I really really did not want to be i here this morning, but I was. I think there comes a point where it might not be the best workout but the most important part was showing up. Still feeling run down but also needed to know mentally I could do it. I haven’t tried to pull anything more than 245lbs the last 2-3 months. Which was great because i needed to clean up technique on these. - - For my sanity I went ahead and tried to 265lbs which I honestly had to shake off a lot of doubt mentally. Surprisingly that went up smooth. So tried to 275lbs lol which was slow but I’m actually surprised that even went up. Of course it was so grindy it killed me so my working sets which is typically 3 x 3 at 245lbs turned to 1 x 6. I will spare you from that video. But I’ll give myself a 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 because with the way I’ve been feeling lately I’m really surprised I was able to pull these. 😎😎😎 #sticktoyourgrind #deadlifttillimdead #deadlifts #powerlifting #deadliftface #deadliftfordays (at San Diego, California)

Happy Saturday! Had some early morning work to get done and ran across this video on my laptop. This is from 2 years ago when I was excited to just pull 175lbs for the first time . We all have to start somewhere. But what I remember most about this video was all the mean things I said to myself internally, which wasn't about the lift. I actually thought I needed to lean out more and looked fat when in comparison to now I actually agree with people I looked scrawny. So this video to me is a subtle reminder how mean we can be to ourselves, and how we need to be mindful of our internal conversations. And yeah my technique has improved a lot in the last two years although that is always always an on going #workinprogress. Anyway so to @julietbalaoing day I just wanted to say fine your right I so had chicken legs back then 🤣🤣🤣. #throwback #lookhowfarwehavecome #chickenthighs #selfloveisthebestlove #girlswhopowerlift #hardworkpaysoff #sticktoyourgrind (at San Diego, California)

Dear Self, look how far you've come. "look back at where you came from and let yourself feel proud about your progress. YOU ARE. KILLING.IT." 🚦#keepgoing 🚦. This was close to exactly a year ago today. First time I ever pulled anything over 200lbs. This was 207lbs. I'm also in pain looking at this laughing at how I use to just pull it instead of cranking my lats tight. 🙈🙈🙈Always a beautiful thing to look back at how a difference a year can make. #mondaymotivation #sticktoyourgrind #whatadifferenceayearmakes #powerlifting #deadlift #girlswhopowerlift (at Home Sweet Home-San Diego)

After two weeks of pulling frequent all nighters, I am happy to announce that my thesis is turned in and my graduate career is a week from being over! Also, I am feeling like a human again. In other good news: I am beyond excited to announce I have accepted a job with Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio, and I will be moving next month! When you want something enough, nothing can stand in your way. Hard work pays off and I'm proof. #sticktoyourgrind
