Ronda Rousey On Healthy Self-Esteem:

https://youtu.be/fJwdEMA-l_Y

I remember being the only woman attempting to bench press, in the U.S. Navy gym, surrounded by professional athletes in the military. My body issues are the opposite of Ronda Rousey's. If you've ever seen the iconic Marilyn Monroe photo at the bench press, you would be more impressed. I can not actually bench press close to Marilyn Monroe, let alone match Ronda Rousey in upper body strength.

This became quite apparent to the amused, professional-level, power-lifters in the Navy. Yet, one shipmate, I nicknamed "Muscles," actually took pity on me. He came over and offered to spot me on the bench press. Later on, in Melbourne, Australia, I once attempted to learn Olympic power-lifting. There should be a comedy skit about that humiliating/character-building attempt. I hope that the U.S. Navy can bring the real SEALs to Melbourne's Olympic power lifting gyms to "truly compete" on my behalf.
