Hey māmā, just a reminder that your tinana (body) and puku (stomach) is welcome on this silly little app too.

So are your tiger stripes and stretched skin 🐯 as is your your c-section “shelf” or your distatis recti (abdominal separation).

You don’t have to hide yourself here, or at the gym (nau mai! @whenuafit 💚🖤) or in any spaces in real life IMO.

Speaking of life … your tinana grew one (or maybe 2 or 3…). And may have even feed, nourished and sustained life too.

Your body performed a literal miracle!

So kaua e whakamā i to tinana, e wāhine mā!

Keep showing up as you are in all spaces

Kaua e wareware/ Don’t forget that those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.

Tino ataahua koe 🤎

To my whānau and friends - one guess as to which tamaiti/child is in the last slide 💀

Welcome to 1am.

Eczema has woken my son 5 times already.

I predict another 5 to go before the full moon sleeps.

Nights like these it’s easier to not close my eyes at all. A decision that’s normal for me now after 2 years, and one I’ve surrendered too.

People ask where I’ve been, but I don’t know how to say with all its meaning “right here, where I’m meant to be and where I’m needed most.”

See you in the mōrena, taku tama. And a few times before that too 🧡 Got you always.

No one asked, but if you wanna know my stance, the answer is: next to this man. Ten toes down. Even when we disagree (which if you know us, we are absolutely not afraid to do 😂😂). by @tolz_64army

When i first started lifting, it wasn’t common for wāhine (women) to shift tin, be seen as strong or physically athletic, because these spaces were typically male dominated.

Thats said with no hate, it’s just the way it was.

There were whole FB pages dedicated to woman who could backsquat 100kg because it was so rare.

Now we see woman squat cleaning that regularly for reps. #shesquatsbro i believe was the hashtag 😂

I know plenty of wāhine who can even bench triple digits. That’s dope!

We hope our time in the game in our little corner of te ao has played a part in helping wāhine step into their potential and their strength - without shame, or the need to fit into a box. Not just in the gym, but in life.

“the goal costs what it costs. Pay it or stop pretending you want it.”

Strength going up, edging closer to 100 clicks ⬆️ while BW staying the same 👍🏽 and I heard the @weightliftingnewzealand weight divisions have changed again 👀 hmmmm let’s see what 2027 brings hay. Coz I still have to put that weight overhead too 😳😂

Swipe for the pikitia that started #64ARMY 9years ago.

When posting the photo, I hashtagged 64ARMY because that’s what came to mind when I looked at this pikitia of amazing community members lined up wearing +64. Komi said something along the lines of “I think you’re on to something there” and the rest is history.

Any suggestions on an ingoa hou welcome!

Those endless nights watching your pēpis chest rise and fall. Watching them to make sure they’re still breathing. Holding your own breath as you wait for them to take their next one. by @tolz_64army

My PIC getting me through my first squat session in years. Also pulled out my old belt this wiki. Literally had dust on it 🤭 Looks like these pins may have some juice left in them after all 🍗
