On August 22nd I competed at the DTS Open placing first in the 63kg open category with an 847 lb total, also winning best female and best squat. I am currently training for the Ontario Provincial Championships to re-qualify for Nationals. With the guidance of Steve Goggins, I am in pursuit of greatness, both on and off the platform.
I'm finally feeling like things are falling back into place strength and energy wise. I had a rough start to the week since travelling drained me, but my workouts never suffered, if fact I felt stronger than I have in a while. One big takeaway from the DMS course last weekend for me was breathing into my belly and creating extra tightness by pushing out as hard as I can. You'll see especially in my bench videos from this week that I am really pushing out and making my belly big for the hand off and trying to keep it through the whole set.
