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)

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)

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)

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)

A small change in my starting position made a huge impact today. 90% snatch looking like a standard rep. 85% cleans doing alright. And 85% front squats for singles. # But really what drove home today was being reminded that caring for my body is far and away the thing to remember. # I'm grateful for finding a sport I enjoy so that I stay active and want to take care of my physical, mental and emotional self. # #4starstrength #oldladystrength #beunstopable #grind #oldladyhips #mastersoly #mastersolympiclifting #michiganweightlifting #snatchingmycaresaway #clean #frontsquat #postbariatricbody #postbariatric #donthatetheshake #buymebrunch (at 4 Star Strength)
