Natasha Aughey is something of an Internet sensation due to her stunningly powerful physique and relentless, high-weight and high-rep workouts. Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, Aughey is becoming recognized as a top female powerlifter.
Five years into her career, she credits much of her success to the sheer power of her legs. This workout offers a glimpse into how she's built such a powerful foundation.
As you can see in the video, Aughey gets some help stretching out her legs before she gets going. And with good reason: She's about to move some serious weight. In this video, she's doing 24 sumo deadlift reps at 320 pounds, 24 pause squats at 245 pounds, and 15-24 deadlifts at upwards of 250 pounds.
Unless you're an experienced lifter, don't go anywhere near these weights. Start with what feels safe and comfortable to you, pay attention to your form, and slowly increase the amount of weight you slam on the bar.
