FLORIDA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS 🏋🏽‍♀️🌴

83KG / 183LB

i’m so happy. 🥹

this was such a FUN weekend and such a good competition for me. it’s been a minute since i’ve had a meet where i felt like i was really pushing for some heavier numbers again.

pushing yourself to be better than you were is underrated because that shit is HARD 😂 i’ve been working my butt off, and the best part is i feel like we’ve only just begun this climb. i’m excited, i’m enjoying it, and i can’t wait to keep pushing and see where we can go.

weightlifting is such a small community, and weekends like this remind me how much i LOVE it. getting everyone together to lift some heavy weight, laugh, have fun, cheer each other on, and just be together is pretty freaking special. 🫶🏽

States 2026 is in the books!!! 💪🏽🔥

love you all 🫰🏼

94kg in the back felt heavy.

Heavy enough that for a second, my mind went exactly where an athlete’s mind goes — *oh shit. Is this too heavy today?*

We adjusted, stayed conservative with my opener, and went out at 97kg.

I love these two videos together because they’re such a good reminder of how quickly we can let one feeling change what we believe we’re capable of.

94 felt heavy. That was real.

But it didn’t suddenly erase the training that came before it. It didn’t mean I wasn’t prepared. And it didn’t get to decide what happened next.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing the difference between listening to your body and letting one moment get in your head.

You can acknowledge how something feels without letting that feeling become the story.

Trust the work you’ve already done.
