(Gayla sent me the last picture of her father Donald Crain, seen here with her loving Mother and Gayla's youngest son in 2004)

God has blessed this family with the strength of Samson, as this family has taken the powerlifting world by storm as they have literally broken many State and World record titles in the world of powerlifting. Both Gayla and her older brother, Rickey (third from left) have been blessed with the prestigious title of "Pound for pound of being the strongest woman/man in the world" according to the Schwartz formula. 

"When her son was born they named him Samson, and the Lord blessed him as he grew up." Judges 13:24

 (The Schwartz formula which uses the belief if you weigh more then you should lift more. The Schwart formula uses the ratio of combined total weight of squat, deadlift, and benchpress versus your bodyweight.)

A man after God's own heart
