The 2025 Sheffield Contest is Heating Up
Sonita Muluh Set to Compete and Break Her Own Record?
Last updated on December 6th, 2024
Sonita Muluh, the current all-time world record holder in the raw squat with a lift of 311 kilograms, is set to compete in the 2025 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships on January 26, 2025, in Sheffield, England. Her presence in Sheffield is already generating significant buzz, and her recent Instagram post has only added to the excitement.
A New Personal Best and a Potential World Record
On December 5, 2024, Muluh posted a video on her Instagram page showing her squatting 318 kilograms raw in a drug-tested competition. While this lift is unofficial since it was not performed in a sanctioned international contest, it is still an impressive feat and suggests that Muluh may be on track to break her own world record in Sheffield.
In her Instagram post, Muluh wrote, “13 kilograms more than I have ever done in the gym and seven kilograms above my all-time world record from June 23, 2024, tested and untested at 311 kilograms. I don’t know what to expect. 7.5 weeks to make this cleaner, smother, and faster and make history AGAIN IN SHEFFIELD.”
A Reasonable Expectation
Muluh’s current world record is 20 kilograms more than the next closest competitor’s heaviest ever raw squat, and she has acknowledged that she’s hitting personal bests in competition with time to spare. As she competes in the superheavyweight category, she will not have to contend with cutting weight to achieve a particular weight class restriction. Therefore, as the Sheffield Powerlifting Championships approach, it’s reasonable to expect that Muluh will break her all-time squat world record, and the question becomes by how much.
