The 2023 World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) Ghost Clash 2 was a highly anticipated powerlifting meet of the calendar year. Hunter Henderson’s impressive performance might have stolen the spotlight amidst the victorious performances by many other competitors at the Miami, FL, event.
On February 19, 2023, Hunter Henderson made history by setting an all-time World Record squat with knee sleeves at the WRPF contest. As an 82.5-kilogram competitor, she lifted 267.5 kilograms (589.7 pounds), surpassing her own previous raw record in the same weight class, which she set by squatting 250 kilograms (551.1 pounds) at the 2022 United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) Hybrid Showdown 4 in January 2022. Henderson’s latest achievement is a remarkable addition of 17.4 kilograms (38.6 pounds) to her previous raw best. She used wrist wraps and a lifting belt in addition to knee sleeves during the squat.
