These are some really impressive lifts from Buettner, especially while in costume. Although she has been known to have some solid deadlifts. The fact that it is for a good cause is enough to make anybody’s heart just a bit warmer. It is nice to see the bodybuilding world come together for a good cause while maintaining the holiday spirit.

Jessica Buettner put in some good work at this show, helping out the Deadlift 4 Cancer event. Even outside of that, she is just an incredibly strong powerlifter.
