@poppy14 Damn.
I'm jealous.

@poppy14 Today I was mirin' some beardbro squatting 295 lbs (134 kg) with good form. After my workout I realized that he was lifting over twice my body weight, and that I would never be able to squat what he squat. feelsbatman.png

This video gives me a little hope.

Also, any idea what her body weight is?

 

[poppy14]

@dawn16 182lbs...right in the title lol

@poppy14 Damn really? How tall is she? I would never have pegged her for that much.

@christian6000 She's thick. Unlike a lot of women lifting that high, though, her bf% doesn't look too high. In other words: looking good; super stronk.

 

[christian6000]

@jesus4l1fe No doubt, but I still would never have pegged her at 182.

I think the arms and shoulders alone could account for the weight.

Not to mention this. Jeez, that's a wide stance.

 

[christian6000]

@jesus4l1fe Honestly, no. Neither of those say 182 to me.

It depends a lot on how tall she is. If she were 5'2", I'd guess low 130s based on that pic and those videos.

Obviously, I'm wrong and she's taller, but I'm wondering how much taller. 5'8"? 5'10"?

 

[jesus4l1fe]

@christian6000 Yeah, I don't know where she puts it. She might be in that weight class, rather than at that weight? I'll see if I can find anything.

EDIT: A year ago, she gave her bw as 170lbs. That's at least more believable.

@christian6000 You can't see from the video, but her legs are probably thicker than christmas hams and thats where most of her weight is.

 

[poppy14]

@lovebunny My guess would be around 5'5-5'6. In her other training videos she's pretty short and stocky.

 

[christian6000]

@lovebunny I noticed, but I still wouldn't have pegged her at 182.

 

[dawn16]

@poppy14 Derp. Thank you.

So that means she's only squatting... 2.75xBW.

Fuck.

Well, if she can do that, then I can at least work my way up to 1.5x. Little steps...

@poppy14 Super amazing, but I'd be curious to see what federation that is.

 

[csf]

@goneguy Her previous records were in the IPF. Click.

 

[goneguy]

@csf She was a junior too setting numbers like that... Fuck me...

 

[dawn16]

@poppy14 Was it just me or did her knees look like they were about to cave? I'm a noob, but that looked dangerous. Still super impressive.

@dawn16 Was it just me or did she have 225 fucking kilos on her back?

 

[dawn16]

@athanasiusm I wasn't trying to be rude, I don't know why you are.
