The echelons of powerlifting witnessed an electric atmosphere during the 2023 FFForce Girl Power competition. While the venue in Cenon was filled with fans eagerly expecting a display of sheer strength, little did they know they would be witnessing history. Jade Jacob, a paragon in the 57-kilogram category, didn’t merely participate; she dominated, forging an unofficial IPF World Record in her wake.
The Rise and Rise of Jade Jacob
Jade’s foray into the world of powerlifting was anything but ordinary. Every lift, every drop of sweat, told a tale of dedication paired with an insatiable drive to break barriers. Her journey in Cenon epitomized her career thus far. She opened with a formidable squat of 167.5-kilogram (369.3-pound) with an effortlessness that belied the weight. Her second attempt at 180 kilograms (396.8 pounds) was a hair’s breadth away from her previous competition highs. Yet, the crescendo of her performance was the jaw-dropping 186-kilogram squat, a weight that shattered existing benchmarks and staked her claim to an unofficial IPF World Record.
