From a photo of me looking hot af, to a video of me looking decidedly less dressed up 😂 Yesterday was my first day of comp prep! I have decided to take a leap and compete in a powerlifting competition in 7 weeks. It's both terrifying and incredibly exciting to be working towards new goals and challenges. Since I've only ever done a 1RM at 80kg around 2 months ago, it was incredibly satisfying to smash out 2 sets of 2x72.5kg and have them feeling fairly good! I can't wait to see what I can do over the next 7 weeks, and to see what I can achieve! A MASSIVE shoutout to @the_barbell_brat and @relentless_rebel for putting your journeys on social media for me to see and be inspired by. If it wasn't for you both posting over the last couple of years I'd never have had the courage to step foot back into the gym, let alone train in powerlifting and compete! Much love to you both ❤ And of course I can't forget @jamiecougan for encouraging me in our personal training sessions to always go further, and getting me to actually put my name down for something 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTCgtygVUH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16jtfcag0ve48
