Denise Herber is a force to be reckoned with in the powerlifting world. As an elite powerlifter representing Germany, she has been working tirelessly to chase world records and set new personal bests. Therefore, in her most recent training session, she achieved a new deadlift personal record of 275 kilograms (606.3 pounds).
It is important to note that this PR comes just 11 days before Denise Herber’s next competition, the 2023 XPC European Championship, where she will be attempting to set a new All-Time Raw Deadlift World Record in the 75-kilogram weight class. The current record stands at 277.5 kilograms (611.8 pounds), which was set by Kristy Hawkins at the 2022 WRPF American Pro. It will be interesting to see if Denise is able to achieve this goal at the upcoming competition.
Denise Herber’s recent deadlift PR was performed seemingly without any equipment, except for a possible lifting belt. This is impressive, as many powerlifters rely on specialized gear such as knee wraps and lifting suits to help them lift heavier weights. However, Denise’s technique and strength were enough to allow her to lift the impressive 275 kilograms (606.3 pounds) without any assistance. Her technique involved a conventional stance and a mixed grip.
“PB @ 275kg / 606lbs 👀 5 red plates! It was my last heavy deadlift session #11daysout I think I’m ready for that ATWR attempt @ least 278kg -75kg class.”
Among the many things that can be observed about Denise Herber’s physique are her extremely shredded quadriceps and hamstrings. Her training and diet reflect her commitment to powerlifting. It is evident that Denise maintains a lean and muscular physique, which is an indication of her dominance in the sport.
Denise Herber’s career as a powerlifter has been nothing short of impressive, with a record of 10 sanctioned powerlifting events under her belt. Of those 10 events, she has won 8, proving her consistency and ability to bring her best to each competition.
