This is what powerlifting is about. I respect you on and off the platform sculptedcreations 💛 - #Repost sculptedcreations ・・・ #tbt to last week. Fun fact.. kriis_d and I have been totaling the same weight for well over a year now. I used to always joke with her and say she can have some lbs off my deadlift if I can have some lbs off her squats .. our best lifts are polar opposites which always makes for an interesting day. In 2016 we ended with the same total (440kg) and after competing three times in 2017, we will end with the same total yet again (475kg). .. She's one of the lifters I have the upmost respect for. I understand her grind and struggle and respect the strength she's able to display despite it. Contrary to popular belief, we don't just wake up stronger. We work for every kilo gained .. Even after going head to head, we still hug, laugh, and joke. At the end of the day she can't control what I lift and I can't control what she lifts. We both are chasing one common goal. ....
