- Summary
- NoS Summary - Jeanne, 19 yr old French, lifting weights and exercising.
NoS synopsis: "Allow is to introduce "Jeanne", a little French girl who claims to be the strongest of her sex - at ninteen". We see her parking her car, she then applies some face powder using a compact. "Jeanne is a pupil of Cadine, an Olympic Champion of Strength, and the way she throws heavy things about looks ominous for a future husband -". "The 50 kilos bar (over 110-lbs) she manages one-hand -". Jeanne juggles some heavy weights. "How many men could lift this heavy bar - 150 kilos (over 300-lbs)." "And a double-handed lift of 80 kilos - (over 175-lbs)." Jeanne lifts bar bells and weights above her head. "Yet, Jeanne is well-shaped and slender - not like the usual type of strongwoman - her bending exercises keep out Mr. Avoirdupois, she says." She then performs an exercise routine including touching her toes. - Researcher Comments
