The stellar pull is not only a double PR for Buettner — who competes in the 76-kilogram weight class — but the weight on the bar is over the current IPF World Record deadlift. Buettner holds that current record — a mark of 247.5 kilograms (545.6 pounds), which she set at the 2021 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships.

Notably, Buettner once pulled 250 kilograms (551 pounds) during the 2020 Canadian Power Union (CPU) Nationals. While not an IPF World Record — it didn’t occur in an international competition — the figure is a National Record. In the years since, Buettner now pulling that deadlift mark twice could be a testament to her training diligence.

A Thorough Preview

The deadlift double unofficial record should be unsurprising when considering Buettner’s recent training history. She’s been showing off a lot of noteworthy gains with her deadlift throughout 2022.

To start the year, Buettner got the ball rolling when she deadlifted 252.5 kilograms (556.6 pounds) with ease, unofficially breaking her IPF World Record (76KG) then and there. Later, in early April 2022, the Canadian displayed a mix of strength and endurance when she pulled 227.2 kilograms (501 pounds) for six reps. Finally, roughly a week earlier, at the time of this writing, Buettner notched a two-rep deadlift of 245 kilograms (541 pounds).

In the caption of her Instagram post, Buettner alludes to her place at the incoming 2022 CPU Nationals, which occur on May 9-14, 2022, in St. Johns, Canada. Following that meet, after a short break, she will then feature at the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships on June 6-12, 2022, in Sun City, South Africa.

Provided Buettner seamlessly transfers over her recent training gains, some of her competition bests might not stand much longer. If all goes well, she could also extend a current competition winning streak — that dates back to late 2019 — to five consecutive victories. Here are Buettner’s top career marks to this stage:

Jessica Buettner (76KG) | Top Meet PRs

Squat — 210.4 kilograms (464 pounds) | Raw | IPF World Record
Bench Press — 105 kilograms (231.5 pounds) | Raw
Deadlift — 250 kilograms (551 pounds) | Raw | National Record
Total — 562.9 kilograms (1,241.2 pounds) | Raw | IPF World Record

What Lies Ahead

In the coming weeks, Buettner will likely enter both the 2022 CPU Nationals and the 2022 IPF World Championships as one of the favorites. Whether she eventually comes out on top is a different story. Though, if she’s going to set some form of a deadlift PR seemingly every week, a couple of more victories and records might soon be her reward.

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.
