@usamasterswl Masters Nationals Recap! I am so proud of myself and my entire team for absolutely killin’ it last week! It was a fantastic 5 days in Baton Rogue (minus, of course, the over 7 hour weather delay getting there Wednesday) and I can’t believe how far I’ve come in 10 months of training. SNATCH 2/3 49kg ✅ 52kg ✅ 54kg ❌ (would have been a comp and all time PR) CLEAN & JERK 2/3 58kg ✅ 61kg (comp PR!) ✅ 64kg ❌ by majority (would have been a comp and all time PR) TOTAL 113kg (+3kg in 4 weeks!) Thank you to everyone who tuned into the livestream and cheered me on (Mom @keenangirl, Dad @jim.powers.75098, @alexisthestylist888, @dandme325, @_shel.byyy_, @mimibarnabe, and everyone else!), for my team in the back room (@siany.maree, @seanwelchsd, @cab2323, and @malie56), my teammates in the audience (@sunticize with the epic videos here, @the_horror_josh for his videos and voice), and the rest of the team back home. And of course, I wouldn’t be where I am today without you, Wes @west_coast_weightlifting. Your coaching and commitment to your athletes is second to none; you have been there for me since I joined and gone through some tough ass shit and you’ve made the gym a refuge. How you know just what I need—whether it’s some tough love and “just get it done” attitude or to just sit and listen to me babble—I’ll never know but I appreciate you more than you may know. As always, I’m grateful and thankful for Dr. Jason and @sportsperformancept for keeping my body healthy so I can give it my all on the platform. ❤️ #westcoastweightlifting #usamw #mastersathlete #mastersnationals #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting #womenwholift #womenwhoweightlift #snatch #clean #powerjerk #cleanandjerk #mastersofstrength
8 days until I’m back on the platform, this time in Baton Rouge, LA for @usamasterswl Masters Nationals.

