Holiday lifting! Slowly getting comfortable with blocks again. I used to absolutely love block work, and I want that feeling back. #weightlifting #oly #fitnessky #alliwantforchristmas

In other news, I’m (still) very, very excited to be helping put on an official weightlifting meet in San Francisco. I’m also completely blown away by the support - we’re over 40% filled, and I’ll be posting a live start list soon. Feeling very grateful to my co-conspirators for their trust.

I’m extremely annoyed at the way a certain online retailer’s ad bots have gummed up all my feeds lately. @blueskyfeedcreator.com got any tools for blocking link spam?

So I go away for a few weeks, and come back to Amazon spammers everywhere? Okey dokey, updating the feed to block Amazon links.

Super excited to announce that I’m helping put on a #weightlifting meet here in San Francisco. This will be SF’s first Olympic Weightlifting event since 2019! www.pacificweightliftingassociation.org/e/san-franci...

Absolutely baffled by small fitness businesses where it takes sixteen clicks to figure out *what* they sell. Is it chalk? Is it shirts? Is it smelling salts? Is it coffee? Y’all can sponsor influencers but you can’t just say what you’re making front and center on your site and bio?

I could focus on only having 3 days to lift this week, or on needing to stay at the lighter end of my working range today, or on the ridiculous faces I make, or on my upper arms jiggling… not today.

Today I’m just feeling really lucky that I GET to do this most mornings.

Sometimes I PR things through the magic of not reading the program carefully enough. And sometimes I mis up my pauses and not pauses in the same complex. It’s win some, confuse some. But I’m stupid happy with this power jerk.

#Alcatraz is currently run by the parks service, and it brings in millions of dollars a year.

Considering this administrations’s push to take resources away from our national parks system, it seems pretty obvious that removing it as a tourist attraction is about closing parks.

My first #weightlifting meet was an in-house supertotal in a CF gym, and where I first got hooked on the excitement, adrenaline, and excuse for glitter and silly costumes that is competing in strength sports. Ten years later, I can honestly say that turning out for this one event changed my life.

It’s a beautiful day, I’m lucky to be here in the sun, and I was proud of this set. Anyone being frowny in my bubble today is a them problem.

It doesn’t matter how excited I am to go do #weightlifting in the morning. If I didn’t pack my bag AND set out my clothes the night before, I won’t be making it. Why am I like this?

I’m aware of an issue with the weightlifting feed - it involves @blueskyfeedcreator.com and I see the feed and its latest content in the moderation view, but NOT in Bluesky directly.

This weekend I competed at USAMW National Masters Weightlifting Championship. Went 6 for 6 and got to deadlift. Fun weekend, and the least work I’ve done at a meet in years. Qualified for Worlds in Vegas too! #weightlifting #mastersathlete #fitnesssky

Kicking off a slightly silly few weeks of travel with a weekend in Boise for the first of two national #weightlifting meets in two weeks. Can someone explain why these events are scheduled like this? Serious question cause I’m gonna see a lot of the same people and this is a bit rough on coaches.

Can someone please explain why there is someone parked diagonally in my building’s parallel park loading zone?

Join me for a snatch session powered by single album playlists and staring a hole through the front desk tent! (Headphone days are rare for me, but I needed to stay on and not get too distracted.)

1 and 2 weeks out from Masters Nationals (crazy is lady doing both a week apart).

National event with the highest qualifying totals of the year. The qualifying totals on this event are high enough that making a total here will qualify you for any other national event with a qualifying total. [CORRECTED]
March 10, 2025 at 12:37 AM
National competition with qualifying totals, co-running with an international event. Should be a lot of fun!
March 8, 2025 at 11:34 PM
National competition with no qualifying totals. Your efforts here can only qualify you for 3 specific events!
March 8, 2025 at 8:14 PM
International competition with qualifying totals and super inclusive policies: totals from any sanctioned meet, in any federation, are accepted!
