1st place Amateur Raw Open 132 weight class. 700 lb total.
I did not hit everything I wanted and I had some pretty fantastic failures. Went 5/9 but every lift I made was #threewhitelights After this meet I know what I need to work on before my next meet to have an even better showing.
Thank you so much to Eric and @jak485 at @competitiveedgepower for helping me peak, for the loaner belt and for all the guidance and support. You both are the best.
And thank you to everyone who showed their support these past few months. And @powerhousegym08610 for encouraging me to do this in the first place and giving me the confidence. @deathbyraptor thanks for the lift off, rides and pep-talks today. @bee_stung for driving all the way from Hartford to watch me lift. And lastly @bbbenwilliamson and @crushfit for brining me and Liza and @kellyabirch I might not doing #crish60 but I’m a crusher for life 😊
Hit 310 opener easy. Then 330 easy. failed 345 and couldn’t break the floor. This was the fail that hit me hardest. But again it’s my first meet and having a 310 opener was the highest female opener today (was higher than one male 😜). This matches my old max and I have 245 just not today. Next time! #deadlift #juststrong
This morning I read a post by @luke-at-me-fitness. “Fear mediocrity”, and it really struck a chord for me. I haven’t felt my best lately and I’ve attributed it to the fact that I’m binging more or that I’m not pushing myself as hard as I could be in school or a million other things. But blaming my own faults on those things allows me to avoid any and all personal responsibility, and at the end of the day it’s just a lack of forward momentum that’s got me down. Mediocrity doesn’t mean failing to change the world, it just means failing to change at all, even in the slightest way, in order to better yourself.
Captain, while a great many people see you as a hero, there are some who prefer the word vigilante. You’ve operated with unlimited power and no supervision. That’s something the world can no longer tolerate.
EARNED NOT GIVEN 💀 these box jumps may not seem like much but let me tel you the mental block I have towards things like these! High school I would literally bust my ass DAILY like fall flat on the ground because I would trip or stumble. & 2 years ago was the last time I did these in the rec at my college I fell, busted my knee & cried in front of everyone lol so I am coming back with vengeance 😡👊🏼 moral of the story: don’t let shit intimidate you, or don’t try something again if you failed once before! The difference between a novice and a master is that the master has failed multiple times!!
