly be an enormous moment for one among the game’s greater stars.

As Underdown can likely attest herself, all it might take to finally break through with one other win is another glorious moment where she could leap over her peers. Perhaps, her deadlift or log press will eventually help this ambitious quest.
