[IT'S OFFICIAL!] My place at the @worldheavyeventsassociation 2019 World Championships has been confirmed. I'm going to Finland! 🇫🇮 The events look great and all well within my reach: 1. Truck pull 😁😁😁 2. 150kg frame carry 3. 50kg log for reps 4. 70kg sandbag carry for distance The top 6 from Day 1 go through to day 2 1. Max deadlift 2. Crucifix hold 6kg 3. Loading medley and tyre flip I've got 13 weeks to be the strongest, fastest, best version of me I can be. Here's the plan: ⭐Follow my rehab plan and get my back totally healed. All being well reintroduce deadlifts and squats from August. ⭐I'm aiming to drop a couple of kilos of fat with the help of @shannonsnutrition. I'm going to sharpen up on the quality of my food intake, it's pretty good already but extra fruit and veg in place of processed snacks will never be a bad thing. I'm also going to cut down on alcohol. I only drink a couple of times a week but again a little less wine in my life won't hurt for a few months. ⭐I will follow my programme from @strengthcoach_london to the letter. He's got me this far and I have absolute faith that his programming will get me as ready as I can possibly be for October. ⭐I'm making a commitment to do some kind of mobility or pre-hab work every single day. This not very exciting or glamorous stuff is AS IMPORTANT as lifting for me. I know this and I need to keep getting it done. ⭐Regular trips to my Sports therapist to make sure that any niggles get dealt with before they turn into injuries ⭐Get enough sleep and stay hydrated. These things make SUCH a difference to how I feel and perform ⭐Make time each week for some mindfulness work - this really helped me in the run up to Brits This isn't hugely different to how I prepped for England's or Brits but writing it all down and sharing it will keep me focused! Let's do this! #strongwoman #strongman #bnsf #whea #Finland2019 #masters #nattyoldwoman

[LOG] Events for @worldheavyeventsassociation #usworldchampionships 2019 have been announced and I'll be seeing quite a lot of the log over the coming 12 weeks. First session this week and it was good to be back. Log in sets of 6 from 30kg to 40kg. First go at floor press - all fine until I got stuck under 30kg and @skorpion_fitness had to come to my rescue. Finished off with some lateral raises because that's what @strengthcoach_london said. Happy with the other events, plenty to work on but it all feels well within my reach. Just need my back to settle down so I can deadlift again, but plenty to be working on until then. #strongwoman #strongman #bnsf #masters #natty #nattyoldbird #worlds

[BALLS AND BANDS] More rehab and assistance work today - including stretching out tight quads and hip flexors on the ball - my face says it all. Some band work for lats and glutes. Feeling very tired after 2 nights of broken sleep but once again better for getting my body moving. #rehab #prehab #strongwoman #strength #strongman #strong #masters

[MOVING[ Felt good to be moving again this morning. Some rehab stuff to start followed by body weight squats, step ups and lunges followed by a bit of modified log and some push press. Nothing major just good to get my body moving again after a busy week at work with more time sitting down than normal. #strongwoman #strongman #strong #rehab #bnsf #masters

[PIRIFORMIS] 🍑 I saw my sports therapist last night and her verdict is that I've strained my piriformis. It's a muscle in the glute area that's involved in all sorts of things and can put pressure on the sciatic nerve when it's grumpy. A proper pain in the arse! 🍑 Some unhappy tendons around my hips are also adding to the pain party and the potential cause of the referred pain in my quads. 🍑 She thinks it's not too serious but has given me some lower body rehab to do - just bodyweight at the moment. No deadlifting or squatting for a couple of weeks. 🍑 World's is over 3 months away so I'm not worrying at all. A couple of weeks to fix this and rebuild my confidence will mean I'm ready to hit my World's programme full on once the events are announced. 🍑 Already looking forward to getting back to the gym this weekend for some pressing and back work as well as the rehab - my body is ready to get moving again. #masters #strongwoman #strongman #strong #womenwholift #BNSF #piriformis #downbutnotout

[FOCUS] One of the things I am most proud of about Saturday is that I didn't let my set back in the deadlift affect the rest of my performance. ⚡A couple of years ago I zeroed the first event at a competition, it totally got in my head and affected me for the rest of the day. ⚡But not on Saturday. In the last year I've spent time learning about mindfulness and meditation. First with @juliabfit through her Unity programme and more lately with the @headspace app. I've learned how to bring my mind back to a point of focus rather than let it run away with itself. ⚡So although I was in pain following the deadlift and at one point wondered if I'd be able to do any of the other events, I kept my mind from spending too long on the worst case scenario and brought it back to a point of focus and calm. One of the other competitors even noticed how calm I was and wanted to know my secret! ⚡I really do credit my mind as much as my body for my overall performance on Saturday and will be building time into my prep for Worlds to work on my mental strength just as much as my physical. #focus #meditation #mindfulness #strongwoman #strength #strongman #strong #masters #natty
