There was a lot of slapping and shouting involved.

LISA CANNON’S PRESENTER to Powerlifter documentary aired on TV3 last night.

The Xpose presenter set herself a challenge to compete in the IPO Irish powerlifting championships, and spent eight weeks training herself from a novice to pro powerlifter.

Her journey saw her slap herself a lot

And ROARING, a lot of roaring

Determination

And more roaring

So how did she do? She dead-lifted 110kg, 37.5kg bench and squatted 95kg. That’s a LOT.

It didn’t stop twitter from being a bit awestruck by the whole thing.

@LisaCannonXpose LOL! I want that roar as a ringtone :D #presentertopowerlifter
