Résumé
Rebecca 'Becca' Swanson (born November 20, 1973) is an American powerlifter, strongwoman and former professional wrestler. She broke multiple powerlifting world records, including the heaviest squat, bench press, deadlift and the total. Due to her many accomplishments including unbeaten strength world records to-date, she is regarded as "the strongest woman to have ever lived".
Swanson was born November 20, 1973, in Papillion, Nebraska. She graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.
Becca Swanson started out in 1996 with the desire to be a bodybuilder, but ended up powerlifting. According to her, the larger and more muscular women had fallen out of favor in bodybuilding after a few shows. She was told that she was just too big for bodybuilding, which motivated her to take up powerlifting. At the same time, she was very close to some powerlifting world records and thought it best to focus her efforts there. Her squat is (equipped), bench press is (equipped with bench shirt), and she is the only woman to deadlift (equipped). She is also the first woman ever known to be a member of the 2000 pound club, as she is the first of two women ever to total over 2000 pounds in a meet on the same day. She has also competed in strongwoman contests, beginning in 2002. Swanson is also known for doing 35 kg dumbbell curls for 10 repetitions.
Swanson was a professional wrestler in Harley Race's World League Wrestling based in Eldon, Missouri.

On March 12, 2010, Swanson would lose the title to Lucy Mendez in a triple threat match which also included Hennig. On March 13, Swanson was unsuccessful in capturing the WLW Women's Championship for a second time as Hennig would defeat both Swanson and Mendez in a triple threat match.
