SOFIA
CERDAN BES

Sofia stands at 158 cm. Compact but powerful, her strength lies not just in her build, but in her mindset.

I started Streetlifting in 2023, after dislocating my elbow during a weightlifting competition. At first, I trained just to recover and stay active. But day by day, I fell in love with the sport the challenge, the control, the power behind every movement. What began as rehab quickly became my passion. That passion is what pushed me to step on the platform and chase something bigger.

Squat 100%. It’s my strongest movement and the one that represents pure power to me. It’s not just about numbers it’s about the mindset. Every rep reminds me that growth comes from going deep, standing back up, and doing it again, stronger

Standing on the podium at the European Championship and taking home a world record. I didn’t go there expecting anything I just wanted to give it my all. That day showed me how far I’d come from injury, and proved that with belief and work, you can go further than you ever thought possible.

A 170kg squat in training just one week before I injured my leg and had to miss the World Championship. That lift means a lot to me. Not just because of the weight, but because it reflects my journey, my consistency, and the strength I’ve built both mentally and physically.

Don’t compare your path to anyone else’s. Focus on your own progress, train smart, and learn to love the process, even on the tough days. Strength takes time. Be consistent, take care of your body, and trust the journey. That’s how you grow, not just as an athlete, but as a person.

What drives me is the curiosity to see how far I can go. Every training, every challenge, every small win adds up. I’m not just chasing numbers I’m building something bigger. Streetlifting gave me structure, purpose, and the fire to keep evolving.

I joined Team MPDS from the beginning haha, before the records, before anything big. I connected with the brand because it felt real. Being part of a team that shares the same passion and values pushes me every day. I’ve never felt like just an athlete here I’m part of a community that lifts each other up.
