Yes, yes I know powerlifting is not a beauty contest but if it was chances are Kara Bohigan might just win it hands down:
Beauty aside, the 5ft 2″ Kara is one of the best all time female powerlifters. She benches 450lbs [watch a 400lb bench below], squats 600lbs and deadlifts 500lbs.
She says she trains as an Olympic lifter which involves completely raw, rock bottom front and back squats, power clean & jerks, snatches, clean pulls and snatch high pulls. According to powerliftingwatch.com, she holds the third highest female bench press of all time, regardless of weight class. It trails only Beccas Swanson’s 530 as a superheavyweight and Svetlana Dedulia-Miklasevich’s 462 as a 181.
