First, Sitko — who competed in the 84-kilogram weight class — notched a 188-kilogram (414.4-pound) bench press. While the competition is still tallying all individual scores, that feat would stand as a new Junior International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Record. Next, she locked out a 251.5-kilogram deadlift (551.4-pound) — another IPF Junior and Open World Record. By the meet’s end, Sitko logged a 704.5-kilogram total (1,553.1-pound) — yet one more IPF Junior and Open World Record.

Sitko managed to surpass three separate powerlifters with each of her record lifts.

American athlete LeAnn Ramirez previously held the Juniors (84KG) record with a press of 175.5 kilograms (386.9 pounds) at the 2019 IPF World Juniors & Sub-Juniors Championships. Dutch athlete Iris Kensenhuis was the owner of the deadlift world record with a pull of 251 kilograms (553.3 pounds) from the 2019 IPF World Powerlifting Championships. Finally, Canadian powerlifter Rhaea Stinn is no longer in possession of the world record total of 685 kilograms (1,510.1 pounds) at the 2019 IPF World Powerlifting Championships.

All of these women’s staggering figures now come in second to Sitko. Here are the full stats of Sitko’s performance from the meet:

Sitko at a Glance

She’s hitting a real groove of late, but Sitko has been powerlifting professionally for a few years now. She began her career during the 2019 PZKFiTS Polish Classic Powerlifting Cup, finishing in second place.

Meanwhile, Sitko used to compete in the 76-kilogram weight class. It is here where she is also in possession of a couple of IPF Juniors World Records — a 230-kilogram deadlift (507-pound) and a 650-kilogram total (1,433-pound). Sitko set both of those marks at the 2021 IPF World Powerlifting Championships.

In addition to her latest EPF competition, here are some more notable results from Sitko’s career:

What’s Next

At the time of writing, Sitko has not formally announced when she’ll step onto a sanctioned lifting platform again. Though, if her career history is any indication, it might be safe to assume she’ll participate in the upcoming 2021 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships on June 6-12, 2022, in Sun City, South Africa.

Whenever Sitko does get a barbell into her hands during a competition, fireworks may well ensure.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
