Becki Barrett, 32, from Reading, England pulls a car with daughter Kayla and partner Adam inside. Meet the mom who makes tough household chores look like light work. Becki Barrett is only 1.52 meters tall but doesn't break a sweat as she lifts her 38-kilo sofa with one arm to vacuum underneath. She doesn't even have to ask her 6-year-old daughter, Kayla, who adds an extra 19 kilos to the weight, to move out of the way. During her weekly shopping trip, she singlehandedly carries all the bags as well as Kayla with ease and manages the ironing with her daughter under one arm. But Becki isn't your average mom, as when she is not looking after Kayla or at work she's spending time on her favorite hobby - weightlifting. She can dead lift weights up to 133.3 kilos and also raise a 50.8-kilo barbell above her head. She is so strong she can carry her 88.9-kilo boyfriend, Adam Hales, 34 and pull the family's Volkswagen Polo - with both Adam, a council enforcement officer, and Kayla inside. Becki is to take part in the final of England's Strongwoman Championships later this month, after qualifying in April, and is the only mom to compete in her class - under 63 kilos.[Photo/CFP] |
