Timothy Monigatti (74KG) Sets IPF World Record Raw Squat of 283.5 Kilograms at 2023 IPF World Classic Championships

The wave of world record performances felt unending at the 2023 IPF World Classic Championships in St. Julian’s, Malta, on June 11-18, 2023. In the Men’s 74-kilogram class, the eventual silver-medalist Timothy Monigatti of New Zealand set a new IPF raw squat world record of 283.5 kilograms on his third attempt.

Although Monigatti’s performance was one for the record books, as was his rival, who claimed gold with an equivalent raw total of 778 kilograms. Carl Johansson of Sweden set a new IPF raw deadlift world record and new IPF raw Junior world record total at a bodyweight two-tenths of a kilogram lesser than Monigatti.
