Recently I was reviewing some Afghanistan cultural information for work. Well, lo and behold after we liberated the country from the Taliban they had a Miss Afghanistan contest, and Miss Vida Samadzai won the contest and competed in teh Miss World contest. The biggest controversy was she competed in a red bikini and built a fan club-like following, both of which were scandalous. Even more amazing her fan club posted a video of her deadlifting to YouTube:

She does a pretty good set of 5 deadlifts-which is the deadlift portion of the 5x5 plan I have found very useful in my personal training.
So if Miss Afghanistan deadlifts, shouldn't you? It's amazing to me this lift is all but banned in most gyms in the US!
