Becca Swanson is an American bodybuilder and power-lifter. She currently holds several weightlifting world records for women, including the highest squat, highest deadlift, and highest total lift.[1]

Becca started out in 1996 as a bodybuilder, but switched to powerlifting because, according to her, larger, more muscular women had fallen out of favor in bodybuilding.[2]
