How can a woman bench 465 pounds?????
My max is only 165, and high school football players tend to be in the 300s and 400s. BTW, she has since increased her bench to 501 pounds. I hope its steroids and im not just that weak compared to this woman.

She co-owns a gym here in Omaha:

One of my co-workers trains there, and by all accounts she is a sweet, nice lady who is ridiculously strong. Draw your own conclusions.

Looks like they have a new web page....
*Waves*
sweet or not, she still juices. No way she doesnt juice. APF doesnt test anyway.
Seriously, how in the world can you say she doesnt juice:

Not sure if that is a rhetorical question, or if you are asking me.
I never said she was clean (or not). Draw your own conclusions.

I would say I'm in awe of a woman benching 501 pounds, but I'm pretty much in awe of anyone benching 501 pounds. Holy crap.
Top guys bench over 800 pounds, to put it in perspective. We are talking about the best of the best. Just 15 years ago, the strongest woman benched 385 and looks like Britney Spears compared to this monster.
I did a rep of 150 once.
Okay, here you can download videos of her(takes a bit for video to show up in window, but once it does, right click to Save Video) benching 501, squatting 804, and deadlifting 670.
Here is why I think she may be unclean. In the Olympics, these monstrosities rarely compete. She competes in leagues with zero to very little drug testing, like APL, WPL, and Strongman competitions. I think that they would be busted and if they really wanted glory, they as in both the men and women, they would go for Olympic glory.Because of the serious testing in the Olympics, you are likely to see none of these male and female monstrosities compete.

What do you think though Al? I think that more likely than not she uses.
We know that creatine use is rampant, but isnt considered a steroid and is thus legal. However, creatine behaves like a steroid.
She is a nice person thus she doesn't juice.

creatine....hahaha
who cares whether she does or doesn't. I am starting to think that the "I am jealous" part of this thread wasn't a joke.
I mean..come on man.

she is definitely juiced
triple plate here. I can bench 315. 225 X 12 with ease
A big benchpress transfers to nothing in the athletic world. Does a big bench transfer to speed? No! Body core and leg strength are much more vital than a big benchpress.
The NFL benchpress test is 225 pounds for as many reps. as you can. Even the NFL knows a big benchpress is about as useful as a white woman in BKK.
so, you think that any number of top athlete guys can easily bench more than this woman?
if they put in the effort and training that is
NO. creatine does not behave like a steroid. get your facts straihgt before you propogate complete bullshit on a message board.
