Waves on waves on waves today. I'm trying very hard to dial in on consistency and find the magic hip height in my snatches. # I like this set up because it's the first time I can really feel the pull after hip contact and I can focus on pulling myself under. # I hate this set up because the pull to the knees makes me feel like my back isn't strong enough. # Time to body build. #team4star #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway #newstart #newcycle (at 4 Star Strength)

Kinda loving on these power snatches at knee. Just enough weight to feel the movement. Focused on patience, drive and extension. # 3 years ago about this time, I started training for my first weightlifting competition. Extra sessions after WODs when I was crossfitting. I got a 43kg snatch for that comp (first summer CANUSA). # Now that's a weight I use to train at. # Time is perception. #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway #powereverything (at 4 Star Strength)

"Because you did your job." -Matthew Adamcheck @coach_adamcheck # When asking how the hell did I medal when 3 women in my weight/age class had 30+kg qualifying totals over mine. # The job you ask?

Last training day with heavier weights. Shit finally decided to come together. Including my damn jerks. Three singles at 90% and the jerks were money. Time to lift. #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway #oldladygangsters #oldladygains #letsgoAO (at 4 Star Strength)

There is an immense sense of satisfaction when you need to dig in to accomplish something and it's purely your sheer will that gets it done. I'm happy when my body feels good and strong movements happen. But I'm proud when I'm tired, when there are pieces of my brain that wants to be done but you know the fatigue is there to train you, you push you. Finished out doubles with good strong form and lock out. Each one of these, I put myself on the platform. I felt my fatigue and demanded good movements of myself. And I know it will pay off in competition. #4starstrength #pushthroughfatigue #competition #cleanandjerk #oldladystrength #barbellbabes #womenwholift #oldladygangsters #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting (at 4 Star Strength)

When you pull your competition opener out of yer butt at 8pm on a Monday, 3rd training day in a row....I'm more happy with this dead stop clean and pressed out jerk then I probably should be. # And I should go mash my quads. #team4star #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #womenwholift #barbellbabes #postbariatricbody #postbariatric #donthatetheshake #flipoffthebar (at 4 Star Strength)

Keep grinding. Staring down the rabbit hole, trying to find my groove again. #team4star #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #oldladygangsters #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway (at 4 Star Strength)

VOLUMN! 3x3 clean & jerks at 80%, then 4 sets of doubles at 85%. I'm extremely pleased with how snappy this last set looks. # Then squats. I was nervous for back pain. But managed my 5 sets of doubles at 80% with NO BACK PAIN. My left medius glute is another story. # Registered for #americanopen2018 this morning.

I'm so fucking happy y'all. 82kg off blocks at the knee. I've yet to take that off the floor. Thank you @coach_adamcheck for programming the things I need and hate. Thank you @morspt for helping me build my shoulder and hip back. Thank you to team mates who love to see heavy weights being slung around. Big things this training cycle.
