So she's blonde, petite and a bit gorgeous right? You've obviously not seen Brit powerlifter Emmy Louise deadlifting 330lbs then! :

So she's blonde, petite and a bit gorgeous right? You've obviously not seen Brit powerlifter Emmy Louise deadlifting 330lbs then!

Some women blub at chick flicks, others cry at weddings, but champion powerlifter Emmy Louise burst into tears after nailing a 150kg (330lb) deadlift in competition!

The 52kg (120lbs), pocket powerhouse, who is British champion in three categories, was competing at the Raw Powerlifting League competition in February when she made the lift of her life.

She said: “I'd been striving for it and wanted it so bad.... and I got it! I cried my eyes out afterwards.”

And that's the thing with iron-pumping Emmy Louise, she constantly confounds expectations.

The 29-year-old Gravesend girl may only be 5ft in her bare feet, but don't let the diminutive stature fool you, when she hits the iron she turns on her beast mode.

Although she has been a gym-rat for six years she only turned to powerlifting a year ago and is already taking the sport by storm.

Her lifts include:

Squat:120kg (265lbs)

Bench: 70kg (154lbs)

Deadlift: 150kg (330lbs)

She said: “I like being able to do what others and the stereotype says I shouldn't.

“I found out I was naturally good and strong at the three powerlifting disciplines without formal training so then took it further with proper training and advice.

“I love breaking the mould - you don't have to be big to lift big!”.



Emmy Louise is competing in the NEC Bodypower on May 17-19 then the European Championships in Portugal on June 02 then at the World Championships in Prague on October 26 in Prague.

We at FemaleBodybuilders24.com wish Emmy Louise the very best of luck – but we have a feeling this petite powerhouse ain't going to need it!
