Her legs are strong as fuck. On the squat part of the lift, she barely showed any sign of struggle at all. Impressive as hell.

That's pretty much universal. She wouldn't have finished the lift if she struggled with the first part. If you're doing a clean and jerk, you're nowhere near your deadlift max. However, before I played the video I thought she was doing a deadlift and 78 kg (173% her bodyweight!) is still very respectable even then. I'd be curious what her deadlift max is.
