Is Zoe the only Brit in the women's comp? What happened to that Michaela, did she retire?

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:48

Get in Zoe. Nerves out of the way now go for a PB!

Excellent first lift Zoe

Bugger off, she looks nothing like Myleen Klass!!

I think she looks like she'd be a fun lass.

Great lift from her just there.

Bloody hell. That judge must need a change of undies now.

Morba · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:54

Think Zoe thought she was in my strongman comp, wanting to run with it

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:54

Disappointing not to get the British record but good attempt regardless.

ic1male · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:55

She's not in the right frame of mind. Too busy thinking about her next tweet.

It's weird watching women almost half my size who could easily lift me above their head

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jul 2012 at 13:05

That's huge. 13kg's hell of a lot for Zoe to make up without increasing her bodyweight.

Morba · 30 Jul 2012 at 13:05

Know what makes it more weird? One of the UK strongest Man (or similar standard comps) has a snatch event - 90kg for reps.
A lot of VERY big men will struggle with that when these 9st women are making it look easy!

Only B group as well! A group will be expected to lift more

just noticed zoe's on the limit with here weight, there was a documentary on bbc3 about the female lifters and on that she struggled to get down to weight so could be the same issue again. hopefully the next 4 years she will mature and her diet will settle down if that is the problem.

she's still doing well though for her age with nearly beating the british record role on 2016 for her to try and grab a medal.

She seemed to come across as quite half arsed compared to the other girls shown in the documentary, but seems to have the natural flair for it so fingers crossed as you said she'll mature and hopefully get into a better frame of mind to really show what she can do.

Just been confirmed. Starved herself to make weight and feels flat
