Varya Akulova, World's Strongest Girl! Is Her Strength LEGIT?

She's only 12 years old and they are claiming she's that strong. Somebody here PLEASE confirm if it's legit. Link below:

It's just unbelievable.

there has been many instances of coaches slipping steroids into young athletes drinks, or giving it to them upfront.. except calling it vitamans or harmless suppliment.

but who cares?

Seems a bit ridiculous. Who knows and who cares?

There do not seem to be any parameters to how and what she is lifting

You would need a guideline or to have a different person do the same
type of crazy lifts, to gauge how strong she really is



Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation

That's the ticket, if you look at her photo, I don't believe her bone structure would actually hold that kind of weight.

In some of those pictures it looks like she'd working out in Ronnie's Metro gym. Others, she's working out in front of a Circus trailer... hmm...

that website is retarded. one of her listed accomplishments is flipping her father? what the fuck is that? that doesn't require strength, grappling does not require one to be strong, just to know the technique and be able to use leverage to your advantage. i studied judo for about a year and i was like 14 y/o, but since i've always been a big boy (fat) they had to put me in the adult class cause they were afraid i would fuck the little kids up too bad. i would be playing with guys 2x my size and probably like 5x my strength but i would be flipping them all over the place cause martial arts is not about strength, rather speed and technique. i threw this one guy so bad once he didn't come in for like 3 weeks cause he said he could barely walk, his back was all fucked up after that, and this guy was like 6' 200+lbs. just one example of the stupidity.

seems like a load of BS to me...the the monkey dude said, they have no real set parameters to her accomlpishments.

One of her bench pics she is arching her back sooo much, it's crazy.

And she sumo deadlifts with no shoes.

Besides, she learnt to read at three so I believe it!

Why is it that the plates that are the size of 45s say '15' on them? Even if it were kilograms, it still wouldn't be 45. Does anyone know the unit they go by?

Why not? I work out in my basement so it's not like anyone minds. Besides, I don't want to be in uncomfortable shoes, and it only adds height meaning more distance to move the weight.

So just preference then?... That's cool. Wouldn't bother anyone anyway...

Thing is more height or distance as you say means more range of motion as well. Also shoes will take some pressure off your feet. Have you ever tried squat with the sissy pad? In all honesty I can squat more with that pad on the bar. Why? It relieves some pressure is my only guess but my legs sure don't know that! Try it with shoes just once and see if it makes any difference. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. Just a suggestion...
