In this second episode of the stand-up series looking at women's weightlifting, Jessica Fostekew introduces us to powerlifting - squat, bench press and deadlift.

We hear from 'Princess of Iron' Sharon Eggleton (the current second strongest powerlifter in Britain), as well as comedian and fanatical powerlifter Fern Brady, on just how brilliant and grounding it is to feel strong, not enjoying being a team player and how the rise in the female take-up of the sport is beginning to counter the toxic masculinity of the free weights area.
