2026 British Equipped Recap 🇬🇧🥇
As I have been saying I know my biggest issue is I like to pile pressure on myself 🤦♀️
So the goal for this competition wasn’t to hit PBs it was to have a good day and ideally go 9/9
Build confidence and build the total to hopefully win 🏆
Squat missed my first and second lifts on DEPTH FFS!
Well there is no amount of pressure to know you HAVE to get this lift in or you will bomb 💣 (which basically means you don’t total so your score doesn’t count) the rules are you have to get at least 1 of each lift.
Finished on 190kg which I would normally have been disappointed by but again the plan was to get the total and build it.
Thoughts of why it was high when I worked so hard on depth in training… johns is ICE 🧊 COLD…. In that’s hall it was bloody roasting which meant I was swollen! And suit felt tighter. 🤷🏼♀️🥵
Bench 100 ✅ 105 ✅ 110 ✅ I was over the moon with… it’s the most consistent I have benched in a long time at a competition.
I have been nursing inflammation in both shoulders and elbows with nerve damage to my left elbow so hit this and get all 3 was a VIBE!
Deadlift 160 ✅ 170 ✅ 180 ✅ the best deadlifts I have ever done… so quick, technique was good.
I finished the day on 480kg which is my equal best total at 69kg
However 7/9 is good for me 🫢
It felt amazing knowing I had more in the tank on all 3 lifts.
7 years competing 🏋️♀️
My 5th national competition 🇬🇧
1 international competition 🏆
And finally a gold medal 🥇
Honestly this feel so good working so hard for something, how demotivated I felt at Christmas I very nearly throw in the towel!
Bloody glad I didn’t now!
You have to do the stuff you don’t want to do to reach your goals 🤷🏼♀️🤝
Now what’s next 👀
Thank you for everyone’s words my heart is so full! 🩵💙
