Today is my last training session before the Arnold’s. In 1 week I will take on the main stage fright and pull my heart out in front of thousands of people. WHY? Because I CAN. I’m not entering this to win, or break a record. I’m joining in on the 21 Deadlift Salute because I want to have fun and because I’m good enough to qualify. That alone is motive enough for me to do my best.

Despite the setbacks on this training cycle I will go and do what I do best and that is “Deadlift”

I washed my suit to tighten it up so today’s session is just getting the suit on and making sure all my ducks are in order. I am feeling my grove and getting my head in the mental space it needs to be. Then 7 complete rest days and I will be main stage ready.

I’m more excited to watch Ken squat 1,000 lbs and see him get his goal.

My elbow and left arm felt way better today, thanks to Dr. Kinakin for his continuous treatments and getting me stage ready.

Huge thanks to Clint Darden for his continued support and coaching throughout these past few months. His knowledge and ability to help someone as much as he helped me is priceless. One of the best online coaches out there.

Also to the Outlaw crew for their help whether it big or small, critiquing my form, loading my plates or giving a tip that is a game changer. Thank you to Clint, Dmitry, Paul, Matt, Pietro, Carri, Andrea, Shantel, Barry and the rest of the crew.

Huge thanks to my hubby and partner in crime Ken for his continued support and encouragement. Also for putting up with my set backs and keeping me moving forward instead of feeling sorry for myself and quitting. I could not do what I do without you.

That’s all folks, catch you at the Arnold’s, thanks for following my journey.
