I have some 25# wts that i mount on the front of my large mower when i am packing leaves (fall & spring yard cleanups) when i saw that Sherry was curling 35#s, at arms length no less, I went out to my barn and tried curling one of those weights tight in to my body. NO WAY. Of course i am a couple of years past my prime lifting days, but I do know that there was probably never a time when i could have done even one rep at arms length. I have lifted heavy loads one and two handed, but for out in the world of working at heavy lifting, there are tricks to moving weights, and those tricks are mainly to get the weight into motion (I think Sherry's hubby, Dave knows about this) and to follow with your arms and body. Sherry is not using any tricks or whistles and mirrors. She is just plain old fashioned powering the load at arms length. by the time she has worked at it for a little while, i think we will be reading about her doing much heavier. I am not a gym rat, so i don't know what to expect, but i do understand that a woman with natural strength like Sherry can add a lot of power in a short time with steady workouts. BTW, let's not overlook that Dave did quite a few reps himself with the same methods. His wife is VERY strong, but he ain't no wimp either.
