It's happening tomorrow! I'm in Flight A on the Blue Platform! Starts at 9am in the Grand Ballroom at the Golden Nugget Casino Hotel! There are four people from Oregon competing this weekend! 13 hour long drive from Hermiston to Las Vegas and barely made it in time for early weigh-ins. Made weight, got rack heights and gear checked. Been refueling by eating In-and-Out and mini powdered donuts. Nervous and excited for tomorrow and hopefully people in my flight are nice... --------------------------- #uspa #powerlifting #nationals #LasVegas #rawpowerlifting #squats #benchpress #deadlifts #LilLeaLifts #Oregon #powderedbydonuts #poweredbydonuts #mpnation #beastmode

#throwback to three years ago...? To when @janicenakamura had to shoot the boot with @shawnaholt's hair in it *gag* then two hours later this happened! LOL! Me: "Jahnice, I have your hair!" As I look over and see Shawna run to the van to get a good angle to take pictures and snapchat this epic moment* LOOOOL! I miss all of this-playing rugby, my team, the socials, everything! But mostly, I miss @shawnaholt @dale_frances @janicenakamura and @lvk2 ---------------------------- #tbt #throwbackthursday #rugby #rugbylife #womensrugby #shoottheboot #firsttry #missthis #SushiShorts 🏉

Woo!! My Fuchsia Inzer Forever Lever belt finally came in after over 10 weeks!!! Thank goodness! Now I can break it in for Nationals, and won't have to have one or two people helping me belt up for deadlifts!

Got more USPA medals to add to my USPA medal collection LOL. The two blue medals on the left are from last December 13th? 2014 (first in 148-women's open and 148-women's open-deadlift only), and the two right on the right are from this past weekend, June 13, 2015 (second in 148-women's open and first in 148-women's open-deadlift only). Even though I got second place in 148-women's open, I'm pretty proud of myself! I finally got to squat in this meet, haven't squatted at a meet since my first meet last December! And had a meet PR at ~320#! I also meet PR'd in deadlift at ~380#! Pulled it up fast even with my trap bothering me that whole day. Just didn't want to go too hard with it before nationals, because I'm scared something's going to pop or rip if I pull too hard with too heavy weight. My bench stayed the same though at ~165#. I want to thank everyone that supported me this weekend, especially my parents who drove 5+ hours from Hermiston just to watch me compete! They're the real MVP! Much love to everyone, you guys are awesome!! ❤️ I don't think anyone got my squat on video, but I might have some bench and deadlift videos to post up later! Good job to @coachreese90, @prettystrong.grl and Alexis!! Go #TeamWCAP!! Anyways, now time to continue to train for nationals next month! Can't wait to start training at Savage Gym!! #uspa #powerlifting #LilLeaLifts #chickswholift #womenwholift #womenwhopowerlift #bench #deadlifts #squats #beastmode #mpnation

LOL! 385 fail. Because every lifter has that moment when they get taxed out and fail. Also, haven't posted in awhile here. This was also my second deadlift session of the day, did my first DL sesh this morning with Kyle and Kari and repped no more than 315x3. Tonight my brother wanted to do deadlifts and I was just going to do 225 deficit pulls but ended up doing 225x5, 315x5, 325x3, 365x1, was going for 375x1 but couldn't find the right plates so we said, "screw it" and put on 385. My finger nails actually got caught on my leggings, too, going up. Haha. But I'll hit 385 next week, and I'll shoot for 400 even. Anyways, I'm pretty happy about this deadlift session since I thought I would've been a lot more tired from this morning's deadlift workout with my 315 sets and chain work. I always seem to be maxing whenever I'm with my brother, Anthony, @marcleonard90 or @salemsharaf haha. Thanks for support and push guys!! 😊😊😊 #powerlifting #fail #deadlifts #LilLeaLifts #LilLeaFails

#throwback to my last rugby game at PSU, Prom Dress Rugby @ SOU last spring. I miss rugby so much and I especially miss my best snipe, @shawnaholt and the best coach ever, @zaneberkley. Good times and good memories spent with PSU Women's Rugby the two years I played for them. I'm so glad that the team is growing and doing so well this year! Y'all are doing great and keep up the good work! #missthis #tbt #rugby #womensrugby #snipe #snipeventures #snipesnipesnipe #rachets #prom

My 170kg deadlift @ ~68kg bw. Not my max, went conservative because of my left shoulder/pec/trap injury. My first two lifts I went conventional but wanted this lift to go up fast because my shoulder was hurting so I nose torked it up and pulled sumo. LOL! Look at @marcleonard90 in the background haha. It was a good meet, first USAPL meet in the books! My team and I all set Oregon records! Congratulations and great job to everyone who competed in the meet! #LilLeaLifts #powerlifting #USAPL #springpowerchallenge #empireclassic #spokanefitexpo #deadlift #welivethis #mpnation #powerwomen #strong #strength #titan #beastmode #chickswholift #womenwholift #girlswholift ------------------------- PC: Carl Richardson

First USAPL meet, it was a Push-Pull only so no squat. My Benchpress went ~149lb, ~159lb, and ~165lb. Deadlift ~315lb, ~350lb, ~375lb. I'll post the videos later because my dad recorded all my team's lifts. *thanks Dad!* I got first place in both events and won Best Lifter in Deadlifts! Also since my team and I were all from Oregon competing in Washington, we all set Oregon State Records for USAPL! Cool, right!?! Anyways, lifting with an injury, especially after my last pull, really aggravated everything again so my mom and Marc think that I shouldn't compete in June (USPA Oregon state comp) but I'll get work and therapy done for a couple weeks and cut fat at the same time and then do what I've done the past couple of weeks before I got injured and just lift heavy. Thank you to all my supporters! Couldn't even done it without y'all! Love you guys! #LilLeaLifts #USAPL #springpowerchallenge #mpnation #powerlifting #power #beastmode #bench #deadlift #pushpull #spokane #chickswholift #womenwholift #girlswholift #strong #strength #D4L Now it's time to cut!

One more day until the big day! Empire Classic at the Spokane Fit Expo! Making sure I pack the important things for the meet: Titan singlet, Inzer wrist wraps, 10mm leather belt from Lifting Large, Adidas Powertrainer 2.0, Adidas wrestling shoes, and Adidas socks (I'm all about the Three Stripes), and the team shirt. I also have baby powder for deadlifts so the bar won't scrape my knees or thighs, a rumble roller, the Stick, Lax ball and an orb to help stretch and mobilize before my lifts. Super nervous especially since I'm lifting with an injury again. Idk why I'm always getting injured before a big meet...😁😁😁 #LilLeaLifts #powerlifting #usapl #inzer #titan #liftinglarge #adidas #TeamWCAP #bench #deadlift #powerwomen #chickswholift #womenwholift #girlswholift #mpnation #beastmode
