Amber Strongborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Deadlifts and Powerlifters, Swoleesi of the Convoy Strength, Breaker of PR's, and Mother of Dra-GAINS.
Oh hi there... Nice to meet you, my name is Amber
Or for the majority of people know me as "Swoleesi"... aka the buff version of Khaleesi. You know that blonde girl who has 3 dragons from that one HBO show?
Yep. People would stop me in the middle of the street to tell me I that I looked like her.. and I decided to own it. Thats when "Swoleesi, Mother of Dra-Gains" came to life. I combined the bad ass mid-evil show with LIFTING. My Iron Throne will be made out of calibrated kilo plates and deadlift bars of my enimies. JK.
I'm an 56kg (126 # for you non-kilo readers) International Elite Powerlifter in the USPA and IPL, I have also competed in USAPL as well. For everyone asking "how much can you lift?" My best numbers are SQUAT: 291 #, BENCH: 181 #, DEADLIFT: 407 #.
Now, I wouldn't consider myself naturally strong. In fact when I first started lifting, I could only do 80# for squats... on a smith machine... for 2 reps.... I wasn't strong, but I was competitive. I played tons of sports in high school, including track, basketball, soccer, and volleyball. They helped carry me into powerlifting.I knew lifting would give me the best copition ever: myself.
