10 year old Naomi Kutin practicing for RUM, squatting 205 X 2

Squats 205 for two - just missed the third. 205 is the all-time American record in the 97 lb women's class, held by Naomi. The world record is 209, set in by a 44 year old woman in Germany. Naomi is getting ready to challenge that in January!

Why did you not show the third rep attempt?

[powerlifter62]

I had to help her with it. She didn't want people to see her miss. I thought it was OK, but she didn't, so we cut the video after rep 2.

squat rack man or else she is gonna get hurt

[powerlifter62]

We have a pretty good rack and pins setup. And I spot her very closely. She's fine.

Good luck trying to walk when you're 4 years older.

And I myself, cannot do what Naomi is doing !!

[Wig4]

I am fond of anyone smaller then me, who proves beeing MUCH stronger then me ! With "super-kids", this is even more amasing. Noami already could squat far more then I weigh, at age 9 ;-) ... (I weigh 163 lbs) , so, I feel light again, thinking about that ;-)

In the year 2012, the world would collapse, remember ? ;-) ;-)

You might be right as Naomi is not wearing a lifting belt, especially at a young age.

[bob samders]

By age 11 her back is done

[jbams911]

yea I dunno about this...no belt? and she's leaning so far forward, i can't imagine that being good for her back..good luck though

Another squat/good morning hybrid. Great.

[batmannu]

Thanks for the reply. More parents should encourage their children to take up weight training, power lifting, or Olympic lifting. Kudos!
