In women's bodybuilding and women's weighlifting (and powerlifting) Asian women have done extremely well. In women's Olympic type weightlifting, which for the first time will be an Olympic event for women, the Chinese team owns every record in every weight class. In powerlifting (benchpress etc), the Taiwanse women hold a number of records, including the best bench press: 392 pounds!! A 16 year old member of the Taiwanese team has benchpressed 291 pounds at 161 poubd bodyweight!. The best and most muscular female bodybuilder in the world is Paula Suzuki from Hawaii. A number of bodybuilding experts said she had the best muscular physique of any 132 pound bodybuilder in the world, man or women!!!
