Little Lifter, Big Gainz

Finally managed to get myself to the gym this morning and do more work than just sitting on the bike. Did 6x3 defect deadlifts at 45kg, although this one in the video is 50kg but it hurt my stomach to much to stick to. Been struggling to get in to workout with pain, but hopefully soon I will be getting sorted. . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift #strongwoman #defecitdeadlift #endofit #endometriosis https://www.instagram.com/p/B7k25aJjHCj/?igshid=b5y4se1fzev1

Today is one of those days where I wish I was back in my van and exploring Scandinavia again. Missing it. Cant wait for the weather to get better so I can go on trips in Olga again. . . . #travel #norway #campervan #vanconversion #scandinavia https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Vbig5DbPD/?igshid=ujwnzhx5iglo

So happy, today in our boxes in-house comp I got a new PB in deadlift. 100kg!! Finally in the triple digits! 💪 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5NtHu2JSne/?igshid=15r5l6znji19d

I needed this win! With how ill I've been feeling these past two months, and how much my progress has slowed. I needed something to make me feel better about myself. Managed to get a new 1RM PB in my bench press, 47kg which is 5kg more than my previous. It also seems that bench press is the lift that hurts the least for me at the moment, so yay. . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift #endofit #endometriosis #benchpress https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LDAEcjd8n/?igshid=1jsm2oh9u57mv

I really enjoyed 20.1 I scaled it to 15kg as I knew this would hurt my stomach, but still enjoyed it. Managed all reps, just, ish. Also I was totally over dramatic when the WOD finished 🤣 . . Thank you @still.angelina for coming to cheer me on and waft me with the board afterwards. . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift #20.1 #endofit #endometriosis https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fJQZlp5lV/?igshid=79mkqxzsaz5u

Quite enjoyed today's workout. 50 hang squat cleans. The first video are my warm up reps and I went very very deep and spinal 🤣 but the actual workout went better. It hurt though, a lot. I was mostly okay until about rep 30 and then the pain kicked in. But I survived! Just. . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cqoh8pP0X/?igshid=lscglogwzsju

I love me some dumbbells, especially if it its dumbbell snatches! And I enjoyed them from the hang more than I was expecting. . . . #fitness #crossfit #dumbbells #hangsnatch #endofit https://www.instagram.com/p/B3XmVqcj5Es/?igshid=1qhq4onqqk1ey

After a horribly painful couple of weeks I'm trying to get back into squatting and hinge type movements in the gym. Yesterday we did a 10 min EMOM of 5 overhead squats. I tried keeping it a bit light at 18kg so I didn't aggravate my stomach. I quite like overhead squats so glad I did it. . After we did 3 rounds for time 25 box jumps 25 DB snatches . I did it in 7:28 I started with box jumps but the impact seemed to really hurt my stomach so I changed to step ups. And did 10kg DB snatches which felt light. But again in the hope not to hurt myself too much. . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift #endofit #endometriosis #overheadsquat https://www.instagram.com/p/B3L06LADShQ/?igshid=4gr1joaagean

Some lovely photos of the comp in Hull we did. Oh boy do I pull some brilliant faces 🤣🤣🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/B27O2tLDpBL/?igshid=1wyp4782mmrmy

I have to admit I've been feeling a bit bit deflated recently. Earlier on my memories it showed me training for a strong woman competition. I was at my fittest, healthiest and happiest. But recently I feel like I've gotten backwards. I've put on weight, my progress in the gym feels like it's stopped, and my health has been not its best. . Today for the first time, I was actually too scared to go to the gym so I cancelled. Dumbbell snatches and HSPUs, two of my favourite movements. But because of how my endo/bowel/god-knows-what has been recently, I was too scared to go. I couldn't even bring myself to go and super scale and adapt it, in fear of making myself worse. And I hate it. I feel like all the progress I've made the past two years is just going down the drain and I'm not sure what to do. I'm just a bit lost. . Tomorrow is buddy WOD so I will make sure to go to that, as I love a good buddy WOD. But I'm already anxious about how my body will react with it. 😞 . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift #strongwoman #endometriosis #endofit https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zOvWZDsWm/?igshid=1c3le6fd2a1ya

Managed a new 1RM clean and jerk today. 47kg, which was 5kg more than my previous. It felt quite good, seems a bit fast and a bit messy on the video though 🤔 Still happy with it though . Need to really start working on getting rid of that holiday belly 😂 . . . #fitness #crossfit #womenwholift #strongwoman #endofit #endometriosis #cleanandjerk #olylifting https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FDPkYDkFC/?igshid=qbc4j0n8ewz