SPRING LIFTOFF MEET RECAP! Yesterday was INCREDIBLE! I had an awesome time competing @repmaxperformance Spring Liftoff to kick off my 2024 competition season, and it was so hype—what an amazing environment to lift in with every spectator, volunteer, ref, etc cheering you on. I definitely want to compete there again! My meet goal was survive (as always!), qualify for USAW AO2 (102kg total needed), and aim for 6/6. I set no weight PRs but all of my lifts were comp PRs, and I added 16kg to my total, and I qualified for AO2. Hit 5 of my 6 lifts and felt so good in my mind and body. Just 2 weeks ago I was cleared to jerk after aggravating my right rotator cuff and labrum, and it’s been a mighty mental struggle since then. Training last week was skeeeeeetchy but I pulled it together! SNATCHES • 47kg (+7kg comp PR) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 50kg (+10kg comp PR) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 52kg (+12kg comp PR) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ CLEAN & JERK • 55kg (+5kg comp PR) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 58kg (+8kg comp PR) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 61kg (would have been an 11kg comp PR) 🔴🔴🔴 TOTAL: 110kg (+16kg from HCAM ‘23!) Wes, we’re coming up on a year of me joining the team and you’ve taken me from a baby weightlifter to serious contender on the platform. Your patience with me only rivals Dr. Jason, and you are an incredible coach who handles me with kid gloves when needed but also gives me a swift kick of tough love if necessary. I have needed both in the last few months! Dr. @jasonumali_ and @sportsperformancept thank you for keeping me healthy and getting me back to 100% when I’m hurting. I couldn’t do this sport without your help, from recommending Wes to be my coach to dealing with me hollering for an hour straight 😂 @theclaudiachen and @suzyanna19, THANK YOU for supporting me yesterday!!! From a silly Discord server to IRL friends, we gotta all lift together ASAP and I can’t wait to support you both when you’re on the platform! FINALLY, the biggest of congratulations to my fellow teammates for absolutely SLAYING yesterday and the support from home! We do it again in 4 weeks in Baton Rouge, LET’S GOOOOOO! #westcoastweightlifting #olympicweightlifting #weightlifting #weightliftingmeetrecap #olympicweightlifter #womenwholift
Wes @west_coast_weightlifting would like you all to know that between all these insane PRs tonight, I asked him for more strength building “because ‘iM nOt HiTTinG eNoUgH PrS,’” and I’d like you to know that is FALSE because I want to get faster under the bar for both lifts and have way better technique! It was truly #bigfriday tonight! 49kg snatch and 61kg clean (still out of commission for jerks). The hype was so crazy! Just 3 weeks out until I hit the platform next! #westcoastweightlifting #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting #oly #olylifting #snatch #clean #cleanandjerk #womenwholift #womenwhoweightlift #prs #liftheavy #liftheavyshit
Ol’ faithful back squats keep me loving this sport when my snatches and clean & jerks flail and flounder a bit. 115kg and 120kg for dubs at the end of squat waves. @west_coast_weightlifting #westcoastweightlifting #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting #squat #squats #backsquat #backsquats #snatch #cleanandjerk #olylifting #lift #liftheavy #womenwholift #womenwhoweightlift #masters #mastersathlete #kindafitkindafat #kindafitkindafatapparel
✨ Coach appreciation ✨ It has been 1 year of consistent training with ZERO neurological relapses. 🥳 After countless neurologists told me that I needed to give up the sport of weightlifting both as an athlete and coach… I thought that was it. It was like a part of me died. Yet here we are. Years later, brain and body healed. 1 year no relapses. Endured some crazy injuries thanks to my dog Drax 😂, some terrible life trauma, and still no sign of a relapse. The best part? I have been given the opportunity to have my career back as a coach at my first gym —@asphodel.fit. 🤯 If it weren’t for you Wes, none of these things would have happened because I had accepted my fate. I had given up. However, you gave me hope. Thank you for being my friend and my coach, and most importantly, thank you for continuing to push me past my comfort zone. It’s not a good bye, just a see you later. 👋 I’ll see you in Costs Rica this summer for Master’s Pan Am. 🙃 hopefully this time, I will not be broken. 😂 @west_coast_weightlifting 📸: @snappy_patchy #mastersweightlifting #westcoastelite #westcoastweightlifting #crossfitasphodel #madebyasphodel
What a WILD weekend. I hit 6, 6!!!!! PRs between training Friday and Saturday, got my first rip on my left hand, and then helped paint the gym ~*black*~ along with the rest of the team (props to @natweightlifts.wcw for her scissor lift driving skills). I’m exhausted, sore, and at this time next Sunday I’ll be waiting to compete at the Howard Cohen American Masters meet in Tennessee. @mr_kastner introducing me to our lord and savior Muscle Snatch will never not be funny. Snatch: 43kg (missed in comp), 45, 47 C&J: 52kg, 53, 55 @west_coast_weightlifting #westcoastweightlifting #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting #snatch #musclesnatch #clean #powerclean #cleanandjerk #powerjerk #splitjerk #womenwholift #womenwhoweightlift #womenlifters #liftheavy #liftheavyshit #westcoastelite #mastersweightlifting #mastersweightlifter
What. A. Day. I can now call myself a competitive weightlifter! It was a little wild, a little chaotic, and a lot of fun. The back room is an environment to be experienced, and not having spotters around me on the platform made me feel a little exposed for my first snatch attempt! Even stranger was being on the platform for what felt like 3 seconds, too. That’s all old hat now! SNATCHES - 2/3 • 1st attempt: 35kg ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 2nd attempt: 38kg ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 3rd attempt: 43kg (PR attempt) 🔴🔴🔴 CLEAN & JERK - 3/3 • 1st attempt: 44kg ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 2nd attempt: 48kg ⚪️⚪️⚪️ • 3rd attempt: 51kg (PR!) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ Comp total: 89kg I could not have done this without help from so many people: @jasonumali_ & @sportsperformancept; my coach @west_coast_weightlifting; @siany.maree for assisting/being an absolute rock of calm; my teammates who competed with me @malie56, @sunticize, @seanwelchsd, @kru.gh; the teammates who made the long drive up to LA to cheer us on @mimibarnabe, @sarcasticallysamantha, @tinalke (thank you for the videos!); and all the team who cheered us on even through the livestream meltdown, ha! I love what we have and I appreciate how you’ve all just accepted my weirdo self 110%. Thank you for becoming my family. Big up’s to Mom & Dad for the support all the way back on the East Coast. I can’t wait for you both to come watch me at future meets! 3 weeks until Howard Cohen, I’m ready to grind and post some even bigger numbers! #westcoastweightlifting #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting #firstmeet #firstcomp #snatch #cleanandjerk #weightlifting #weightlifters #weightlifter #womenwholift #womenwhoweightlift #womanweightlifter #liftheavy #liftheavyshit
Felt just like old times working out @sportsperformancept HQ today, where PT = physical training (so now I really need some elbows in my muscles). Spent many an afternoon here with @alexhartspt benching and deadlifting in prep for my first powerlifting meet. Now, @jasonumali_ gets to watch me snatch and squat after setting the foundation for both lifts last year and this year! And having a li’l bit of WCW with @jamrapp_ spotting me and providing some Milky Way Strength while resting was a cherry on top. @west_coast_weightlifting #westcoastweightlifting #sportsperformancept #snatch #temposnatch #backsquat #squat #clean #cleanandjerk #womenwhoweightlift #womenwholift #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting

