Rounding out our day of strong women, this Barbie Barbell video of her deadlifting 282 pounds. Earlier we featured Barbie’s world record bench press which she performed at age 17 16 and a body weight of 112 pounds.

This is one strong woman.

Amanda Harris, also known as Barbie Barbell is see here setting her world record bench press. She pressed 187.6 pounds at a body weight of 112 pounds and being 17 years of age. I’m pretty sure those are the numbers for her age and weight. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Barbie Barbell is one strong woman. She’s an inspiration to girls all around the world as well as parents. Makes you want to spend more time on yourself, getting into shape, eating better and having your kids follow in your footsteps doesn’t it?

Even it the sport is not your type of thing, the dedication to her discipline, bench press, deadlifts and squats should leave you inspired. Where other kids are perfecting their wii, Barbie is moving weight around.

We’ve seen strong women doing pushups, we’ve seen strong women climbing rope at Bondi beach and we’ve seen a strong mother and daughter workout routine. Earlier in the day we saw a strong young woman doing beach pullups and now it’s my pleasure to bring you two strong women doing pullups at their crossfit location.

These women are featured in a number of crossfit workouts of the day but in this example, they’re just doing pullups.

Pullups, Pushups and squats are the primary bodyweight weight training exercises and have long been the way to measure strength. My dad had a pullup bar installed in our basement when I was growing up, but to be honest, I never saw him doing any. Maybe it was mom who was doing them?

This has got to be the best video I’ve seen of pushups. These strong women (and a couple of guys) do some things with pushups that inspire me to train harder. I’m not sure if this was shot in one single day, but you can tell from her exhaustion at one point, that she’d done enough.
