Hi there. Nice job on the meet. Those are great numbers and all the lifts looked solid.
Good luck on the cut. I just did one myself as I had a really tough time making weight at my last meet. It’s worth cutting a bit now to avoid the stress later.[/quote]
Hi! Thanks for stopping in! Thanks for the feedback. I’m sitting at 161.8 already! Yay! I know it’s going to slow here very soon, but I’m going to keep kicking butt when it does.

What federation do you lift in?
I’m sitting at exactly the same weight as you (162.0 this morning) and am also dieting down to 155ish to make the 158 class. Diet buddies? haha I’m bummed they don’t have the 148 class or the 165 class anymore. It’s 138, 158, and 184 for USAPL. There’s no way in hell I’d try to go down to 138. I might actually look like a skeleton. And I’m not holding enough muscle for me not to look gross at 184. 
So 158 it is for me.
For your height, 148 seems like a very reasonable weight to cut down to. You totally got this!

Winter equals too much cheese and chocolate for me. I lift at 57kg (125.5) and don’t have a ton of room for leeway.
Was that your first meet?
AM I EVER GOING TO LIVE DOWN THE NOSE TORK FLUB??!!
But furreal, I’m going so save a fresh one and open it up just for your last deadlift in August ;);)
Went in for some squats yesterday. And WOW I thought I was fine until I got under that bar… Hips were hella tight and definitely am not over this weekend yet… Haha
135x8 normal stance
225x8 super low wide stance pause squats
275x5 normal stance
225x5
Did hamstring and calf raises and foam rolled too.
Today I hit the gym for some ARM and SHOULDER day… don’t judge me…
Curls for the girls… worked up to 45’s just because it’s funny to see people’s reactions in the gym…
usually rep with 27.5’s, did shoulder raises, kept it pretty simple today.

THE ANSWER IS NO.

Is that 45 lb bells, or 135 with a bar? Either way, holy hell that’s strong!

Yeah, seriously. I had a really healthy dinner last night of cod, wild rice, broccoli and asparagus and then ruined it with drinking way too much white wine, haha. I have a hard time with moderation…

I did great today… but not the best yesterday, may have had 4 or 5 bourbons, a snag of some cheese fries, donuts, and a bit of burger yesterday. I wasn’t going too overboard, but already back on track
Yesterday, hit some training with my squad in Lexington.
Tried sumo’s for the first time, and WOAH those are going to get some getting used to.
Worked up to 315 for a couple doubles, after focusing on form at first with lighter weight obviously. Definitely will be interesting too see how these will translate over into my conventional pulls.
ALSO, totally got crazy and tried knee wraps for the first time, hit 345, 375, and 405 with them!
385 with sleeves was at the meet, so I obviously was beyond pumped. Will aim for 425ish for my next meet in August @ 148. BIG GOALS! CRAZY GOALS!
I guess, I also got a little crazy, and squatted my friend Kelsey for Reps. She deadlifted me too…
Squatting Kelsey- Sarah Cattan on Instagram: "Just squatting the swolemate @a_naked_person_just ❤️ 14 times after hitting a 405 squat. You don't need a gym to stay in shape.. Just lift your friends... Flexing in the back provided by fellow meat heads @ellinio420 @thedannyamon @metalfujimi"
405 SQUAT- Sarah Cattan on Instagram: "This be a 405 squat. It ain't the prettiest but I'll take it 😜. #fit #fitfam #fitspo #igfitness #instafit #powerlifting #165raw #girlswholift #squatbooty #squat #quads #gainz #dyel #gym #motivation #misc #mirin #aware #iifym #flexibledieting #blessed #148raw #powerliftersgonegirly #bikini #lbeb #jackedandpasty #abs #powerbelly #strength #swole"
