Contentment I’m not talking about being complacent, I’m talking about contentment. The state of peaceful happiness. A state in which what we do, what we spend our time on, what we allow into our daily life and routine (people, habits, foods, etc), the people that we let into our lives, brings us happiness that is …
I Am Hybrid AF
I like powerlifting. I like bodybuilding. I like both, therefore I train both. Personally, I believe that they can live in harmony, if trained appropriately. In fact, I believe this way of training has attributed greatly to my overall development as a seasoned lifter, and has helped me refrain from injury. Aside from all of …
Reclaim your power.
A note I left for my counselor: "Nancy, This morning I reclaimed my power back. My boss, after not talking to me for what felt like weeks, decided to make a very bold and hurtful statement after I said good morning to him this AM. (Understand, that this is not the first time he has …
Within this space I will dwell.
Exploring. Finding. Creating. Pushing. Only words I can truly use to describe my current state of being. I am relentlessly exploring. Whether that is my mind, and myself, my true hopes and desires, my sexuality, and the like. I am finding my circle. I am finding out who people are underneath the surface. Asking the …
The Loaded Question..
I live for deep conversation. I personally believe that is where the greatest connections, realizations, "light bulb moments" and the like, all flow. Unguarded, truthful communication without fear of judgment, with full transparency, and an open mind. But, how often do we find ourselves immersed in conversations of this nature? Rarely ever...unless you are one …

What Does Beauty Mean to You?
I would be lying if I said this question wasn’t extremely difficult for me to answer. Difficult in regards to the load in which my response carries beneath the surface. And I know every woman, everywhere can attest to that, because I do believe that every woman, at one point or another in her life, …
Only Dead Fish Go with the Flow: Stop falling for the “one-size-fits-all” BS
"People need to quit looking for the easy way out and GET TO WORK." -Dave Tate I don`t believe "going with the flow" has ever been a strong suit of mine...in fact, I don`t believe i strictly fit the mold of powerlifter or bodybuilder either. My training is a hybrid baby of the two; incorporating …

CHOULDERS (Chest + Shoulders)
When I`m pressed for time, efficiency is key. Which is why I like to train two muscle groups that can be hit with one exercise; chest and shoulders. Most movements for this combo will be on an angle of some sort, a decline or incline, in order to hit both muscles. Supersetting a weighted movement …
Wide Lats-Dense Back
As a powerlifter and figure competitor, its essential I work my back every single training session. Whether it is a full back focused day or just adding in an exercise at the middle or end of a training session, I need my back to be strong, dense, and very wide. Most sessions start with pull-ups …
