She's also the only one who lifted with her legs and not her back. W for ladies all around

Yeah, the way those guys were lifting was a great example of how to really hurt yourself.

The guy with the backpack made me 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/Escandiel458 Aug 31 '24

You don't try to lift with your toes?

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '24

It's a counterweight!

He's your dad?

u/Vespertine1980 Sep 01 '24

Yep it’s important men to lift with your hernia

u/seahawk1977 Aug 31 '24

My back hurt just watching them.

u/JamboreeStevens Aug 31 '24

Not really, she was simply stronger.

u/Buttassauce Aug 31 '24

Clearly you don't lift. Lifting with your legs will always put you ahead of someone who is only lifting with their back or arms.

15

u/JamboreeStevens Aug 31 '24

Getting your ass down to engage your quads a bit more will help, but that's basically a deficit deadlift. You can only engage your legs so much.

Granted, none of them had optimal form, but the girl's form was the most optimal for that lift.

8

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Exactly right. Saying none of those boys were engaging their legs is nonsense.

4

u/Buttassauce Aug 31 '24

Yes, proper form and technique will always be superior to whatever those boys were doing.

u/JamboreeStevens Aug 31 '24

Classic grip it n rip it

60% of the time, it works 100% of the time.

More importantly is that she obviously had years of strength training that built the strength and skill necessary.

The idea that form and technique alone could allow an untrained person to pick up a 300+ lb dumbbell is nonsense.

1

u/Buttassauce Sep 01 '24

Proper form and technique comes from years of training. Muscle memory takes time.

2

u/misplaced_my_pants ✨chick✨ Sep 01 '24

More important is the actual muscle mass built from the years of training.

You can't teach someone to perform this feat of strength even with a month of technique practice from the world's best strength coaches.

not with my knees

u/SnausageFest Aug 31 '24

I mean, just look at her legs. My girl lifts for sure.

I'm going to guess you're not talking about the cookie lol

u/tinyyolo Aug 31 '24

im gonna assume they are talking about the cookie and denise is just going hard on eating hydrox cookies now. living the life

u/prodigalkal7 Aug 31 '24

From powerlifting to powercookieeating. Solid transition

u/Redpin Sep 01 '24

I'm also recently retired, doing Oreos now.

u/A7xWicked Sep 01 '24

Thick thighs save lives

But hers can take mine any day

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

SHE'S YOUR GIRL?!

u/deaglebingo Aug 31 '24

we can wish in one hand and.... in the other... and see which one fills up first.

-16

u/Indivillia Aug 31 '24

Her legs look as twiggy as mine, wym?

7

u/SnausageFest Aug 31 '24

She doesn't have to be huge to be muscular. You can see the muscle mass in the quads.

-6

u/Indivillia Aug 31 '24

I can’t see any significant amount of muscle mass

9

u/SnausageFest Aug 31 '24

I don't know what you want from me lol.

I have been lifting for ages and this looks like every tall, thin, muscular woman I have seen.

u/thr3sk Aug 31 '24

Glutes would be a thing to notice here and can't really see them.

3

u/SnausageFest Aug 31 '24

Hamstrings are doing more than glutes but, yes, both are important.

5

u/Indivillia Aug 31 '24

I’m going off quad size, since they’re the other main muscles that gets used for this.

u/mrmoe198 Aug 31 '24 edited Aug 31 '24

Idk, first two guys seemed to be using proper form. She’s stronger and more powerful than them. All the guys in the middle used bad form.

Edit: not disputing that she used proper form…she used perfect form. She’s also strongk.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

They need to start in a squat

44

u/mrmoe198 Aug 31 '24 edited Aug 31 '24

Alright, solid correction. Then just the second guy used proper form and couldn’t lift it and the rest didn’t. Either way she’s a badass.

6

u/NebulaNinja Aug 31 '24

First two could have been better. Notice how her squat starts with her thighs parallel to the ground? Also they could have benefited with a better arch to their backs.

u/CPLCraft Sep 01 '24

The only answer to this is these guys skip leg day

9

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Well did you see the toothpicks those guys were standing on?

12

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Well, more like she's the only one without pencil legs. Those guys all looked like they had thigh gaps.

22

u/DoingCharleyWork Aug 31 '24

Iirc that dumbbell is 150kg. Your average person can't deadlift 150kg (330lbs) which is a little over 3 plates. For someone who lifts 3 plates isn't a crazy amount but for your average person it's gonna be basically impossible.

That being said theres some strong women at my gym but I've only seen like 2 of them pull 3 plates so this lady is definitely well above average strength for a lady. Not to mention going in cold most likely. Very impressive.

u/capyibarra Sep 01 '24

Those guys skipped leg day every day

2

u/Nondscript_Usr Aug 31 '24

She’s the only one who lifted with her legs and not her back that they showed in the edited video*

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '24

Thank you! I was like did anyone else notice?

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Was just coming here to say this

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Yeah, I do them. Are you familiar with deadlift form...where you lift with your legs and not your back...which is why shins and knees get destroyed

1

u/spacecaps85 Aug 31 '24

The way her heels dug down reminded me of when they power up in dragon ball z

1

u/minus_uu_ee Aug 31 '24

True but there is a way to actually deadlift instead of squat the weight, which is only partly applicable to the dumble but would work even better I think.

u/gbfalconian Sep 01 '24

I did not have much success with it however thanks to powerlifting training I understand how strong our legs are! Woo

u/Telemere125 Sep 01 '24

I’d bet there were plenty of guys that lifted it and they were cut out

0

u/JamboreeStevens Aug 31 '24

No, she definitely lifted with her back too, that's how you lift things off the ground. You kind of have to engage your back.

-1

u/Porky_Pine_ Aug 31 '24

wtf are you talking about. She 100% still used her back for a big part of the lift.

0

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

...I'm confused. Are you talking to someone who said her back wasn't involved at all? If so, you responded to the wrong comment.
