Jen Sinkler, powerlifter and trainer at the Movement Minneapolis, regularly posts jaw-dropping photos and videos of herself and her workout buddies dead lifting, bench pressing and back-squatting with enormous weights. Images of her bulging biceps and juicy quads run counter to the waif-like female aesthetic in our culture.

Her Twitter profile pretty much says it all: "Never, ever without lip gloss." jensinkler.com
