In episode 3 of Jessica Fostekew's stand up series about strong women, things start getting technical as we look into the world of Olympic Lifting and get familiar with the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk.

Jess talks to Champion Olympic lifters Emily Campbell and Zoe Smith about dealing with the opinions of others, their route into the sport. and what to eat if you want to get strong (spoiler, the answer is - your dinner).

Jess also takes part in an Olympic Lifting competition where she's a very much a newbie but has so much fun!
