Laura Horvath. How she has less than 40 subscribers and isn't really discussed despite winning the CrossFit games this year is beyond me.
And I feel you about Olympic Weightlifters. Bodybuilders and powerlifters are very impressive, but in Weightlifting you not only need strength but perfect technique and exceptional mobility. Ask your average powerlifter or bodybuilder to show you their front rack and you'll immediately see the level of mobility that weightlifters have.

Amen. I immediately subscribed to this amazing woman. You're spot on in terms of just how physically demanding weightlifting is. Deadlifting and bench-pressing are in one league, snatching or clean-and-jerking (aka throwing a barbell OVER YOUR HEAD) are in another.
yea indeed fbbs try to look as pretty as possible but these weightlifters look incredible and their strength is out of this world. but their dress is usually more modest than fbbs too so its hard to compete with them for attention in the olden days weightlifters were usually the only women with this level of power you would see on tv. and i think even now more women attempt to become powerlifters than bodybuilders so you are more likely to meet them irl .especially in certain countries that don't have a lot of fbbs
Loredana Toma. Here she is squatting heavy:
She's also ripped:
Great choice, she’s achieved some amazing totals at international competitions 💪
Hi!
It’s maybe just me, but I find that weightlifters are really underrated on this website. My 2 favorites are Lydia Valentin (Spain) and Sibel Simsek (Turkey). I’d like to see your favorites. To be clear, I’m looking for Olympic-style weightlifters (snatch + clean and jerk), which is not to be confused with powerlifting or bodybuilding.
