SWIPE 4️⃣ MEET DAY ➡️ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀S 242.5lb / B 115.5lb / D 303lb
“Blessed” doesn’t even begin to cover how I am feeling. From prep to peak and everything in between, this was built on having the right people in my corner.

Huge THANK YOU to my coach @kingkongkaiden for dialing everything in and making this possible, and @justcalllmejess who was the absolute PERFECT handler (even when it meant hand feeding me danishes 😂)

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who showed up, tuned in on the livestream, texted, screamed, and cheered.. you have no idea how much that meant to me. EVERY bit of support carried me through. 🙏🏻

Did I red light my third bench? Yep. But I answered back with a deadlift PR that reminded me exactly what I’m capable of. Swipe to the end to see the look I gave my coach when I decided to deviate from the plan to hit that 303lb deadlift 😅

I am empowered. I am STRONG. And this is only the beginning 👇🏼

🚨 Nationals… we’re coming, and it’s going to be HYPE 🚨

FOEVER grateful for my @kongbarbell_chatham family 🖤 taken in Guelph ON by @gymratthing

➡️ SWIPE 4 DEADZ ➡️The biggest mistake people make in the gym? Creating HABITS that do not match their GOALS. 💯🤯 RELYING on motivation? 💪 It will NOT always be there 👉🏼 LOCK IN on self discipline because (trust me) motivation fades FAST 🥹 Do NOT expect results after 2 weeks.. REAL and lasting results take MONTHS 📉📈 Track your lifts, eat enough protein, progressively OVERLOAD and STOP trying to outwork poor recovery 😴 One missed workout? You do not need to “restart”🤚 Perfection is not an option, but CONSISTENCY is 🙌🏻 How to know you are WINNING in the gym? ➡️ You show up when it’s boring, you push when you don’t feel like it, you choose discipline over excuses and you stay CONSISTENT when no one is watching 🔥💪🏼 Progress is not magic, it is simply HABITS that match your GOALS ♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gymlife #SBD #StrongNotSkinny #curvyandstrong #FitCurves #calvesworkout #calves #girlswholift #canadiangirls #canadianfitness #strengthtraining #powerliftingwomen #legdayvibes

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? 🤯From fad diets to complete starvation, I found myself in a very dark spot in my younger years. Ultimately, I chose to turn to food as a source of dopamine and comfort, I felt it was impossible to keep the weight off anyways.. I hit a whopping 306lbs when it hit me - this is MY body, that I have been given to care for - what AM I DOING?! I shifted my focus from a place of feeling stuck to feeling humbled by the opportunity to to have a body that I am able to take care of. My body has gotten me through many things, sometimes to the point that I question it. I am blessed everyday to wake up healthy. In return, I am able to reward myself by showing up every single day, not just for my “body” but for MYSELF.
It’s not about being motivated, it’s about STAYING disciplined! 👏🏻- Ari ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
