If you think your weight lifting skills are pretty good then you have to check out this female weightlifter from the US.
Holley Mangold is a super heavyweight weightlifter from Ohio. She’s the sister of New York Jets centre Nick Mangold and also the only woman that we’ve ever seen who could lift 135 pounds over her head with only one arm. So she’s doing quite well for herself.
In fairness to Holley she had a pretty crappy summer after a weightlifting injury saw her tearing a tendon in her right wrist just before the London Olympics. However, like a true fighter, Holley fought right through the pain to come 10th out of 14 in London.
Well, here’s Holley training with just her left arm and what looks to be 135 pounds of weight, or 61 kg. It doesn’t seem like much for a 350-pound weightlifter, but Holley manages to snatch the bar with perfect precision and with just one arm.
We wouldn’t advise trying this out at the gym.
