Jessica Fostekew explores women's weightlifting and how strength can present in many different ways in a series of stand-up gigs, beginning with the Strongwoman competition. Jessica speaks to four-times Britain's Strongest Woman, Andrea Thompson and multiple world-record holder Mayyah Blair about strength, aesthetic, and why the strongest women in the world still have to work part-time.
In episode 3 of Jessica Fostekew's stand up series about strong women, things start getting technical as we look into the world of Olympic Lifting and get familiar with the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk.
In the final episode of Jessica Fostekew's stand up series about big strong girls, we arrive at the most aesthetic and least functional of all the strength sports - Bodybuilding. The Schwarznegger in swimwear one.
