From Tank Tops and Deadlifts: the story of Becci Holcomb

“Before becoming the powerlifting sensation who is pursuing her doctoral degree at Life University in Georgia, Holcomb tackled one of the hardest jobs available – being the oldest of ten children. It is a job with responsibilities that dwarf many of those within the powerlifting industry.

During her years in middle school and high school, struggles began piling up for Holcomb – struggles that proved to become obstacles that stood between Holcomb and her true potential for over a decade.

I had a mother who wasn’t the kindest, my childhood was a bit rough,” said Holcomb.

“She told me frequently how I was too fat to do anything. She would tell me that I needed to go on a diet and that I shouldn’t wear tank tops or anything without sleeves because I shouldn’t show my chunky arms.”  Read the full story here.

The entire MVMNT staff couldn’t be more proud. When Becci walks into a room, you know it, you feel it. Her energy is positively electric. She can get you pumped up to take a heavy lift and in the same moment make you feel cool as a cucumber. She is a total badass. 

So stop what you’re doing right now, go show her some love on her Facebook page or follow her on Instagram. And then…
