This April, I competed at CPU Nationals, placing second in the 63kg open category with an 825 lb total, just one pound behind first place. With the guidance of Steve Goggins, I am in pursuit of greatness, both on and off the platform.

Saturday Deadlift

This was a toughie, I had really hurt my forearm on Thursday walking into a long door handle that got lodged between the two bones. I'm a huge clutz... anyways, my grip gave out on me at the top of my first rep at 330, so I dropped it and reset instead of doing touch and go. This was frustrating for me, but I had to move on.
