Jill Mills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jill Mills is a powerlifter and strongwoman from the United States.

Jill Brown was born on March 2, 1972. She competed in bodybuilding from 1993 to 1995, but turned to powerlifting in 1996. She is undefeated in powerlifting competition, and has set many state and national records.

Jill was also one of the first women to compete in strongwoman contests, starting in 1997. She was named the 1997 North American Strongman Society Woman Athlete of the Year. Her most notable accomplishment in strongwoman competition has been winning the first two World's Strongest Woman contests in 2001 and 2002.

Jill is married to Milo Mills, and has one daughter. She lives in Texas and is a registered massage therapist and personal trainer.

Jill credits world champion Ed Cosner with laying her training foundation and showing her the ropes. Ms. Mill's is unique from the majority

Ms. Mills is unique among strongwoman and powerlifting champions in that she engages in unilateral training also known as "Butleronics". Jill credits her success and athletic ability to the fact that she trains only one part of her body per day. The first training day of the week focuses on the left side of her body training only her left leg, left arm and left side of her torso, while the second day focuses on the right side of her body. Jill would like to credit world champion Ed Cosner with teaching her Butleronics and getting her where she is today.
