Her name is April Mathis. Puts 95% of the guys at my gym to shame based on the totals.
The problem is, she looks like a man, and like her hair is faling out and she only 25 or someething:

- squat 615 lbs

- bench 410 lbs
I'm sorry, but she is a poor ambassador for the women's side of powerlifting and will never be marketable, despite her impressive totals.
you go for the big muscle ladies it seems. You've posted a few of these now.
nope, im just trying to assess my own strength...im lookin for excuses to why these women can lift so much more weight than me and most guys at my gym
it's pretty simple isn't it? 'cause she trains better
Wow, that's some funky female pattern baldness.
She's not as strong as Sprint Geezer.

but, at some point, testosterone has to be a factor.
i won't be surprised if she is a hermie or something along the lines of that lady sprinter segumeya or whatever her name is.
she blurs the lines between male and female significantly.
i guess you can be a freak of nature and just produce that much testosterone as a woman...but isn't testosterone produced in the largest amounts in the testicles...thus a posssible argument for a woman with undescended testes...or maybe she has just that many more androgen receptors than a typical female...

but what does that have to do with her being better than you?
Are there any elite runners that can seriously bench?
it doesn't matter. i can take comfort in the fact that im a natural man, and not somebody abusing steroids. that kind of pattern baldness definitely points to steroid use. she is only 24 yrs old.
i can bench 215lbs. i admit her totals are higher than nine. but for a woman she has to be abusing the "juice". the pattern baldness suggests it.
Wow- I didn't realize stuck with match.com's ex was so accomplished! She also much more attractive than I had originally envisioned.
I think all that crap lifting doesn't do much for her 10k.

If she's injecting a gram or two a week, yes, it's "a factor."
Why is anyone interested in this?
"Lady looks like A dOOOOd !!!"
Oh dear - I wish I hadn't looked at that.

Well this video is from a weight restricted class, which is stupid, no matter what sports.
It's like having a Clydesdale category for running, just reverse.
Or featherweight boxing. Lol.
well, the lady in the videos is still an athlete, who does very well in her sport of powerlifting. being a female athlete isn't necessarily about looking the best.
she dominates all other women in weightlifting, and even many males, an extraordinary accomplishment for a woman.
its just that the steroid use takes away from the purity of the sport. Anyway, her business opened this week. It is a catering business for people within a 5 mile radius of the business location. The objective: Pickup orders from local restaurants and deliver to people within a 5 mile radius: and charge for the delivery. I think its a dumb idea, but maybe she sees something in it.
