3 Board Press: 1RMx85lbs - 10 lb PR

I was so excited about the 15 lb PR on the clean & press. That's only the 2nd time in my life to do them, for a 3 rep max, that is.

We both have lots of work to meet our goals. But if we stick to it, we'll be awesome! And, ya know, with our hubbys both being into it - that'll keep us into it even more. I was telling my daddy about my SLDL 145 lbs and he was all concerned for me saying how it can hurt my back and stuff. Its just that society has been taught that females should be small and petite and if you aren't....well you need to try to be.......so i guess that's why we get the funny looks when we work out and people don't understand why that would be our goal......

very nice work, the clean and press is very impressive. don't worry about the general media's opinion since most of the are lard asses anyway. Nothing wrong with a strongwoman!!!

exactly true lord suston....Being strong and healthy I believe shows great mental ability. It takes alot of determination to live a healthy lifestyle when the world around you in full of all the bad things that can tempt us.. I love the fact that peoplel look at me differently and are always questioning why I do this....It just gives me the opportunity to talk with others about it and hopefuuly motivate so many other women to do the same thing.

Nice work. Keep it going and the progress coming. More.

Wow! I can't believe someone other than family members has posted to my thread! LOL.....I'm a newbie to this whole "forum" thing so please bear with me.

Thanks a million times over for your words of encouragement, PH and LS. Gets me pumped up and smiling!
