On May 13, 2022, Buettner — who competes in the 76-kilogram weight class — broke four raw Canadian National records with a 217.5-kilogram (479.5-pound) squat, a 107.5-kilogram (237-pound) bench press, a 252.5-kilogram (566.7-pound) deadlift, and 577.5-kilogram total. Buettner performed the squat in a lifting belt, wrist wraps, and knee wraps. Meanwhile, she did her bench press wearing just a belt and wrist wraps, and her deadlift with only a belt.

Notably, while unofficial because they didn’t occur in an international competition, Buettner’s marks on the squat, deadlift, and total exceeded the respective current International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) Open Classic World Records for her weight class. Buettner posted a video that features all four of her stellar lifts to her Instagram profile:

Here’s a complete overview of Buettner’s stats from this meet:

Jessica Buettner (76KG) | 2022 CPU Nationals

Squat (Raw) — 217.5 kilograms (479.5 pounds) | Canadian National Record | Unofficial IPF World Record
Bench Press (Raw) — 107.5 kilograms (237 pounds) | Canadian National Record
Deadlift (Raw) — 252.5 kilograms (556.7 pounds) | Canadian National Record | Unofficial IPF World Record
Total (Raw) — 577.5 kilograms (1,273.2 pounds) | Canadian National Record | Unofficial IPF World Record

Buettner’s dominant performance adds to the champion powerlifter’s growing impressive rap sheet. Since she began her professional career in 2014, Buettner has now won 16 of 18 sanctioned meets. In those two non-first place results, she finished in second place. Plus, Buettner’s win at the 2022 CPU Nationals means she has won four straight competitions outright. That top-notch streak dates back to September 2019.

In addition to footage of each of her lifts, Buettner shared a highlight video of her performance from White Lights Media. Check it out below:

The Best-Laid Plans

Buettner did not mince her words at her pride over her new achievements. The Canadian athlete had been hard at work for a great deal of 2022 to reach this point, and her efforts were finally visible on a sanctioned lifting platform. With some of her unfortunate obstacles, she’s also certainly no stranger to pushing through adversity.

“I had a plan and stuck to it, and now it’s time to train for worlds in four weeks,” Buettner wrote. “I never take any performances for granted no matter how well training has been going, mostly on account of diabetes, so it is amazing to get the chance to execute and put it all together on the platform.”

A continued summer season of achievement might be on the horizon for Buettner. As she alluded to, the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships are right around the corner on June 6-12, 2022, in Sun City, South Africa. As the reigning champion in the 76-kilogram weight class, she’ll defend her title there.

While basking in her victory, Buettner will likely take some appropriate time to rest. Then, in a few weeks, it could be time for this elite powerlifter to add some new world records to her resume.

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.
