Quiana Welch broke the American Record in the Snatch with 108kg/238# in the 75kg/165# class on her way to Gold in the total at the American Open Championships.

“Pancaked Good Mornings” from Sasha Nievas (58kg) and Joana Palacios (63kg) from Argentina. You won’t catch me doing these because I don’t have the mobility to maintain a neutral spine, but it’s so crazy to see lifters that do.

Thank you to everyone who has messaged and who watched the webcast while I was going through a real rough patch. Your support means so much to me.

From the “Somewhere in China there’s a little girl warming up with your max” folder. Here is rep 3 of a 140kg back squat triple by 14 yo Luo Xiaoling (58kg). She did multiple sets at this weight in China’s National Training Base aka ‘Champion Factory’. This was during her afternoon session, she had snatched, deadlifted, and pulled in the morning session.
