Is anyone following the career of Barbie Barbell (Amanda Harris)? We
caught up with Mark Harris backstage at the Arnold Expo, and grabbed a
quick interview with him and his daughter, Amanda.

Check it out here:

She currently holds 38 world powerlifting records in her weight class,
age, and gender!

How does one win 7 world championships in one year? And how will one
compete in 6 world championships this year?

She doesn't hold any IPF world records so in actuality, she holds
none:

I believe she competes in the WPO. That's why I'm asking (by the way),
I'm hoping to find someone with more information than I have in here.
Any one know more about Amanda or Mark Harris?

My bad, she competes in the AAU, WPA/WPC, WABDL, APF, and US Power
Lifting Federation.

http://www.arnoldsportsfestival.com/...tter_72406.asp

"On April 7, 2006, Amanda set the Squat World Record for competitor's
age 13-15 years when she competed against 6 to 7 other athletes her age.
As a 14 year old competitor at the weight of 110 lbs. (just two lbs.
more than the 108 lbs. she weighed at the Arnold in March of 2006) at
the American Powerlifting Federation's meet in Texas she not only set a
squat record at 255 lbs. but also a bench of 155.75 lbs. and a deadlift
record of 255 lbs. Amanda's equal poundage in the squat and deadlift is
a significant indicator of her well balanced physique. Her total
poundage for the event was 300 kilos."

"Amanda adds she is looking to try to get into the Olympics however she
wants to wait for powerlifting to be recognized as an Olympic sport.
Right now Amanda is a two-time World Champion within the AAU and sees
herself as advancing the sport of Powerlifting. Interestingly Amanda's
father was a 5 time National and World Champion and a 5 time AAU World
Champion. Two weeks ago in Las Vegas at the APF Senior Nationals, Amanda
became the 1st youngster to ever compete and win this event. Just a few
days ago she set a state record in a single bench when she lifted 138
lbs, a single lift record for age and weight category."

"By the end of 2006, Amanda will have won 5 World Powerlifting
Championships. She will be the 1st powerlifter to ever achieve this.
October 2006 will be the AAU World Championships, November will be World
Powerlifting Organizations/World Powerlifting Congress World
Championships, and December will bring two events, the World
Powerlifting Association Championships in Maine, and the WBDAL World
Championships in Las Vegas."

Hmmm. It's funny she doesn't compete in the fed with the only
legitimate world championship, USAPL/IPF.

Neither would beat her counterparts in the USAPL, which is probably
why she hasn't competed there. Plus she doesn't lift enough to get
any world record in any category in the IPF. Not that she isn't a
good lifter, just not world record or world champion caliber.
