Ashleigh Hoeta, the first woman to bench press an incredible 317.5 kg

Meet Ashleigh Hoeta, a powerhouse, champion arm wrestler from New Zealand, who’s made history by becoming the first woman to bench press an incredible 317.5 kg (700 lbs)!  That’s the equivalent of 154 two-litre milk bottles!


This incredible feat, achieved at the IPL Tombstone Meet, just three years after overcoming a stroke, not only breaks the world record of 294.8 kg but also shatters the glass ceiling for female powerlifters across the globe.


Ashleigh's journey exemplifies the strength of pure grit. Now she sets her sights even higher, with aspirations to achieve a bench press of 400 kg. All eyes are on her, and we look forward to the incredible feats she will accomplish next!
