Karenjeet Kaur Bains has shattered ceilings both in the weight room and in the record books. A proud representative of Great Britain, Karenjeet set the world record for the most times to squat lift her own bodyweight in one minute (female), completing an incredible 42 repetitions. The World Records Authority officially recognises this outstanding achievement in strength and endurance.

A pioneer in her sport, Karenjeet is the first Sikh female to represent Great Britain in powerlifting — a distinction that carries enormous cultural and sporting significance. Despite balancing a demanding career as a Business Planning and Finance Manager, she commits to a rigorous six-day-a-week training schedule that has taken her to the absolute pinnacle of her discipline.

Through her world record, Karenjeet hopes to empower more women from diverse backgrounds to embrace powerlifting and make their mark in the world of sports. The World Records Authority proudly includes this remarkable achievement in the WRA annals of record-breakers, honouring both the athletic feat and the trailblazing spirit behind it.
