Anyone consider the strength of HS powerlifters?

Hi there,

I just had an interesting thought and wondered how many others have also shared it. I am amazed at how strong highschool powerlifters are. Here's what i noticed today, i looked on the bodyspace website and noticed this one guys profile. He had a 1RM deadlift of 365lbs which is good by any ones standards. He was a big built 200lb man who had muscles and then some. So then i saw a video clip of this petite looking 115lb HS girl on youtube deadlifting 355lbs and i thought how awesome it is that the fact she was so light and yet could lift 355lbs in the deadlift and the well built man weighed 85lbs heavier than her and only deadlifted 10lbs more

That is just one example. I have a friend from the US who is 18 and on facebook, Her PB deadlift is 418lbs and she weighs 190lbs and is around 5 foot 4!!

i constantly am amazed by these HS powerlifters Shocked)

yes, these high school girl powerlifters are fabulous.  so are some high school guys like Jordan Dunn.

For deadlifting, it helps to be short so you don't have to start in a bent-over position.  Of course, that doesn't take anything away from these beautiful and powerful girls.

Here is one of my favorites, Darilyn from Bodyspace with a deadlift of 352, She is bigger than your average fitness competitor but obviously not a fattie.

I think about how shockingly strong girls are in general haha, HS or not it's damn impressive the numbers some(well shit, seems like MANY actually) girls can put up nowadays.

It's of course one thing to see some FBB lifting a ton, or seeing some really thick, huge girl who is built for powerliftin moving mass amounts. But it's an entirely different thing when you see some petite girl, or some girl who by all accounts looks avg and completely typical, lifting more then you can, especially when you yourself area  strong dude haha. I serach youtube frequently for such footage, and there is quite a lot of it. Never fails to blow me away though.

Powerlifters in general blow me away. I see lots of dudes who don't look like they've ever picked up a weight in their lives, lifting HUGGGEEEE numbers. It's one of those things where you're just born with the physiological ability to do it, or you're not. I got up to 495 dead, squatting 375 for high reps, but I couldn't maintain that or go past it, I ended up having lots of aches/pains and injuries, can't go super heavy anymore unless I want to deal wit hthat again. Some people can do it without their bodies breaking down, some can't.

And of course the body size issue, that's what makes it amazing. I was a ripped 225 when I put those numbers up, theres chicks(and dudes) who lift that(or not far from it) who aren't more then 160 soakin wet.
