Supergirl - Britain's Strongest Girl Can Lift 375 Pounds

Too much weight training at too early an age stunts growth, causes injury, and can negatively impact children's health in a number of other ways. I'm a soccer and swimming coach and eight hours a week is borderline as far as lifting weights goes. My players and swimmers are only doing 4 hours of weight training a week in the off-season, and none at all during the rest of the year.

I'm very skeptical about this story. There is no sign on her body that shows that she would be able to lift that kind of weight. The muscle definition in her legs and arms is absent....I just this photo to be untrue.

I was expecting to see a woman weighing at least 170lbs

Uh, those weights are made of styrofoam. I've been a powerlifter for many years and I have never seen weights like those. She should have 3-20kilo weights on a side along with a 10 and a 5 kilo. The stack, although impressive would be much thinner than what she has.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THIS IS TRUE!
the girl has noooo definition in her arms, and thats about 3x's her weight.
what a scam!!!!

it very well could be a faked picture, its kind of hard to smile and look "pretty" when you are lifting that kind of weight over your head. there is not a whole lot of definition in her arms from this angle, but her lower body looks ripped to me. those "styrofoam" weights as a few people have called them look more like dense rubber to me though, which is fairly heavy, kind of like a tire???

Jealous! I looked her up and she is legit. She's awesome. GO ZOE!!

this is a fake picture if ever I saw one. there is no sign of strain in her face or on her arms and there is no bend in the bar for having that much weight on either side. hope no one is crazy enough to fall for this crap.

This is a definite fake; the bar resistance is way under stressed for that anount of weight, and if you blow the picture up, there are no muscle twitches or neck strains at all. Even the strongest people in the world would have them. Furthermore, her form for being "at the top" is not physically set to stand that weight. I would bet my house that this picture is not real - I am not saying that she is a fake, only that this picture is a fake.

The article never said she could jerk or press 375lbs. . She could however dead lift that weight without much trouble. The picture looks like she has 5 kilo bumper plates on the inside edge and the rest look like regular bumper plates. I would like to see this picture zoomed out and see if the bar is resting on standards. Look at her wrists, that amount of weight would roll off the way she is holding it.

I HOPE THIS WRITER DOESN'T HAVE A DEGREE IN JOURNALISM BECAUSE SHE USES 'THEIR' INSTEAD OF 'THEY'RE'. I AGREE THIS PICTURE IS 'DOCTORED', NOT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT THOUGH.

"The artical says that she is capable of lifting 375 LBS. It doesn't say she is lifting that amount in that photo." It looks like she is lifting maybe her own body weight on a work out. More Power to her!

Anyone who thinks the photo of this kid lifting that weight is for real is entitled to buy a bridge I own in NYC. I call it the Brooklyn Bridge and it can be had for say $2500 cash or money order.

I think this weightlifting girl is a scam as she isnt straining...but someone told me that Highlights com was selling a kit to grow a plant that moves like an animal. The TickleMe Plant closes its leaves and lowers its branches when tickled. Well, I bought the kit and it is true it even has pink flowers

The girl probably IS legit. The photo probably ISN'T. Just because she isn't lifting 375lbs in this particular photo doesn't mean that she isn't capable. Maybe it just didn't make for an adorable picture like this one.

The original source stated she lifted 95 KG which converts to 210 pounds.
