Michele Letendre is a relative newcomer to CrossFit, but less than two years after her first competition, the 26-year-old Canadian is already ranked second among the women. She credits her success to two-a-day workouts, a morning workout doing a program developed by her coach called Give'm Cold Steel, followed by an evening CrossFit session.
Whatever she's doing is working, as the 5' 1" athlete can clean and jerk (a move where you pull a loaded barbell up to your chin and then push it over your head) an impressive 175 pounds—47 pounds more than she weighs!
