Kathy’s back and killing it on these deficit deadlifts and squats — that depth on her squats is 🤌🏾♥️✨ especially after a totally knee replacement and a slipped disc.

Also, wishing Kathy an early 79th birthday! She’s a beast and who I aspire to move like when I’m in my young 70s. 💪🏾🥰 by @ashleystrength621

Just wanted to showcase another strong client, who also happens to be family now. Mike is 78, has two ruptured lumbar discs, and a complete tear in the long head biceps brachii muscle that couldn’t be repaired.

I challenge all of my clients to the best of their ability, so I regress some exercises depending upon individual capabilities, and we progress from there. Mike is becoming more confident in performing this very advanced exercise on the GHR by himself and I’m so proud. 💪🏾🥰 by @ashleystrength621

I fucking love my job. I love making people stronger and helping them to move better. Kathy will be 79 in a couple of weeks and look at her perform these perfect hanging knee raises! This makes my heart so happy. by @ashleystrength621

When I tell you I love my job! Kathy’s back at deadlifting and squatting like she never stopped.

Strength is for everyone. Not everyone is going to be doing movements like these, but resistance training is so important, especially as we age and especially for women, as we tend to lose bone mass the older we get.

I implore all of y’all to make some form of resistance training part of your lifestyle. Your body and your health will thank you for it. ♥️ by @ashleystrength621

I’m super excited. I randomly got to train a friend and client from Cali. It was so nice to hang out with someone from home and get to do what I love at the same time.

It was great to see you, @brandchez! And thank you for reminding me why I love training people so much. @monsesservin I SO WISH you could’ve come out, too!! 💪🏾😄 by @ashleystrength621

Want to watch me claw my way back to being strong? I’m feeling extremely untrained and finally getting over what seems to be my yearly respiratory crud, but it felt good to get back under the bar.

It also feels fucking incredible to be a strength coach and personal trainer again. As I try to grow my business in northwest Arkansas and because my priorities have shifted, I don’t know if I’m going to compete again anytime soon, but I’m going to train like I will be. Feels like I’ve got a missing part of myself back … and that feels amazing.

Waist is down an inch. Quads are at 26.5 … thinking I want them back up at 29 inches again. Trying to do that without heavy squatting or deadlifting is just not as fun, but I gotta whittle this waist down. 🤔 Gonna have to grow the 🍑 a lot more, too … and I dunno, it’s just not as fun as powerlifting. by @ashleystrength621

Hahaha, thought I’d stay light weight, high rep. Fuck that. Back to lifting heavy. 😄 by @ashleystrength621

Hey guys! I know a lot of you follow me for my powerlifting and heavy lifts. I don’t foresee another powerlifting competition anywhere in the near future because life is lifing and my priorities are changing — but my love of lifting has not, so l’m focusing on other goals.

First, I’d like to lose weight. I’m down 6lbs from 180 in the past two months, and I’d like to cut to about 160-165lbs, without losing too much muscle mass.

Second is to decide whether or not I want to try bodybuilding. I’m heavily leaning towards the wellness category (of course I am; you’ve seen these quads! 😳), but I’d have to lose much more weight because I have so much muscle mass, and I’m not entirely sure that’s the route I want to go. I do know I don’t want to put on more upper body size, so my options are pretty limited. But for now, I’m gonna see how much I can shape shift.

Thanks for tuning in and coming to my TEDTalk. I appreciate you guys and your support. 💪🏾😄♥️ by @ashleystrength621

Added this to my story but decided to make it an actual post. I’m so proud of how far these guys have come, their work ethic, and their attitudes.

I’m also incredibly proud of the men they’re becoming — thank you for letting me be a second mom to you and trusting me to help you reach your goals. Let’s keep going! #proudmamabear

Just a reminder that strength is for everyone. Virtual client @monsesservin out here, deadlifting for the first time after a major injury sidelined her over three years ago.

Ericka, you remind me of why I do what I do. Thank you for trusting me to help you build strength and technique! Onwards and upwards from here. 💪🏾♥️✨ by @ashleystrength621
