If you’re in European strength sports circles, you might have come across the name Seren Çabuk. She’s hard to miss, with a bench press that’s turned heads at major competitions and a backstory that starts in Karabük, Turkey, where she was born in 2002, and later moved to the Netherlands.
Who is Seren Cabuk?
Seren didn’t always have her sights on powerlifting, she started out in acro gymnastics. Way back in 2018, she teamed up with a few others and picked up a bronze medal at a placement event in North Brabant. That was at the Acro Academy facility, and, yes, that’s where her competitive streak started showing up long before barbell lifts entered the picture.
