Intensity [relative difficulty] Personal Record

Doctor Bravo:
She hits PRs again, and again. 

How does a woman who weighs less than 135 pounds and spends most of her time in a lab coat and goggles deadlift 206 pounds for two reps and rock out to Social D in her Batmobile?  I can only tell you about the former.  The latter might have to do with her upbringing in the gritty city of Columbus, Ohio.

Sumo deadlift 5,154lbs. in 4:57 for a Volume/Density PR at 32.25% work time in a 5 minute block for 5,154 pounds in only four sets [the volume is her total weight lifted, the density is the % of the TOTAL time spent working].
