Even if you’re not a strongman competitor, the Atlas Stone’s benefits have carryover to the Big Three. Besides, it’s fun to train something new. So what are you waiting for? Grab an Atlas Stone, heavy med ball, or sandbag so we can get started!

Powerlifting gave me a great foundation for strongman, but I still had to do a lot of training for it. Even though I technically qualified for USS Nationals, I want to make sure I can handle heavier events before I even think about competing.

I’ve competed at nine different national championships across four different weight classes and three different divisions, including both amateur and pro — but I’ve never won. Until now.

Two months ago I made the decision to compete at United States Strongman Nationals with the only goal of qualifying for Pro Women’s World’s in October.
