Guys didn't mean to start a health debate. Due to child privacy I cannot post pictures. But a few things.
1. Yes she is overweight(as probably most of us on CA)
2. I do not want to debate genetics and socioeconomic background of some of these heavier girls.
3. At least they are trying to do something healty.
4. Like the cigars we smoke and the drinks we have with them are good for us.( I said we so I am including me)
5. The heavier girl is an athlete on her schools basketball team( starting foward 5'11).
6. The point I was trying to make. With out testosterone in her body a 275lb bench is incredible she tried 290 and missed it. At my high school there is 6 boys that can bench over 275. The rookie linebacker from USC only benched 225 6x's last yr. And I would be willing to say 50% of the men in America cannot bench 275 and clean and jerk 235. And then the lighter girls doing a 1 and 1/2 times body weight in c&j is incredible.

The bashing these girls just took is part of the reason a lot of kids don't get involved. Encouragement gets a lot better results with kids then constantly harping on their negatives.
