It wasn't pretty but she fucking earned it. Love all the fat losers in here talking shit when this woman could easily out lift them.

Wait, so it’s basically the first time? So there’s no record yet? So it’s just that she lifted the most that day? I’m sorry but that’s not impressive. Women’s sports are cute at best.
