AtLarge Nutrition sponsored athlete Laura Phelps-Sweatt just rewrote the record books again setting the all-time highest total in the 165 lbs weight class. Her 745 lbs squat (word record), 530 lbs bench press (world record), and 525 lbs deadlift for a 1,800 lbs total once again solidified her claim to the title of world’s strongest woman.
Laura’s demeanor and the seeming ease with which she lifts set her apart from other strength athletes (men and women). Watching her is akin to watching any great athlete perform, there is a certain artistic beauty to it. Her technique is flawless, and moments after a maximum lift she appears calm and unspent, almost like nothing occurred at all.
We want to congratulate Laura on yet another virtuoso performance and wish her many more!
