On the 26th of October, Saturday morning, one of our very own Dayna stepped out of her comfort zone and entered her very first power lifting competition, and absolutely smashed it!
We have been training together for around 2 years, and our goals always mainly focused on leaning down and building muscle. Then, 3 months ago, Dayna had the idea of working towards powerlifting and perhaps one day entering a competition if all goes well. Not even 2 months into our training she entered the all or nothing novice powerlifting competition, giving us no more than a month to work on getting that strength as high as possible, a big challenge that ultimately I think we nailed.
As a trainer, it's fun to sometimes test your knowledge and, in a sense, put your money where your mouth is. On the day, Dayna got a personal best on each of the 3 lifts, which is an amazing achievement. To show up on comp day as she did and smash it, I couldn't be more proud of her! We are hoping to get another one next year. πͺπ₯π
