13-Year-Old Girl Becomes Powerlifting World-Record Holder
Abbey Watson holds eight world powerlifting records -- and she's still in middle school. By SAMANTHA GROSSMAN January 29, 2012 Powerlifters often go unnoticed, remaining in the shadows of their more recognized athletic counterparts. But lifter Abbey Watson, who at age 13 already holds eight world records, is strong-arming people into taking notice. The Colorado native recently returned from the Powerlifting Federation national competition in Oklahoma City with several achievements under her belt, including the word record for squats in her weight class, according to Denver’s NBC affiliate KUSA. She set the record by lifting 143.3 pounds — nearly 40 pounds more than her body weight. Three years ago, Watson’s father brought her along to a gym outside Denver, where she tried her hand at weight lifting. She enjoyed it so much that she returned for several more sessions, eventually attending workouts three days a week before school. “I am amazed. I am surprised she has latched on to it as much as she has,” Watson’s dad, Steve, told KUSA. “I was just hoping she would get into a good workout habit. I never thought she would compete.” Though it all started on a whim, Watson takes the sports very seriously and said she has come quite a long way since she started. “I remember once I lifted 125 pounds and I was blown away. But now it’s like, pfft, that’s light,” she said. Nowadays, the eight-grader dead lifts 176 pounds. “When I tell them how much I can lift,” Watson said, “most people say, ‘I’m not going to mess with you anymore.’” Already the holder of 28 world, national, and state records, Watson’s next goal is the Olympics.

Pretty cool: that is what I call a practical demonstration of White Power!
Stories like this are a good counterbalance to the false image force-fed the general public, that White people are inherently wimpy and athletically inferior to nig-nogs.

What I like is that she looks healthy and normal. Not like that young body building child I saw one time.

Bump.
The Russian 13-year old girl may claim she is the strongest, but American Abbey Watson holds the records.

I'm rather surprised to see how females and bodybuilding are more accepted. When I was a kid in the 80s, this kind of thing was shunned and considered unfeminine.
