A male powerlifter who has often competed against women and even mocked them for being weak reportedly set a women’s national powerlifting record and an unofficial women’s world record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba, on Sunday.
Anne Andres, 40, had a total powerlifting score (based on the total of the heaviest weight lifted for the bench press, and deadlift and squat) of 597.5kg, (roughly 1,317 pounds) more than 200 kg than the top-ranked woman, SuJan Gil, who had a score of 387.5kg (854 pounds), at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship, according to Reduxx.
“Andres’ total would have placed him amongst the top-performing male powerlifters in the entire championship had he participated in the men’s category,” Reduux pointed out.
