APF has no limits for suits,no drug test.
Do you go beyond parallel in squats?
I would like to see the videos of her lifts.

Sounds like to me another Mr. Anonymous is jealous because a woman out totals him. Mr.Anonymous maybe spend more time in the gym working out and you can get as strong as the women,lol. So called Drug Free feds have just as many users as anyone else or more, people are just trying to hide there.

Just say, great job, well done and don't be trying to tear down her achievements.
