Heart surgery to start the year, lifetime personal best squat to end the year...go on then π
Most women in their 50s wouldn't even be able to squat with their body weight on the barbell, let alone almost double their body weight like my client Megan can. π
Here she is hitting 100kg x 2 and 105kg x 1 both in the high bar position.
Lately we've been building up her strength with high bar squats. Several reasons behind that. Beyond the scope of this post.
These small tweaks and minor progressions are all part of the game plan for achieving better numbers every single year.
Soon we'll transition back to low bar squats where Megan will hit a life time personal best squat before the year is out.
She doesn't realise it yet, but I know it's going to happen because I am her coach and I see exactly what she's capable of.
Not to mention that I am adjusting things and tweaking her program to make this stuff happen over months and months of hard work.
We have worked very carefully to build back to this point safely following her heart surgery.
So you're damn right this isn't a fluke, and it isn't luck.
Ladies, if you are looking for a coach who wants to help you get strong AF and be in your best ever shape in the process, let's talk about it.
Megan mentioned today that she hasn't had a waist as slim as what she has now since before she was preggers.
Imagine that. That could be you. But you'd have to actually do something about it instead of talking about it.
Strong and slim for the win. ππͺ