Hello, I’d like to buy a ticket to PR City, thanks. Added ~10 kgs to my clean yesterday, 38ish kgs/85 lbs —> 48 kgs. As a little treat, you can watch me fail 50 kgs twice. I’ll get that next week. 😏 3 weeks in on @west_coast_weightlifting’s programming and he is sending me TO THE MOON. 🌜 #olympicweightlifting #olympicweightlifter #olylifting #womenwholift #liftheavyshit #clean #cleanandjerk #snatch #westcoastelite #westcoastweightlifting #weightlifting #weightlifter #watchmegrow #crusheverything
Super excited, chuffed, pumped up, all the words for all the happy emotions, to join @west_coast_elite’s Masters Oly team! When I started PT at the beginning of my powerlifting journey, I always said I wanted to cross train with Oly lifts. Then my powerlifting world blew up, and I had my chance to start anew. Thank goodness for Dr. @jasonumali_ @sportsperformancept for getting me started and recommending Wes as a coach. After today’s workout and coaching, I know this is the place for me. Aiming to compete with the team in November at the Howard Cohen Classic in Nashville as my first meet! #westcoastelite #westcoastweightlifting #olympicweightlifting #snatch #cleanandjerk #tyrsport #trashhouseliftco #eastcountybarbell #womenwholift #girlswholift #abouttobejacked
I feel like myself again. 🤍 First week back on a WL program and all I feel is gratitude. Thank you @west_coast_weightlifting for helping me get back on the platform. I’m so excited to see how this journey unfolds. Thank you @coach.natat and @jvezina_ for letting me come lift with your team tonight! Had a great time, and enjoyed being back in this environment again. I guess… I should update my USAW membership. 😅 The body and mind are so resilient. Be sure take care of it. #usaweightlifting #westcoastweightlifting #sanctuarybarbell #hammercrossfit
Meet recap tomorrow. Today I’m just soaking in the passion I have for this sport, the appreciation I have for all my coaches (past and present, fitness and nutrition), and the excitement I feel for the progress that I know lies ahead. @west_coast_weightlifting and I have been working together for about 4 weeks now and it’s incredible to see and feel the technique changes already. I’m pumped to see what we can accomplish together over the next 6 months, next year, next few years. Onward & upward, always! 💪🏼 #olympicweightlifting #weightlifting #usaw #westcoastweightlifting #westcoast #sandiego #california #wso #socal #oly #lifting #lift #coach #athlete #sport #sports #onward #upward #uplift #girlswholift #smile #succeed @californiasouthwso @usa_weightlifting

Consistency is key, and we’re kinda getting there 🤩 I’m actually really enjoying my lower weight technique days, even if they’re frustrating at times. Seeing it all come together is exciting for when we start slinging plates again!

Pretty stoked with how last weekend’s Novice Strongman Comp went. Awesomely fun, friendly, and a well run day by @legendaryliftinggym and @wastrongman . Managed to not die and may have waddled myself into 2nd place at U105. . Events: 1.) Max rep 180kg truck tyre back squat: 12 reps +bonus pavement pizza🤮 2.) 10m 200kg tyre flip into 15m 200kg arm over arm sled pull: a really long time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (no vid) 3.) Rising bar deadlift: 240kg 4.) Overhead medley: 80kg sandbag into 100kg barbell into max rep 100kg log: 2+2 reps 5.) Max rep 120kg sandbag over yoke: just 2 slow-ass reps 😂 . If anyone wants me, I’ll be lying on the floor cuddling a Big Mac. #foreverFoamRolling
220kg for a triple @ RPE = poo-pants minus 0.001 Pretty chuffed 🤘 #foreverFoamRolling #everythinghurtsandimdying
A bit more log work. Didn’t go splat. Good times 🤙

Back on the Farmers. Weak as piss but just happy to be moving. 100kg per hand.

STATIC MONSTERS 2020 @staticmonsters_perth in the bag!! All in all, a great day out with some awesome people, and some insane lifts! Finished with 102.5kg on the log, and a 260kg deadlift 🐼. Pretty stoked given the complete lack of prep 😂 Cheers to @legendaryliftinggym for not only running a well organised and executed competition, but also for their ongoing efforts in supporting mental health awareness 🙏 @beyondblueofficial @innercitycrossfit @westcoastweightlifting

You don't need a face to talk about lifting. (Camera skills seem to wax and wane for me.) . . The muscle snatch is a great movement to play with submaximal weight and development a killer bar path. . . Tension through the body and connection to the barbell. . .
