Source quote and limits
“press 85 pounds”
An Associated Press news column states the bench-press load. Date is the issue date; exact feat date and repetitions are unknown. A July 12, 1991 Entertainment Weekly interview, reproduced at https://www.terminatorfiles.com/media/articles/hamilton_002.htm, supports the same load. The original EW page was unavailable. No running time was stated for the eight-mile run in that separate account. The linked July 12, 1991 Entertainment Weekly account states 112 lb bodyweight in the same passage as the 85 lb bench press. Bodyweight cleared: the cited AP column does not state it. The Entertainment Weekly copy at terminatorfiles.com says '112-pounder' in the same passage, if the desk prefers that page as the source.

Source quote and limits
“By Week 12, she was performing 15.”
First-person piece by trainer Mackie Shilstone (Deadline, republished on Yahoo, 2019-10-21). Exercise named in the text: 'It's called the Chest Push'; prescribed '5-10 times'; she reached 15 reps by week 12 of a training plan that took about a year before filming, so the feat is around 2017-2018; date is the source date. Unusual drill; low comparability. [Found by worker a.]
