On one hand, it sounds ridiculous to the informed, but on the other hand, the strongest women are also the biggest women. As with men, the strongest lifters get the most publicity, so it’s natural for the average gal to see the bigger gals lifting. What they don’t see are all of the other weight classes lifting either, and these girls are usually in great aesthetic shape (like the gals here).

They're very inspiring pics. And it proves that there are women who lift for the sport and not for some weird body dismorphia. These women are my heroes. I'm working toward that 400+ deadlift :) <em>I need to get a hold of some more women lifters. Perhaps this will be the call to arms? --Justin</em> I’m really glad you put these up here.

I need to get a hold of some more women lifters. Perhaps this will be the call to arms?

How long do you think it took them to be able to lift like this? Looking at the pictures I would have to say Vicky is my favorite. She seems to have that chill kind of attitude. Then Wanda. She has badass written all over her. Thanks for posting these. These women are awesome and very inspiring.
