[PROGRESS] Just 5 months ago I started working on my back squat following my injury in early 2018. I started from the basics with just 40kg on the bar building back not just my strength but also my confidence. The squats that @strengthcoach_london has programmed for me scare me a bit on paper, but so far I've managed them all, to a reasonable depth (for me). Tonight for the first time in a while I realised how far I've come. My first working set of 4 was at over my body weight. My top set shown here was at 92.5kg - the most reps I've ever done over 90kg. These aren't big or remarkable numbers in the world of strongwoman but they are big and remarkable for this 45 year old who this time last year was still rehabbing post injury. #strongwoman #progress #backsquat #strong #strength #strongerbytheweek
[EVENTS] The weather couldn't decide what it was doing this morning. I had sun, rain, cloud, wind and even a bit of hail while I was training this morning (watch the bottom right of the yoke video carefully and you'll see it). This week is volume week. @strengthcoach_london told me it might feel like a deload. It did on the yoke which was light and speedy but 3 x 6 reps of stones (not shown) felt pretty damn challenging! Really happy with how the yoke press is coming along. Technique is improving and I did 3 x 6 @42.5kg today missing only 1 rep along the way. 7 weeks until comp day so still plenty of time to work on this, and everything else. #strongwoman #strongman #bnsf #esw #masters #strength #strong
[SQUATS FOR BREAKFAST] My schedule this week has meant that I needed to fit a session in this morning so at 7:45am I was in the gym doing squats and prowler runs. I now remember why I don't usually lift first thing - it's hard! My body took ages to warm up, my depth wasn't there for a few sets while my body adjusted to squatting my own body weight less than an hour after getting out of bed 🙄 I have also remembered why I don't film myself squatting face on - my facial expressions 😂😂😂 #squats #strongwoman #strongman #strength
[CYCLE 1 = DONE] That's heavy week and Cycle 1 complete. Much happier with the timing of my training this week. Final session was push press, log press, deadlifts and Romanian deadlifts. Notes going over to @strengthcoach_london this afternoon - interested to see what Cycle 2 has in store #strongwoman #strongman #log #deadlifts #overhead #strong
[PERSONAL BEST] My first overhead PB in a while. 2kg added to my yoke press and comp weight nailed. Did a total of 6 reps in the session. I think my new @cerberus_strength elbow sleeves helped for sure! #PB #yokepress #strongerbytheweek #strong #strongwoman #strongman
[INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY] Here's just a few of the beautiful, brave, fearless, strong, determined, compassionate women I am lucky to have in my life. #IWD2019 #internationalwomensday #women
