That's pretty freeking cool. Alwys nice to see or hear about ladies who push real weight.

I remember this lady at my gym who one day was doing multiple sets of 8-10 reps of dumbell curls with 30 lb weights. It was so cool cause there were these two guys who thought they were all cool till they saw a chick working with the same weight as them and doing more reps
