Yessica Martinez earned her elite title in 2011. Currently, she holds the APF Florida State and National Record in Junior and Open Women's Raw division with a 830.5-pound total. Trying to dominate the iron world, she is also a strongman competitor. As a raw powerlifter and strongman competitor, her ultimate goal is to watch the sport grow and know she contributed to that in some way. Best lifts to date are 358 squat, 187 bench, and 358 deadlift with a 903 total with wraps.

"To have incredibly experienced lifters compliment you-one of the best feelings in the world. I achieved my first powerlifting goal and that was to compete. Now, I’m going to work on an elite total! I’m definitely looking forward to stepping on that platform again." Congrats!
