We all know that when it comes to showbiz reporting, Xpose presenters are the heavy weights in their field. (Okay, we totally didn't know/think that but go with it.) However, now it looks like one of these lovely ladies are going to take their chances on becoming a powerlifter as well.

Yep, Xpose's Lisa Cannon has put herself up for the mad challenge of competing in the Powerlifting Championships which are just a few short months away on April 5th. The presenter will train over the next eight weeks, putting herself a gruelling diet and training regime. What the hell Lisa? Surely she would be happier interviewing celebs on the red carpet? But, as baffled as we are, one mahoosive fair play to her.

Lisa said: “I’m really looking forward to the challenge because this is something that it both physical and mental. I’m pushing myself beyond boundaries I’ve never felt or even known before. I’ve swapped the pints for the protein so it’s really a massive endeavor to get this project off the ground. I’ve never lifted weights before; I’m a complete novice so going to the Championships on the 5th of April is going to be a really good, exciting challenge in my life.”

A camera crew will follow Lisa on her transformation and it will be broadcast as a documentary on TV3 in April. You can also see weekly updates of her progress on Ireland AM until then.

Some woman 'ey?
