On April fools day at the APF Gulf Coast Championships, April Mathis did not fool around and pounded a new World Record Squat and smashed through the 1700 pound mark in the total! Although Crystal Tate will go down in history as the first to cross over the 700 pound mark, April's lift is the first official 700 pound world record (Calibrated plates were used). She absolutely obliterated 705 with room to spare. She went on to bench press 440 and pulled 556 to re-establish her self as the current strongest female power lifter on earth. As of right now April Mathis has no equal!!! With her best lifts her highest aggregate is over 1,750 (795 kg/ 1,752 lb). She may become the first woman to crack the 800 kg and possibly the 1800 lb mark raw the next time around... April Mathis is the SHW queen.
