The American Powerlifting Federation (APF) Cincinnati Women’s Pro/Am witnessed history on April 11, 2021. Powerlifter Jaclyn Cornwell hit a new all-time world record squat of 258.5 kilograms (570 pounds) in wraps in the 67.5-kilogram weight class. She won the event with the following stats:

  • Squat — 258.5 kilograms (570 pounds), all-time world record
  • Bench Press — 113.4 kilograms (250 pounds)
  • Deadlift — 213.2 kilograms (470 pounds)
  • Total — 585.1 kilograms (1,290 pounds)

If you have not yet seen Cornwell’s world record squat, you can check out the video below, courtesy of her Instagram page. Cornwell wore a lifting belt and Converse sneakers during the lift (in addition to knee wraps).

Cornwell’s new world record squat was 3.8 times her body weight. According to Open Powerlifting, this lift bested the previous all-time world record squat of 256.2 kilograms (564.8 pounds) hit by Stacy Burr at the 2019 Xtreme Powerlifting Coalition (XPC) Pro Finals. Burr currently holds the all-time world record total in the weight class — 650.9 kilograms (1,435 pounds).

Cornwell’s Competitive Career

Despite having claim to the heaviest squat ever performed in competition in the 67.5-kilogram class (raw with wraps), Cornwell’s competitive career only spans three competitions before her appearance at the APF Cincinnati Women’s Pro/Am, per Open Powerlifting. However, when she shows up for a competition, she doesn’t lose.

She has won gold in all four of her competitive appearances since 2017 across two weight classes. Here is the breakdown in addition to her recent win at the APF Cincinnati Women’s Pro/Am:

2020 Revolution Powerlifting Syndicate (RPS) Beast of the Bluegrass — first place, 67.5 kilograms

  • Squat — 237.5 kilograms (523.6 pounds)
  • Bench Press — 107.5 kilograms (237 pounds)
  • Deadlift — 200 kilograms (440.9 pounds)
  • Total — 545 kilograms (1,201.5 pounds)

2018 RPS Women’s Worlds and Supreme Iron Warrior — first place, 75 kilograms

  • Squat — 219.9 kilograms (485 pounds)
  • Bench Press — 99.7 kilograms (220 pounds)
  • Deadlift — 190.5 kilograms (420 pounds)
  • Total — 510.2 kilograms (1,125 pounds)

2017 RPS Lexen Fall Classic — first place, 67.5 kilograms, amateur division

  • Squat — 183.7 kilograms (405 pounds)
  • Bench Press — 81.6 kilograms (180 pounds)
  • Deadlift — 167.8 kilograms (370 pounds)
  • Total — 433.1 kilograms (955 pounds)

In addition to the world record, every lift Cornwell hit in her APF Cincinnati Women’s Pro/Am performance was a competition personal record.

Cornwell took the time to thank those who helped her train, her family, and the event staff on her Instagram page but did not disclose when she plans to compete next. When she does, we’ll have our eyes peeled if she calls for yet another world record weight on the barbell.
