Each of the three respective finishers on the podium — Chance Mitchell, Emil Krastev, and Jonathan Cayco — surpassed the IPF raw World Record total entering the competition. Cayco held the previous top mark for the 93-kilogram weight class with an 873-kilogram (1,924.6-pound) total from the 2021 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships.

At 27-years-old, Mitchell captured his first-ever IPF World title thanks mainly to a raw World Record deadlift of 373.5 kilograms (823.4 pounds) and a World Record total of 878.5 kilograms (1,936.8 pounds).

Mitchell expressed gratitude for his performance in a post on his Instagram:

“L after L after L after L and now 2022 IPF World Champion. From barely making the USA team to winning the most competitive class at Worlds,” Mitchell wrote. “My dream became a reality today. I am so grateful but I don’t think I’ve processed it yet. Thank you to everyone who supported me, it’s been a long, brutal road to get to this point.”

Here are the best stats for each of the podium finishers in the 93-kilogram weight class:

The 2022 IPF Worlds were Mitchell’s debut at the competition. Some of the more noteworthy results of his career before his first IPF victory include a fourth-place finish in the 2021 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Raw Nationals and a second-place finish in the 2022 AMP Classic Open Nationals.

A New Bench King

While Cayco undoubtedly wanted to defend his 2021 IPF World title, he didn’t leave South Africa empty-handed. The powerlifter scored a new World Record with a 238.5-kilogram (525.8-pound) bench press. It extends his own past top international mark from the 2021 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships by half a kilogram. Cayco’s all-time competition best is a 242.5-kilogram (534.6-pound) bench press from the 2021 USAPL Iron Office Winter Classic.

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.
