Ooohh deadlifting less than half her body weight! I guess Whit's fans, who probably have no concept of what proper exercise looks like, are impressed. Let us know when you can pull your own weight off the floor! Hahaha.
In one of the episodes this season, as well as in the stupid wrapup game night show, Whitney referenced doing some kind of fitness competition. I feel like she said something about going up onstage and being barely clothed. So from that I can gather she is planning on doing some kind of a physique competition? Wow.
For anyone not in the know, there are basically three different kinds of "weightlifting" competitions out there:
1. Weightlifting. This is what you see athletes doing in the Olympics. It is a contest to see who can do the snatch and the clean & jerk with the most weight. We have seen Whit to Olympic style lifts in her Insta videos, but I think even her dumb dumb trainer realizes that Whit could really hurt herself going for big weights in this very technical sport. I seriously doubt she is training for this kind of competition.
2. Powerlifting. This is a contest where athletes try to get the biggest lifts they can in bench press, deadlift, and squat. Most powerlifting competitions have a female weight category that includes everyone over the weight of 185-195 or so. There are no style points here, just judges who watch you lift to make sure you execute properly. Whit can't execute anything properly, and she's also very weak compared to say a 200 pound woman who has been training hard. Whit would get destroyed in this kind of competition, so I don't think she would ever participate.
3. Bodybuilding/physique. This is the one where you flex onstage before a panel of judges. Think Arnold. For women, there are many different categories where the judges are trying to find a specific look. The unifying factor is that they are all looking for very lean and muscular women...like, visibly muscular. Even though she would have no hope of doing well at this, I believe this is the kind of competition Whit is going for. She loves to expose her flesh, she loves the attention of being onstage, and she will also lap up all the "fat shaming" victim points that she will receive when the judges give her low points. Not to mention, there is no objective measure of strength for her to actually work towards.
Here's a picture of a novice bikini competitor at a 2017 event in Georgia. This woman is Whitney's height, so she well could be direct competition! LOL
ETA: I can't believe I forgot, but there is another possible category which is Crossfit competition. It's more or less an "official" version of the type of workout Whit does in the gym with her trainer. I don't think Whit will compete in Crossfit. She would have to go head-to-head through strength tests and obstacle courses with people who would be WAY outperforming her at every turn, and her dad wouldn't be able to do it alongside her to be moral support/emotional punching bag. Not to mention she would have to modify almost everything.
