Every mother is a strong mother, but Tamara Walcott is literally the strongest mother in the world. The American powerlifter holds various world records in the sport of powerlifting, and she breaks another one of her records just two days prior to International Women’s Day.

Tamara Walcott is a six-time deadlift champion and a mother of two children. Prior to 2018, she was obese and suffering from an eating disorder. However, she changed all that about her and instead became the strongest woman in the world.

Tamara Walcott is an inspiration for all

Life wasn’t always this great for Tamara. The strongest woman in the world and a mother of two children had gone through a lot. Before she started powerlifting, she weighed 415 pounds, had a divorce, and was suffering from obesity.

She said, “I had lost control of so much, so being in control of weight lifting felt empowering. At the time, my goal was to one day deadlift 315 pounds. I did not know that four years later I would lift more than double that and set a world record.”
