57kg for a 2+1 snatch+overhead squat was 90% for me. I was very proud that I didn't let this weight intimidate me. A few failed attempts but came back strong. # Power cleans, volumn squats and snatch high pulls feeling strong tho. # Yes, I feel like everyone is lifting more weight than I am. But that's ok. I'm getting comfortable here so I can dominate later. # #4starstrength #oldladystrength #oldladygains #oldladyhips #oldladygangsters #weightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway #snatch #snatchcomplex #powereverything (at 4 Star Strength)

There are days I'm so thankful for the fact that I have a place to lose myself in, when nothing else seems to be going right, I can control this. # Block Power snatches at below the knee. # #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympicweightlifting #powersnatch #blockwork (at 4 Star Strength)

The best things I've ever done for myself in regards to training: 1. Physical therapy 2. More positive attitude. See 1. To help attain number 2. The shoulder pain was causing me to dread training. I was always in pain. I couldn't attack lifts. I was begging my body to even complete the lift. Now I can build trust that my shoulder can handle the weight. # I can't thank @morspt enough for getting me back to enjoying lifting. #4starstrength #oldladystrength #oldladygains #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway #powersnatch #ifithurts #fixit (at 4 Star Strength)

Still enjoying a light week. Even #nomercymorris said I was moving well. I just need consistency. Amen. And one rep at a time. #4starstrength #movewell #beconsistent #deloadweek #snatchingmycaresaway #powereverything #skwat (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)

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. Big things. #4starstrength #team4star #oldladystrength #barbellbabes #womenwholift #oldladygains #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #cleans #blockwork #personalrecord (at 4 Star Strength)

I have family, friends and the children of family and friends that have been diagnosed with being on the autistic spectrum. # The awareness of this month should NOT be on individuals who are diagnosed as being on the spectrum. # The awareness should be focused on how our world FORCES those on the spectrum to either adhere to societal norms or be considered "difficult" or "unable to function." # People on the spectrum are people. They have feelings. They interact with the world. Just not in the same pathways. # If we can find ways to open our definitions and abilities of interaction, then we won't need to stigmatize those on the spectrum. # Example: "Billy has difficulty making eye contact and friends. He has issues communicating" makes it sound like Billy has has the burden of adhering to how many of us communicate. He is deficient. # But what if we said, "Billy wants to make friends but he needs to approach people in a different way. He communicates best through building blocks. Can you ask Billy how he builds his blocks? " Now communication is on everyone. Billy isn't deficient, he's different. And it's ok to be different. We teach those interacting with Billy how to do so and we teach Billy how to be approached with his blocks. # #autism #autismawareness #autisticspectrum #autismisnttheproblem #howwetreatitis

I don't know who the fuck @_neil_lester is and I don't care. # No permission to use MY BODY to promote his feed. And I don't care that he tagged me. His aesthetics transformations is exactly why I don't want to be used. I didn't change to LOOK different. I changed to take charge of my body. # DON'T USE MY IMAGE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION TO SELL YOUR PAGE!!! #stealourposts #fuckyou #asshole

You must decide to survive and thrive. Healing is an active choice, even if you choose silence. Even if the passage of time seals the wound. There is still an action taken. @halfaroastchicken for the lovely neon art #chooseyourlife #healing #Trusttheprocess #dontbeavictim #survivingthewilderness #risingstrong #daringgreatly #healyourself #decidetothrive

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)

I used to think that I just wasn't good at having female friends. # I just needed to find my tribe. ❤ OG love # "The best friendships are fierce lady friendships where you aggressively believe in each other, defend each other, and think the other deserves the world." #internationalwomensday #fam #tribe #oldladygangsters #oldladygains #bitchesbuildempires (at Detroit, Michigan)
