    I was just about to nominate Yo!!! She is absolutely amazing. Not sure what her lifts are at, but I can imagine they are up there.

    I am DEF not the strongest. Sara sounds like a dang beast. I am just learning to feel out my maxes. I was looking for leanness, now I am going for mass.
    Bench: 115 lbs
    Squat: 115 lbs
    Dead: 180 lbs
    OHP: 80 lbs
    Leg Press: 515 lbs
    Leg Ext: 180 lbs
    Back Ext: 190

    I don't generally go for 1RM, I am the drop set queen, hoggin all those dumbells ahahah, I adore failure, and I have the stamina of a mule...I may not be the fastest or the strongest, but I never give up or stop :PPPP

    I have to say Sara with her 325lb deadlift.

    Others I'd put up too would be Yoovie, Mirey, Lora, nz_deevaa, BeachGinger, Otterluv, Crankstr and Tameko.

    When I think of Sara and reflect on her lifts.... I have images of grown men being lifted over her head, Brought smoothly off the floor to her thigh level, Perched on her shoulders while squatting. Then in a strange plot twist when my imagination takes over she sometimes twirls them over her head and other times hold them by the feet while spinning them around and throwing them like a discus. For these reasons and because I have yet to see someone on here who can do all the lifts to the weight of a grown man I'd date, while simultaneously maintaining a figure I'd like to have while getting those dates. Sara is my choice. The same Sara being referred to here by everyone.

    I wish I could justify being in this class of lifters. My Wilks score is only 260.something. But I'm trying to get those stats up!

    i'm feeling painfully unimpressive after looking at the stats of other ladies here...but here goes:

    bp: 105
    squat- 185
    DL- 215
    OHP- 80

    weighed about 135 when I tested these in January. I have gained weight since then :( Life got in the way of lifting.

    But actually still can lift the same weights :) Just weigh more now.

    here's my favorite pic of me lifting- the boot knife rules:

    482670_4702551331999_665726187_n.jpg

    this is me DLing 210

    542258_4398142841977_566877520_n.jpg


    here's a video of my 215 DL

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETsbeKUfZyI&feature=youtu.be

    ETA: I been pretty consistently dealing with a re-occurring shoulder injury for the past year so I think my bench and OHP could have been better by now if it weren't for that. injuries suck, people.

    Ohai guise!


    Thank you for all the votes :flowerforyou:


    Just a shout out to all the ladies everywhere who strength train, whether it be bodyweight lifts or powerlifting type lifts, or any other resistance type training.

    Remember that different people train for different goals and are at different stages in their lifting life. Just grabbing a few examples, while my lifts may be a touch higher than, for example Littleladylifter's, from a wilks perspective, she also does a lot of strongman stuff that is more endurance and quite frankly would kill me, plus she has a great physique. And other example, just above, is Lady_Bane who has a phenomenal physique and I would assume lifts in a way to achieve that, which is not necessarily pulling maxes. I am only using these two as examples and there are many more on this thread.

    I would also like to encourage all women to strength train, in a manner in which they enjoy. I started doing compound lifts for the first time about a year ago when approaching my 45th birthday and I think I am stronger and in better shape than any time in my life. But that is what *I* enjoy and I had the very confidence boosting realization that I am strong. You don't have to do strength based compound lifts - but lift something and find what *you* enjoy.


    [And yes Chris, I know...I need to get my butt to a meet:tongue: ]



    OK, off my soapbox now...carry one.

    I think you hit on some very good points. The question was who is the strongest woman on MFP and the first name that popped in to my mind was Yo_Lazarov and I still stand by her as a solid nomination but then I realized. She is a body builder. She focuses her goals around achieving a specific look and not around lifting a specific number. It is entirely conceivable that a women could life more than Yo_Lazarov and look completely different because her goals would be centered around just lifting more.

    In the end I think it is impressive when anyone is able to stick with the discipline required to lift heavy weight. I am not a women so I am supposed to have more upper torso strength naturally and there isn't really much of a negative stigma that I have to ignore either and I still find it challenging to stick with it.

    I agree that all women should get in to some sort of lifting and/or strength training. I am going to be in the gym and it is a good motivator for me. (Totally not in a creepy way)
