Little man is training hard with his parents this AM. #livefitlovefood #souninterested #strengthguild #strengthguildprogramming

Four days later and I am still beyond excited about my 300 lb pull! Next up 350 😎😎💪🏽😎😎 #livefitlovefood #strengthguild #strengthguildprogramming #girlswholift #bestself #deadlift #fitmom #strongerthanever #PR #prlifts (at Strength Guild Topeka)

Just a small sampling of our #sundaymealprep 😋 Bacon-Wrapped Pork & Apple Meatloaf Sandwiches, and Bork & Cheese Burritos both for the hard-gainer in the family. Lucky guy! Chicken Parmesan Meatballs w. Whole Wheat Pasta & Marinara for me, and Cheeseburger Macaroni for the kids. It's gonna be a good week! #livefitlovefood #foodprep #bestself #fitmom #strengthguild #iifym #macros #weightlifting #powerlifting #lift

It feels good to have a good day! Went 10 for 10 on my #snatch AND 10 for 10 on #cleanandjerk The weight on the bar is nothing to write home about, but consistency is a huge issue for me. So today was pretty friggin monumental!! #livefitlovefood #oly #olympiclifting #strengthguild #strengthguildweighlifting #bestself #lift #fitmom #weightlifting (at Hess Garage Gym)

163# max lift to go with my snatch PR. My form is definitely an issue but I'm pretty proud of the 10# I added to my C&J. 😊

Another day going for max lifts! I hit a 15# PR!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 Snatched 128#, and very happy about my progress. (at Hess Garage Gym)

My actual PR. I forget IG cuts vids to 15 sec. 😁 First time going for max OH squats this morning. Pretty fun stuff! Getting the bar overhead is the hardest part for me. I have no idea if that's a typical thing. Regardless I was able to max out at 155# 😄👏🏽💪🏽 I almost didn't get it, but I fought thru it! 😤😤😤 lifts: 123# | 133# | 145# | 155# #livefitlovefood #lift #PR #oly #olympiclifting #strengthguild #strengthguildweighlifting #ohsquat #bestself #weightlifting #fitmom # (at Hess Garage Gym)

Lunchtime fun. My new indoor alternative for a rainy lunch break. Nothin like a few good handstand walks to get the blood flowing again. ☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️ #livefitlovefood #shoulders #handstandwalk #strengthguild #strengthguildweighlifting #oly #bestself #getmoving (at Stamina Products Inc)

Another PR day in the books! I'm mildly disappointed in my performance....Just wasn't feelin' it today. But I did add 15 lbs to my #deadlift and #bench hitting 285 and 165. My goal was 300 and 175, I WILL get it next time. #determined #livefitlovefood #strengthguildprogramming #strengthguild #strengthguildweighlifting #bestself #fitmom #PR #progress #olympiclifting #oly #ironradio # (at Hess Garage Gym)

It's been months since my squats have been programmed more than 210 lbs. I thought for sure I was losing strength, and just getting fatter and slower. I wondered if I would ever be able to hit more than my last PR of 245, and I worried my commitment to learning Oly was a detriment to my powerlifting 😕 I did my best to ignore those negative thoughts. Instead I reminded myself that there was a bigger picture to look towards, and to just trust the process. Well, it paid off! This AM I hit a 30lb #PR squatting 275!!! 😄👏🏽💪🏽 I may not jump up and down, scream, smile, clap, or freak out, but I am beyond excited, elated, and going f#€$ing crazy on the inside 😜 I CANNOT WAIT to see what I can do next! #trusttheprocess #mycoachisagenius #squats #pr #oly #powerlifting #weightlifting #olympiclifting #fitmom #strengthguild #ironradio #bestself

Playing whack-a-mole with my #snatch training this AM. 😡 I'd correct one thing, then another problem would pop up! Consistently inconsistent and extremely frustrated! 😤💩 Its taking everything in me to dwell on the positive by reminding myself that I did #deadlift 255x4, 3, 3 | #bench 120x10 | 120x20 bent over rows and pulled a 130lb #sled for 5 minutes right after. So at least there's that. 😐#livefitlovefood #oly #olympiclifting #bestself #strengthguild #patience #determination #icandoit #weightlifting

MY OVEN STOPPED WORKING!! 😩😳🙀 Its a grilled #foodprep for us today. I'm really glad it sunny and nice! It's only 90 degrees or so🔥☀️🔥 #lovesummer #livefitlovefood #bestself #sundaymealprep #mealprep #Macros #strengthguild #igetanewoven 😄

It's been about 8 weeks since I started training #oly Its challenging moreso because of the learning I'm having to do as opposed the lbs I'm lifting. There is so much to think about for each pull! 😤 I was hoping my snatch to be better than it is at this point. 😕 I'm trying to have patience! My max #snatch is at 113 lbs and #cleanandjerk is 153 lbs. 😊 My brain hasn't quite got the hang of kg yet, but I'm working on it! Today I went for 98x1x8 snatch but only got 5 of 8. BUT for C&J my goal was 138x1x8 and I got 7 of 8. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #roomtoimprove #livefitlovefood #olympiclifting #strengthguild #bestself #strengthguildweighlifting #weightlifting #determined
