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

[SuperFlex]

The added ROM is pretty insignificant in this case (so is the added distance, one might argue), so I really don't consider that an issue. I've used padding on the bar before, but once I found the right spot for the bar on my back, I haven't had to use it at all. I don't feel much pressure on my feet anyways (strangely large feet; large surface area; less pressure).

Hey whatever floats your boat... Good luck! Your stats look pretty good for your age.

i workout barefoot too, i love it

The weights are rubber so if they drop they don't make much noise and stuff, I need some for deadlifting.

I also do this, its because without shoes you can generate force through the ground better than without shoes, shoes aren't completely flat so pressure is exerted inconsistently. I feel that without shoes I get a far better workout from squats and deads.

What he said.

I hope you all drop a weight on your toes! j/p fellas... Like I said whatever floats your weird and unusual boats...

Look at the inside plate where the cuts in the photo are ... looks altered a lil.

Maybe she learnt dat in skool 2

Her bones would be crushed at the weight she claims ... IMHO.

I do all my workouts without shoes also, I tried shoes but they mess with my balance.

 

[mr_oo3]

Yeah same. Just pointing it out.

Was this thread titled Kentucy rednecks or what? Do you all share a bed with your momma(s) too?

 

[Squaggleboggin]

Yes. Don't you?
