Strongwoman Lucy Underdown Locks Out 310-kg (683.4-lb) Unofficial Deadlift World Record & PR
Lucy Underdown is on a streak of hitting new personal records in training, and it doesn’t seem like she will stop any time soon. As everyone knows, Lucy’s greatest strength is her deadlift, but she has now taken it to a whole new level. She was already capable of playing around with the current World Record weight beforehand, but has now revealed what her current one rep deadlift max is. Moreover, she posted a video of her brand new 310-kilogram (683.4-pound) deadlift PR on Instagram.
Since Lucy Underdown holds the current World Record of 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds), it means that her new PR is also an Unofficial World Record. However, considering how incredibly heavy this lift is, Lucy made it look easier than expected. Moreover, she only used a lifting belt and lifting straps to unofficially break the World Record by 10 kilograms (22 pounds).
Lucy Underdown captioned the video with two questions. “How much more can I Pull?” and “Will I get 700lbs +?”. So, she is obviously not satisfied enough with this lift and hopes to lift even more. Lucy has also confirmed in one comment that she will be attempting to break the record in a Raw Strongman fashion. This means that she will not put on a deadlift suit for her official attempt, but will use lifting straps.

Lucy Underdown received an invite to the 2023 Giants Live World Deadlift Championships, which will take place on September 2nd, in Cardiff, Wales. She accepted and will be the only woman to take part in this competition alongside 15 men. Judging by her new deadlift PR, Lucy should crush the World Record, assuming that she remains injury free, which will hopefully be the case.
Only one other Strongwoman has shown deadlift prowess close to Lucy Underdown. That woman is Victoria Long, who deadlifted 297 kilograms (654.8 pounds) with ease just a few days ago at the 2023 Khaos Classic. However, Victoria then jumped straight to 700 pounds and injured her hamstring. So, Lucy is now aiming to set the World Record bar even higher, making it practically untouchable for almost anyone.
Lucy Underdown also set a 305-kilogram (672.4-pound) Deadlift World Record on a Kratos Barbell at the 2023 UK’s Strongest Woman competition. She took part in the full contest as well, losing the title in the final event to Rebecca Roberts. However, she already has some other titles to her name, having won Arnold’s UK Strongwoman Pro and England’s Strongest Woman competitions in 2022.

Lucy Underdown has not been solely focusing on the deadlifts in training. Instead, she has been getting stronger overall, which is clear from the fact that she set a new 120-kilogram (264.6-pound) Log Lift PR just two days ago. So, she could very well become the World’s Strongest Woman very soon or claim some other prestigious titles.
