Although it would seem logical that Shelly Stettner has devoted her life to powerlifting in order to reach this stage, she has actually only been competing professionally for a couple of years now. Her debut was back in October of 2019 and she has since taken part in 10 competitions overall. Boasting a perfect 100% win rate, Shelly is most proud of her victory at the 2022 IPF World Masters Classic & Equipped Powerlifting Championships.

Shelly Stettner hasn’t yet revealed what the next goal on her list is, but she will most likely turn her sights toward the 2023 IPF Masters Worlds. She has a title to defend there which should serve as enough motivation to continue training with full force.
