Tomrorrow morning. Go to the gym. Get the bar (the olympic bar it's 20 kilo9s). If you feel confident put some weight on the bar (actually if you're not actively lifting don't put weight on it there's a high risk of injury if you do).

Try to clean and jerk it. Thn remember Korean woman is doing 110 kilos more, pretty scarry heh??

Cleaning is NOT easy. People misunderstand how strong the weightlifting women are, their legs are like trees, it doesnt show so much in their arms but belive me their legs are massive.

Bahahahahahaha. Given some of the women I see on the arms of the American military contractors in Itaewon pubs, I have to say there is enough Smile

22??? muahahaha

If Koreans do in fact have "special genes", then I swear some sort of special chemical is released at the age of 50 that causes the ajuma-ism. This also seems to cause testosterone to increase in females, so increased strength and a manlier voice as a result. Then the hair magically curls and an affinity towards bad fashion develops. If this is true, this poor girl had a genetic mutation and got ajuma disease during puberty instead of at 50.

Have you seen what some of the Korean athletes are now being paid for endorsement contracts? She can buy you a whole lot more than just soju.

On the upside you if you dated her you don't have to worry about her father not liking you. Her parents died when she was little and she was raised by her uncle.

She really is on 22. When I first saw her I commented to my wife that I was amazed an old korean woman was lifting.

I'm sure she can get dolled up like any girl and probably has a better ass than most Koreans from weightlifting.

When you step onto the weightlifting platform after a life's hard work to give it your one shot at the Olympics, the last thing on your mind is your looks.

I'd look her up, but my second favorite sport is Olympic lifting.

She was in Chiang Mai last year as well. Note that when you're lifting the most weight you've ever lifted, over your head, you're not worried about cute facial expressions:
