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 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.

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.

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

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).

I found myself talking to a few folks recently about how our own fear can hinder snatch or jerk lockout - if I don’t fully believe that the lift is makable, doubts too strong, I find I hinder it, meeting it halfway up.
The barbell is in your hands - it can only rise as high as you believe it will.

3rd #clean and jerk, 72kg. Usually an opener but I know damn well if I punched it, I would probably run out of gas - if not for the lifts, then for the rest of the event, which would have been so much worse. Super nice surprise that Hookgrip started recording early.
