Abbey Watson is only 13 years old and has probably made a bigger impact on the world than we ever will. At least on paper. Watson just finished up at the Powerlifting Federation national competition in Oklahoma City and set an astonishing 28 records, including eight world records. Eight world records, and she's only been lifting for three years. Her tiny frame can squat 143.3 pounds and can dead lift 176 pounds. The impressive records can be attributed to working out at a crossfit gym three days a week at 5:30 a.m. before school and eating her favorite food: Bacon. It's safe to say our new workout plan starts tomorrow.
