My bad for using lifting classification nomenclature. Record breakers get social media attention and lifters like to compare/peg their progress to how fast the top 1% progresses. Conventional wisdom suggests diminishing returns at extreme end of competitiveness, but since there are so many new entrants into the sport, outlier "juniors" are progressing extremely fast and shattering records on time scale that normally take years in a mature sport. 5 years is really a short career in lifting terms - many people who lift similar amount of time with less progress are getting... overwhelmed by the progress. This progress is happening in male weight classes as well, but I think women deadlifting or squatting 500lbs makes some men question their masculinity in unhealthy ways. There was always 20 year old women who could deadlift 500lbs, but they didn't train, now they do and they're very visible. Now they are and as expected, some people can't cope and even form toxic communities around their inability to cope. Buettner in particular gets shit on because she gets insulin TUE, and insulin is performance enhancing in muscle building... and keeping her alive. It's all very dumb.
