It wasn’t the performance I had hoped for considering the totals I’ve been putting up in training…but beyond blessed to be in the room having started powerlifting in February. There wasn’t anything that went wrong per say except my squats didn’t feel like mine & I was so nervous 😁 Thankfully the nerves subsided for a great bench and deadlift day even though bench was the lift I was most nervous about in prep lolllll. (Should’ve been squat apparently). I learned so much from this meet and am excited to ramp up for Costa Rica in 2 months. This month has been FILLED with huge life changes that will make training even easier and allow the kilos to stack up greater so I’m excited for that. @vin.kenmorebarbell yay 🥳🥳

@jeff.frank I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to you and the whole Team USA staff. Couldn’t have done it without you ❤️

@ruby.shepardd just hit a massive PR 182.5 kg/402lb Back Squat!
.
@ryangrimsland yesterday and Ruby today. Now Rock Mash this evening 6P MT/8P EST and then tomorrow we start our vacation.
.
It’s a big deal when a female squats over 400lb, and @ruby.shepardd did it with plenty to spare.

There is tremendous sacrifice to be made for your goals and it doesn’t start and end with the effort you put into the barbell. You can only work as hard as your body permits you to and sometimes it needs a minute to breathe too. I really struggle with finding the time to rest my body more than I work it but I have to figure I’m not the only one who feels this way 🥲🫶 taken in Fort Collins, Colorado by @ruby.shepardd
