A nine-year-old girl named Arshia Goswami from India has achieved a great milestone in her fitness journey, deadlifting three times more than her body weight. The youngster recently made a video of her lift and posted it on her Instagram, taking the internet by storm. 

That being said, the nine-year-old girl’s love for lifts is easily noticeable on her Instagram account, which is filled with similar videos. While Goswami holds an Asia record for her lifts, her attempt at lifting the immense weight saw her being featured on a bodybuilding page. Let us see how that turned out.

Arshia Goswami pushes beyond her limits 

Goswami was featured on the page “Generation Iron“. The youngster deadlifted 165 pounds, a pathbreaking lift. Praising the nine-year-old’s feat, the page captioned the post, “Arshia Goswami continues to reach new marks and has gained attention around the world following her latest triumph!” While she currently weighs around 55 pounds and lifts immense weights, this is not the first time she has gained media coverage. 

Back in 2021, she gained attention for the first time and deadlifted approximately 100 pounds when she was just six years old. Since then, she has been making waves in the fitness community by consistently improving and lifting heavy. Arshia’s interest in the gym developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, like many others. She trains with her father, who is a fitness freak and a gym owner.

When one looks at the video showcasing Goswami lifting 165 pounds, one can see how her form was perfect, leading to the lift looking like a piece of cake. She even did the lift with a conventional form instead of a sumo, a major feat in itself. Despite the efforts that Goswami seemed to have put in, many were not impressed by her performance and questioned and showed skepticism on the lift.

Is Arshia “seeking online clout“?

After coming across Generation Iron’s post, one follower accused the nine-year-old of going after online retention on her account and commented, “Hope she will train for medals instead of seeking online clout.” Another wondered if there were actual benefits of her lifting heavy, commenting, “Cmon man, what’s the point of having a 9 year old maxing.” An Instagram user commented on Arshia’s form while she was lifting and said, “Too much extension in back,neutral back is needed.”

A critic seemed to be confused about the weights and explained, “Don’t get the plates. (10kg+15kg)x2 + 20kg Bar= 70kg≈ 160 pound. What are these plates between.” Another critic made a funny remark on the natural status of the girl and wrote, “Natty status sus.” Among these comments, one follower commented on Arshia’s weight and said, “So she weights 55 pounds??? yea right that’s a big lie.”
