In the year 2021, International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League member Darwin Uribe burst onto the scene when he won the 2021 Chicago Pro in the Classic Physique division. With an earned qualification to the 2021 Mr. Olympia, Uribe ended up forgoing the prestigious contest. The athlete would return the following year to win the 2022 Houston Tournament of Champions but decided not to compete in the Olympia again. With another competitive season now in full swing in 2023, the bodybuilder has made another tough decision. On Feb. 21, 2023, Uribe revealed in an Instagram post that he would be withdrawing his place as a presumed Classic Physique competitor in the 2023 Arnold Classic (AC) .

Jesus Olivares’s Instagram username is “mega.gojira” — a play on words of the Japanese term for “Godzilla,” the fictional nuclear reptilian monster that brings nothing but destruction in its wake. Considering what Olivares achieves in the gym and on sanctioned lifting platforms, he certainly picked a fitting personal nickname nodding to his incredible strength . His latest leg-power feat once again paints the picture of a powerlifter worthy of the title, “King of the Monsters.” On Feb. 20, 2023, Olivares posted an Instagram video of himself finishing off a 465-kilogram (1,025.1-pound) raw back squat during a training session. The lift is a personal record (PR) for the usual 120-kilogram-plus powerlifter. Olivares wore wrist wraps, a lifting belt , and knee sleeves to help him attain a new personal high-water mark. He also had no less than six spotters surrounding the bar during the lift for safety. View this post on Instagram A post ...

Jessica Buettner had planned to compete as an 84-kilogram powerlifter for a little while now, but the superstar waited to put the shift into action. With the 2023 Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) Nationals occurring on Feb. 13-18, 2023, in Richmond, BC, Canada, the reigning two-time Open International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Champion proved it was worth the wait. By the competition’s end, Buettner scored two raw Canadian National Records with a deadlift of 250 kilograms (551.2 pounds) and a total of 559 kilograms (1,232.4 pounds). Such results helped Buettner capture her third Canadian National title in four years. (Note: Buettner did not participate in the 2021 edition.) The athlete wore a lifting belt , wrist wraps, and knee sleeves for her squats , wrist wraps and a belt for bench presses , and just a belt for her deadlifts .
