Steph with a PR 67 kg snatch at our last meet at Industrious!

Today begins our deload week before some max lift testing on Saturday. We will be moving to a new cycle next week, after I return from...NATIONALS!!! Steph qualified herself for the National Championships a few months ago and will be lifting amongst our countries top lifters this weekend. Qualifying is no easy feat; one must make the qualifying totals set by USAW in a sanctioned meet in order to be invited to compete. This is a huge accomplishment and honor, and one in which she earned in one of her first few meets even. She's been training extremely hard, and I am excited to see all that hard work pay off on the big stage and see her represent Industrious well. We are leaving for Ohio Thursday morning, so make sure you wish her good luck tonight!
