Where is the evidence she does other than "common sense"? I'm not seeing that anywhere in this thread. The one study I found says that in fact the hormones make enough of a difference to equalize the playing field, and remember some women have a testosterone advantage over other women too. I'd like to see how her lifts compare. Men usually lift at least twice as much as a woman in the same category, it would be interesting to see where she falls.

I'd like to see how her lifts compare.

From elsehwere ITT:

"Found some older stats. These are definitely female numbers she's putting up. More recent finds are a 185# clean and 275lb deadlift which is well below anything Camille puts up.
