Hello,
My name is Rachel and I have been involved in weight training for about three years. However, becoming a stronger lifter and mastering powerlifting technique have been relatively newer goals. I have joined this forum as a means of meeting other lifters. I am huge advocate of positive social support and believe that it plays such an important role in achieving and maintaining fitness and wellness goals. I really like helpful critique and am eager to learn from others, especially female lifters. My significant other has been utilizing this resource (T-Nation) for several years and it seems like a great way to track progress, elicit support, engage with others, and become part of a community that respects hard work!
Welcome, Rachel!
Thanks for putting up a link to your log. Some very nice powerlifting going on in there, and it looks like you are having lots of fun with it. It’s nice of you to coach HeavyTriple, and give him a spot now and then. 
Excellent.
