Team Ontario showed up and showed out at the IPF World Championships in Lithuania this past week! First was Luke Homer placing 4th in the 74kg class hitting a national record squat of 295, a 160 bench press, and a 315 deadlift for a 770 total. Having placed 2nd at nationals and beating out the national champion, Jacob Lavoie, on the day. Next was Kafui Hotsonyame placing 5th with a 290 squat, 182.5 bench, and a PR deadlift of 342.5. Finally was Brittany Schlater, setting a new world record total of 756.5, and bringing her 4th world title home. She hit a 302.5 squat, a 165 bench, and a 289 deadlift. What a phenomenal showing from all three athletes as each athlete either matched or beat their personal best totals on the world stage. Great job!
