strongwoman
She lifts heavy
A strongwoman is a female athlete who competes in strength sports—lifting heavy objects, pulling vehicles, carrying weights for distance.
The term parallels strongman and refers specifically to competitive strength athletics rather than general fitness.
Figuratively, a strongwoman is a female leader who rules with an iron grip, the feminine counterpart to political strongman: The province was governed by a local strongwoman.
