Achieve Strength

Week 2 of Worlds Prep. I condensed Squats and Deads Weds as I had a long day of driving on Tueaday. Shoulder was still giving me jip, but managed to get it taped up by Andy Lynch | Strength Coach + Sports Massage . So bench felt good on Friday. I have also added back in elements of OPUS ATHLETIC® program. So cleans, sprints and plyos will be done, just for some fun things to do. And hopefully still playing at strongwoman.

Past 3 weeks lifting. Usual drop in confidence when squatting setting in. Flung my shoes on last week, hammy issue decided it was nearly my time. Repeated it again this week and feeling better. Bench moving fine. Hammy issue mainly affected deadlifts couple of weeks ago, but this week everything but that was the issue 😂

2 weeks to go, then a family holiday and one week to make sure weight is good in all areas.

.fit South Lanarkshires Strongest. I earned 3rd place alongside 3 other strong ladies. and and . My 1st strongwoman comp in a few years as I didn't have a powerlifting comp to prep for. It was also great to lift alongside 2 other members and . Had a great day, no real aim apart from hoping for one rep of sandbag, but not to be. Back broken today, with normal lifting service resuming for British Full Power in August with 2 holidays in between.

WDFPF World Champs 2025. Another fab day, with friends and new friends. Didn't get off to the best start, squats just weren't good enough. Squeaky bum on last squat to stay in the game. Bench was okay, missed 2nd lift of 80kg. And then made it look easy on 3rd. Deadlift is always there for me, went for a .5kg increase on my WR, close but no cigar. Enough to retain my title and earn 2nd best lifter. Thanks to all the officials and spotters/loaders
