Amber Hansen

Bio

Amber Hansen is an accomplished powerlifter. She lifts raw and equipped. She has climbed the highest ranks of both; #3 of all time raw in her weight class, #2 of all time multiply, and she currently holds the all time world record multiply squat in the 198lb class. She is one of 4 women to ever squat over 800lbs along side some of her greatest inspirations and friends, Leah Reichman, Becca Swanson, and Crystal Tate. Outside of the gym, Amber is a major in the U.S. Air Force, a professor of aerospace studies, and can shred the hell out of a mini ramp on roller skates. She can do an ugly muscle up and can yeet a Braemar stone pretty far too. She touts general athleticism as a foundation any strength discipline. Amber is no stranger to humor on her social media, embracing corn mania, bathroom reviews, and her dogs’ bodily idiosyncrasies. Amber surrounds herself with the strongest folks around and encourages others to do the same. As one of the four founding ladies of The Main Event Project, she is an advocate for women in strength sports and championed the expansion of female weight classes across the powerlifting enterprise. She’s always happy to help others in her DMs, coach when she has the bandwidth, and provide mentorship to anyone who asks.
