After two years of following in her father’s footsteps, Maryana knew she had found the sport she wanted to pursue for the rest of her life. She was just 12 years old when Maryana became the talk of the town.

Not only was she entering bench pressing competitions, but she was also walking away with a number of titles. Amazingly, Maryana took the world by storm when she benched 70 kg (154 pounds). Although it was nearly 1.5 times her bodyweight, Maryana was the youngest person to lift so much.

Aleksandr knew his daughter needed someone to train her in the way of bench pressing. After so many years of competing in the sport, who better than Maryana’s own father to step up to the role?

He had been in the world of weights for many years and knew the effort that needed to be put in if Maryana was serious about becoming a competitor. However, Maryana wasn’t happy. She loved bench pressing but wanted to experiment with weightlifting instead.
