[ANARCHY] Don't usually post photos of my arse but I'm loving these new Robota leggings from #anarchyapparel. Thanks to @jesswolsnape for introducing me to the brand. Super comfy as well. #leggings #legginglove #drawstring #robot

[FAST FEET] Bringing some agility work into my training mix. Lots of concentration required even for this most basic of drills. I've got some work to do here! 🤣 #notveryfastfeetyet #agility #speed #strongman #strongwoman

[BACK TO THE CUT] Coming towards the end of my first week back cutting with @shannonsnutrition. The scales haven't moved much overall this first week but it's been good to have my mind back in the cutting mindset. Here's my 'start' photos for accountability purposes. Sitting at 74.6kg this morning, my goal is to get comfortably under 70kg again. I've got an u70kg competition in November - 14 weeks away so it should be perfectly achievable. We have loads of social events and meals out coming up, but I've done this before so I can do it again. And just a word on my weight gain. I am NOT beating myself up for it at all. I was training for the biggest competition of my #strongwoman career so far and was focused on performance, not weight. I knew weight gain was possible, especially when I started taking creatine supplements but it was worth the short term gain in weight to be well fuelled for training and the competition. My body, my choice. My choice now is to get leaner again 😊 #cutting #roadtounder70kg #shannonsnutrition #fatloss #weightloss

[WELCOME BACK] To the real #britishsummertime #currentview

[SHATTERED] Feeling a bit broken today. In truth I'm probably still not completely recovered from last weekend's competition. Then yesterday we had our annual summer BBQ and friendly competition @skorpion_fitness. It ended up being a real test of conditioning, which unsurprisingly after months of training for max strength didn't suit me particularly well. Probably very good for me but lifting light weights very quickly for 2 and a half hours was quite a shock to my system! Then last night I woke up incredibly sweaty, feeling sick with a pounding heart. Not sure why, the 30 degree heat in London probably isn't helping and I feel pretty much wiped out today as a result. But Sunday is gym day, one of my favourite sessions of the week as I usually have the place to myself. I decided to try out a couple of events for my next competition in November. 15 inch deadlifts are going to be an interesting new challenge, as is sandbag loading. Here's a particularly lacklustre loading of a 30kg sandbag followed by a 100kg sled drag. Couldn't have moved much more slowly between the two if I'd tried. Think I might need a nap this afternoon! #tired #postcomp #recovery #strongwoman #strongman #strength #sundaygymday

[PERSPECTIVE] When I first saw this photo what I saw was failure. The event that I failed to score a point on. The thing I couldn't do. Today a friend saw this photo and said "wow, just wow - look at you. You look all 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider'. It's an amazing photo - I'd be posting that everywhere if I were you" I looked again and saw the photo through her eyes. I saw the focus, the grit, the determination, the shoulder definition that's testament to a lot of hard work in the gym. The 44 year old in short shorts not giving a damn. The strongwoman who put herself out there to compete alongside the best knowing that she might well come last but had something to prove to herself. A totally different perspective! (Still don't quite see Lara Croft mind 😉) #perspective #throughdifferenteyes #strongwoman #BritainsStrongestWoman
