Very impressive

I'll stick to 2 x

2 times is really good

I've made it to 2.5 times but this is seriously impressive. Very wide stance though isn't it? Obviously it works for her!

I can understand developing muscles capable of the lift; but, what must that load do to the joints? Especially so when lifting weights above the head. I can't help but think long term damage must occur.

I deadlifted 110kg on the hex bar yesterday, which is 1 X bodyweight for me.

Feel quite underwhelmed now lol.

Did manage 7 reps if that counts for anything.

She's a beast

Not taking anything away from her but she has great leverage being that short, I can do 1.5x body weight and would like to get to 2x but the risk of injury is high (at my age)

110kg for 7reps isnt bad going.

Sumo stance. Gives you potentially up to 10% more capability and wider hips/lower stature are an advantage.

Think I could have done more by fingers started to hurt at that point.

However, yesterday I managed a 80kg bench press, 5 sets of 5 reps. I did struggle a little on set 4 and 5.

Anyway I hope to hit 150kg deadlift on the hex bar soon!

Yup I didn't realise Sumo stance was good for very heavy weights but I see how with a certain body shape it could provide extra leverage and certainly the bar moves less distance giving the impression of increased strength, bit like the decline bench press.
