Meet Rory van Ulft, a 7-year-old girl who can lift weights of 80 kg

“You are amazing girly!” expressed an individual.

The Internet is filled with all sorts of stories. Some may make you cry, some may make you giggle and some may make you say “But, how?” The story of 7-year-old Rory van Ulft belongs to the last category. It’s one of those stories that will leave you amused and surprised, all at the same time. This little girl has created a buzz by lifting weights of 80 kg.

She began training just after her fifth birthday, reports LadBible. The young one has also bagged several awards.

She has an Instagram account, managed by her parents, where the videos of her incredible feat are shared. Take a look at one such clip and prepare to get stunned.

Here’s another video of “refining the split jerk that’s made her the youngest ever #usaweightlifting youth national champion.”

“I like getting stronger. Being stronger lets me do more and get better at everything I try. I don’t think about what came before, or what will come after. I don’t think about anything. I just clear my mind and do it,” she told LadBible.

“Based on her current Sinclair total, Rory is not only the strongest seven-year-old in the world. She is likely also the strongest seven-year-old girl or boy who has ever lived, for whom there are verifiable competition results,” Rory’s dad told LadBible.

While commenting on her videos, people shared much-deserved praiseful comments.

“She’s so strong and technical, way to go girl,” praised an Instagram user. “You are amazing girly!” expressed another. An individual inquired about a tattoo visible on Rory’s arm. “Is that a real tattoo,” they asked. To which the original posted replied, “The tattoos are temporary, from @brat_tats—very realistic!”

What do you think of this amazing girl?

Tattoos? Maybe they are henna tattoos that wash off.
I think this child will enjoy great success as a novelty for a while. Seven or eight years from now, she may have second thoughts about it. A lot of her friends will be thinking about finding a date. Maybe it won’t matter.

Future Olympian, if her back and knees hold out.

80 kilograms (on the Earth’s surface) = 176 lbs. Kilograms are a measurement of mass rather than weight, besides.

Those back and knees will be shot by the time she’s 35. That will make you old fast.

A child wgo is not grown has still forming and growing joints (elbows, wrists,knees, ankles, wrists) which should not be subjected to unusual strain.

Indeed, she is putting too much pressure on her growth plates. It may in fact stunt her growth and deform her joints.

She won't be troubled by any guys trying to get more than she's willing to give.

Have to think twice about asking for a handjob; sounds risky.

This may all be from the child’s choice and enthusiasm,
but I suspect one of her parents is reliving their childhood vicariously.This is the way they would like to have grown up, had circumstances been different.
Good luck to her. At least she’s not staring at a phone all day.

She will probably end up with a computer nerd that doesn’t have a lot of muscles

Lifting too much too young may damage her body.

I am a fitness trainer and I can tell you this is going to hurt her sooner rather than later. Awful.
