7. Naomi Kutin
13 year old Naomi Kutin is another record setting female weight lifter who shows that girls can be just as strong as the boys. At just 10 years old, she managed to squat 215 lbs-more than twice her body weight, breaking a record previously held by someone four times older. Two years later, in 2013, Naomi caught everyone’s attention when she managed to squat 231 lbs and deadlift 249 lbs. Both attempts broke records and demonstrated why friends and family call her ‘Supergirl’.
8. Varvara Akulova
The daughter of circus performers, ukrainian Varvara Akulova has been listed in the guinness book of world records and is often referred to as the strongest girl in the world. At just 4 years old she started lifting weights. By 10, she set a guinness record by lifting 220 lbs before smashing that four years later with a massive 660 lb. lift. Interestingly, Varvara doesn’t have the visible muscle mass you’d expect to see in someone so powerful. Experts believe she possesses special genetics, passed on from relatives who also demonstrated exceptional strength.
