    Ooosh great to see another gal doing strongwoman on here. Best wishes for comp. Are you a powerlifter?

    Yes! Relatively new powerlifter, In the past I was focused on bodybuilding, but then my show got canceled last May, due to Covid and I switched into PWL, two meets in and I’m hooked.

    This is however my first attempt at a Strongman event.... the meet is an Autism event and I’m competing in my sons name. I was able to put together, a team of 6 and a nutrition company is sponsoring us (Team Alex 😭) I’m excited, but my current numbers are close to the requirements just not quite there yet. I’m scared I won’t qualify, imagine putting this whole team together and then having to tell them all sorry I didn’t make it 😫 I apologize for the long winded answer 🤣

    I think this is awesome. I love the idea of laying it all out there and betting on the one sure thing, yourself. On top of that, your cause makes it even better. You have a fan 😁

    You have multiple fans! Good luck! :smile:

    You will find in the strongman/woman community, we big each other up, no matter what...you have this and the effort just to train differently is inspiring and commendable in and of itself...kudos for doing all three disciplines....go you! You have a rooter and tooter right here in the UK. You rawk and roll lady : )

    Im my own biggest critic. More legs used in this row than I’d have liked and I should have worn my belt but 295 felt good. Backed down the next set to be a bit more strict.

    295 is impressive. This is one of my favorite lifts.

    Not a gif, cuz boxing GIFs suck. So I'm breaking my rules and throwing in a vid.

    https://youtu.be/Rb_dzNghtiQ

    Awesome session boxing, with abs that followed. This video was taken at the end, so I was moving slower and already pretty tired. But still... Amazing cardio and strength workout all in one.

    This looks so satisfying, I feel like I need this to channel some of my mom rage 😂🤣 great job you’re so awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    This is my current routine. The abs and cardio work is done on the days between.

    You have 5x5 on the leg press. I am familiar with more volume normally. How do you like the 5x5? great program.

    I am enjoying the 5x5. Over the last year or so I have focused more on volume trying in general. Tomorrow will start my 3rd week of this new 5x5 cycle. I’ve been 5x5 on leg press for some time though. In my last program I was actually doing sets of 30 on squats to push volume and the 5x5 on leg press. If you’ve never tried the sets of 30 on squats I recommend it. 30 deep reps of moderate weight is a great time under tension technique.

    It's amazing when you're feeling all the feelings... Anger, rage, sadness. It's not about picturing someone on the bag, or hurting the bag instead of someone... At least it never has been for me. Instead it's almost a transferrance of emotion / stress / energy into the bag that leaves me lighter and happier (and exhausted) at the end.

    I am a super huge fan!

    Haha yep! Rules are made to be stretched! I shared a gif on earlier pages and it just looks so weird and choppy... Plus... The sound is what makes it so satisfying. 😊 Thanks!

    There's nothing better (when boxing) than a solid connection with that sound to follow. It feels soooo good!
