'Female World Arm-Wrestling Champion' Ayane Takenaka displayed overwhelming strength.

Japan's "Life It" reported on the 23rd that "Takenaka posted a training video of herself lifting a 32kg dumbbell with one hand on her social media (SNS)."

The media explained, "Takenaka attempted dumbbell curls in casual attire, including a long skirt and a black shirt. She controlled the heavy 32kg dumbbell without any tremor, despite it being a weight that even martial artists or fitness experts struggle to handle."

Takenaka said, "I tried swinging wildly with an 'ego lift hammer curl.' Next time, I'll sit on a gym bench and take on the challenge properly."

Among the various "hammer curl" movements where one grips the dumbbell vertically and bends the arm to intensely target the biceps and forearm muscles (upper arms), the "ego lift hammer curl" refers to lifting the dumbbell by force, exceeding the limit weight, using upper body momentum or bending the waist.

However, Takenaka lifted the dumbbell with almost no use of momentum, leaving viewers in awe. Fans who watched the video expressed their surprise, saying, "This is definitely not a woman's arm," "I thought it was an AI-generated video," and "She easily surpasses the strength of male professional athletes."

Takenaka began focusing on strength training since middle school. In 2023, she dominated the World Arm-Wrestling Federation (WAF) World Championships in the women's under-55kg category (left and right hands). She has gained significant popularity with her large muscular physique contrasting sharply with her small face.

In a past YouTube channel special program, she faced former K-1 champion Masato, a male fighter, in an arm-wrestling match and created a stunning upset by overpowering him instantly with overwhelming skill.

Last April, she won the world's most prestigious professional tournament, "East vs. West," held in Germany, defeating European powerhouses. Takenaka has now moved up one weight class from the existing 55kg division to the 60kg division. She continues her training to defend her world title by handling heavier weights and further strengthening her physique.
