Tamara Walcott is an icon for every person

Every mother is a strong mother, but Tamara Walcott is 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 before International Women’s Day.

When Tamara Walcott first started going to a weight lifting gym in 2017, her main goal was to gain control back over her life. After going through a divorce, Walcott, who worked full-time as a property manager, was even more committed to raising her two children – but she also needed to find time to take care of herself.

“I began going to the gym, bringing my kids with me three to four nights a week, Walcott said in December 2021. “Weight lifting was my therapy and helped me battle food addiction. I wanted to make sure my kids were taken care of, and that meant being healthy for them. To be a good mom I had to take care of myself. Knowing that freed me from any mom guilt I might have felt.”

Mom sets new world record by deadlifting 636 pounds l GMA

On March 6, 2022, she broke her previous deadlift record of 288.5-kilogram (636-pound) and set a new world record by lifting 291-kilograms (641 pounds) in Elephant Bar deadlift. She showcased this amazing feat at the Arnold Sports festivals (ASF) held in Columbus, Ohio.

“What a way to spend a day during Women’s History Month BREAKING RECORDS, raising the bar, inspiring the masses, [and] letting everyone know that if I CAN, SO CAN YOU. Especially my fellow women, ” Walcott stated on her Instagram account.

The powerlifting super mom and business owner now holds two deadlift records and continues to hold the world record for women’s heaviest deadlift.

Tamara is proof that if you set your mind to something you want, nothing in the world can stop you from achieving it.
