Sherine Marcelle is one of the greatest powerlifters of all time, but she won’t be competing through the rest of 2022. Instead, per a June 6 post on her Instagram , the 90-kilogram athlete is taking time away from sanctioned lifting platforms to perfect her craft. With every new eye-opening feat on her social media, it seems the athlete’s training recalibration is going swimmingly.  On August 28, 2022, Marcelle shared an Instagram video of herself squatting 257.6 kilograms (568 pounds) raw for two reps while wearing a lifting belt and knee sleeves. The demonstration of leg strength is a new personal record (PR) for Marcelle and unofficially exceeds Amanda Lawrence’s Raw World Record in the 90-kilogram division by four pounds, set at the 2020 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Gainsgiving Open.             View this post on Instagram                         A po...
