Fantastic accomplishment! How long did you train for this competition? Did you use a trainer or did you follow a program on your own? I am interested in getting into power lifting but not sure where to start.0

I didn't train specifically for this comp. I hurt my knee (running for coffee) in March, so I've been working around that.
I do have a trainer, he's fantastic, you don't need one... But if you've not lifted before, it's an excellent way to get your form checked and increase your confidence.
StrongLifts, NROLFW or the Girls Gone Strong programs are all good starting points.0 -

Great pics and inspiration! I'm toying with the idea of real strength training now that I've lost too much weight. I am becomming a Zumba instructor and don't have a lot of time for another pursuit, but I figure I have to do something every day, anyway, so it would take much change in my schedule to swap a cardio class for an hour of strength training.0

Resistance training is really important as we age, it keeps your bones strong.0 -

Fantastic! I'm so delighted to see this post, and for you.
I'm a big girl lifting too - I decided to give it a try when I joined a gym earlier this year, and it was love at first lift.0 -
Ms. Deeva!!
I don't know how I missed this, but it's the best thing I've read all day! Congrats, and you're seriously fantastic.
PS: It was you that inspired me to start lifting. You were so open about the process that I was inspired to give it a go. So THANK YOU! My life has changed. Seriously.
