2. Powerlifting
Jessica explores Powerlifting - squat, bench press and deadlift in the series looking at women's weightlifting. From 2023.
Jessica Fostekew’s stand-up series looking at women's weightlifting continues, with an introduction to Powerlifting - squat, bench press and deadlift.
We hear from one of the top-ranking strongest female Powerlifters in Britain - 'Princess of Iron' Sharon Eggleton.
Plus comedian and fanatical powerlifter Fern Brady, on just how brilliant and grounding it is to feel strong, not enjoying being a team player and how the rise in female take-up of the sport is beginning to counter the toxic masculinity of the free-weights area.
Written and performed by Jessica Fostekew.
Producer: Lyndsay Fenner
A Mighty Bunny production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2023.
