Tina’s Show of Young Strength

A young girl shows unbelievable power in a gym 


The all night gym in Traverse City, Michigan was a very sweaty, smelly place,
full of huge muscular and powerful men, flexing and lifting obscene amounts of
weights in rhythm. It was a gym that was like any other gym all over the
country, except in one area, all the men were super huge and unbelievably
powerful. The average height and weight of the men were 7’8" tall and 850
pounds and the average muscle size was unbelievably huge, 45 inches for the
biceps, 64 inch thighs, 80 inch chest, and 42 inch calves were the numbers of
most of the gym members. The absolute power of each and every member could be
found on every weight machine and every bench station as the men worked out
with weights that blew away any 5 power lifters combined. Weights as big as
station wagons did not even force the smallest of these huge men to strain one
iota. Basically these guys could lift multiple tons at a time without much
problem and that fact itself said to them that they were invincible. How wrong
they were on this fateful day.

Tina Williams, an 8 year old prodigy that has competed in multiple sports
since she started walking at one year old, had recently taken up bodybuilding
as her newest challenge. She had conquered every sport that had been
introduced to her, from ballet dancing to football, and had been almost
perfect at everything she has ever done. Not only that, but because of her
athletic career, she was naturally powerful, almost unnaturally powerful, if
you know what I mean. She had taken out boys at least three times her size
with ease when playing tackle football with them, she had hurt many linemen
and tacklers with her crazy strength, even though she weighed 70 pounds and
many of them weighed over 200 pounds. She had often fought two lineman at a
time, because she was the most feared player on the field in all her games,
and had often pushed them both back with ease and so fast that the runner or
the quarterback was flattened within seconds. She stood over the quarterback
and flexed her muscles for the crowd, and although she had not worked out a
day in her life up to that point, her muscles showed size and definition that
rivaled the heavyweights at the Miss Olympia contest. When someone asked her,
"Do you work out and she said, ‘No, what’s working out?" The person who asked
her told her about weightlifting and bodybuilding, this idea intrigued her and
the next day she signed herself up at the local gym.

Tina’s first workout began with her getting in a pair of oversized sweats,
something to show that maybe she didn’t know what she was doing but, she
certainly was willing to learn. She met her personal trainer, a 6’3 275 pound
bodybuilding pro named Marco, and asked if she could start with the heavy
weights right away. Marco, of course, did not know of the immense power that
this eight year old already possessed and even if he did, he wouldn't believe
that she could lift that much over her own bodyweight. So he decided to start
her off on the most basic of all exercises, the pushup. She already knew how
to do pushups, so she did 50 in short order and said "c'mon Marco, I wanted to
lift weights, now unless you want to get on my back for a second set, take me
to the weightroom." Marco couldn't believe what he was hearing, this eight
year old must have been joking, there is no way a 70 pound girl can do pushups
with someone 200 pounds heavier on her back, so he tested out this theory. He
said "well, just to test your strength limits, I would like to see if you
could perform pushups with me on your back." To this she said "okay, hop on."
She got down on the floor in pushup position, her already wide back was just
able to accommodate him. Without warning this 8 year old wonderkind began to
move up and down as if she were doing them with nothing on her back. She
completed another 50 reps and then did something that Marco would remember for
the rest of his life, she brought her left hand behind her and continued her
pushups one handed, with a 275 pound man on her back. After 25 reps she
switched arms and completed another 25 with her left hand. She was really
pumped from this and her formerly baggy sweats were starting to become very
tight, almost seam bursting. Marco saw this and gulped, knowing this 8 year
old was stronger and more muscular, even before lifting a weight in her life,
than he could ever hope to be, and he was a former powerlifting champ in the
heavyweight class.

Tina had no idea that she was this strong, but she always knew that she was
different. At 9 months she was saying her first word, at 11 months she was
walking, and at 18 months she could already run at speeds unknown to toddlers.
At 3 years old she started ballet and gymnastics and even at the start she
seemed a natural at both. At 5 she was performing moves that you would expect
only from the strongest male gymnasts in the world, even holding an iron cross
on the rings for 30 minutes at a time. She started playing football soon after
her 8th birthday and destroyed everyone, sometimes taking on three lineman,
which could hold her for a short time, but her speed and unbelievable strength
shook them off eventually and she usually either sacked the quarterback or
tackled the running back behind the line of scrimmage. She was already quite
muscular from gymnastics and dancing, so the next possible thing for her to do
was take on weightlifting, which she did like a fish to water.

Her first time in a weightroom was an unbelievable experience for Tina. Her
trainer knew her to be strong enough to start at weights that no woman had
ever lifted before, and few men could lift. He started her off on the bench
press and knowing that she had done one hand pushups with his weight on her,
decided to put twice his weight on a bar. The total was 550 pounds, which was
almost 8 times the weight of the person who was going to lift it. Tina got
instructions from Marco on how to lift the bar and laid down on the bench. Her
hands were just able to reach the bar from this position, but without warning
she lifted the barbell off the rack and brought it down to her chest. She held
it there for a while in order to look in Marco's eyes and ask when she should
press it. He said "you should press it right after it touches your chest." She
said "oh, okay, I was waiting for you to say it, but now I get it." With that
she lifted it easily, with no signs of strain on her face at all. He said, "do
as many reps as you feel confident with." So she just kept doing it, 20, 30,
40, and she finally stopped when she reached 50 reps.

She was not even breathing hard, and Marco upon seeing this awesome display of
pre-teen strength, had his mouth open wide enough to fly a plane through. He
recovered enough to say "that was too easy for you, I never though I would see
someone who could overpower me so easily, much less an 8 year old girl, but
you blow me away without effort." He thought a while and said "you know, I
think I know of a place where you can explore your true strength, because I
could tell you could have done 200 reps as easy as you did 50 with that weight
and you were holding back a little for me, weren't you." She nodded and he
said "lets test your power a little more, I am going to fill the barbell with
weights completely and we can test your ability to hang with the real big boys
over at the all night gym." Tina nodded again, and smiled, she had heard of
the all night gym and knew it was very exclusive, only the biggest and
strongest of the men on the planet could workout there. She was proud that her
trainer thought she was powerful enough to workout there. Then Marco said
"okay, the weight on this bar is about 950 pounds, the weights at the all
night gym are alot bigger than this, but if you can do this weight with ease,
you should be able to make it there." Tina got under the bar with a little
trepidation, it was 400 pounds more than she had just done, but she had
benched that weight almost effortlessly, so she had confidence in herself. She
said "okay, let's do it." She picked the bar up and brought it down to her
chest and with some effort brought it up again, she repeated this and every
time she did it became easier. Again she did fifty reps, although this time it
took quite a bit more effort. She saw Marco smile and then he said "I think
you are ready for the all night gym, Tina, do me proud." Tina smiled and
nodded, but then she was sad, she was going to miss Marco, but he would always
be with her in spirit. Now, all she had to do was find out where the all night
gym was. To be continued....
