I think Michaela Aycock certainly has a few.
She's like 5' flat and weighs usually between 135-145 or something like that.
This clip in particular, while now 5 years old, turned some heads as she did 111 reps of 135lb squat, at 137 bodyweight. I think a lot of pros commented on how they would not attempt that many reps with their bodyweight on the bar.
Here's she is pressing 100s for reps, somewhere in the 130lb range, though this is more recent:
In this clip she's doing RDLs with 315:
An older clip of her pressing 70s:
Really just nutty stuff
Yep, Michaela Aycock is another with ridiculous feats and I love that she always gives it 110%!
Some of those circus feats are absolutely nutty too. There was a girl in the early 1900s called Lillian Leitzel who is credited with having done 249 of those rotations consecutively and 27 consecutive one arm chinups on the rings. Although I'm somewhat sceptical about that claim...
Love the topic, one of my favorites! I apologize for the terrible video quality on some of these in advance. Some are bad webcams or old VHS tapes lol. Some are quite old, but I love the vintage stuff too.
A young Oana Hrepaca lifting a man overhead for FIVE almost-effortless reps
Two strongwomen compete to see who can lift the most men overhead and THROW them.
Strong girl bends 1 inch steel bar on her head.
Strongwoman Ygritte,bending a steel bar. 36”x1” x 1/4”
105 lb Melody bends a 3' x 1/4 steel bar

Pretty pro wrestler Beth Phoenix hoists a man over her head and holds him there for a while.
A 19-year old Joan Rhoades bends steel nails and iron bars (when she was still called Josie Terena)
Joan Rhoades bends a butter knife and a big iron bar in her infamous cabaret act
Another old film of Joan Rhodes cabaret strength act with iron bar bending
A few more... like I said this is one of my very favorite topics.
The old Two Trux acrobatic act, woman lifts man over her head.
22 year old girl does 10 push-ups with 71 KG man on her back
Maria Wattel bench presses a man for reps.
Something a little different, pretty Chinese girl carrying huge logs out of the forest.
This cradle carry scene may not be record breaking, but it's pretty exciting if you ask me.
Strong women vs. strong fish. LOL why not? Some pretty amazing arms in this video.
As a massive fan of women performing ridiculous fitness feats I thought it might be fun to create a thread to share the craziest feats you've seen!
I remember in one of the Women's Strength Extravaganzas there was a girl called Mary Ryan-Jeffrey who did 36 perfect form pullups.
Alex Puccio doing a 10 second front-lever is also up there, or maybe Alex Puccio doing one arm pullups with 20lb.
And of course Gillian Ward has many mind-boggling feats such as these pushups with 176lb added weight.
