The University of Georgia is known for producing strong football players. Some set records, others don’t. Now, however, a female UGA cheerleader from Fayetteville is being touted as college cheerleading’s strongest.

Anna Watson, who likes to spend time in the weight room, has bench pressed 155 pounds and dead lifted 230 and squatted 255 pounds. She’s so strong that a company offered her $75,000 to do fitness modeling for them—provided she would take Anavar, a legal steroid.

No, thanks, Anna said. She said she was worried about the possible side effects when she decides to have children.
