For real??

I just read this page and I just can't believe that, at 5'6"/132lbs., she is that strong. How is that possible. Guess I have just met human women who struggle to get the bar off their chest. I can see some super juiced up 200lb.+ woman, whos face looks like a caveman, but I just can't picture this woman doing that kind of weight.

That is some unbelievable upper body strength for a woman.

That's crazy. She is probably on steroids but still a woman that small that is out benching me is something I'd like to see in person. Maybe she could help me with my form.

Female muscle is every bit as strong as male muscle. They just have a harder time making the stuff.

If you look at weight classes in the olympic lifts there's a very high degree of similarity in what's lifted. I think that's one of the reasons why they don't have exactly the same weight classes between the genders.

That's an awesome total at that weight for anybody, male or female.

When I hear stuff like this I'm always reminded that scientists estimate an adult male gorilla can bench press around 3500-4000lbs (if you could get him to do it).

Even if she does juice, she is still only 132lbs, though she looks heavier in those photos.

Edit, just noticed that she is wearing an INZER shirt for lifting. Not a big deal, but probably adds a noticable amount to her no shirt bench.
