“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s a day you’ve had to do everything to do and you’ve done it.”-Margaret Thatcher.
We will have a full USAPL Raw Nationals recap for you this week. Until then, just ask Coach Sam the same questions daily until he posts a recap. Just know, you have four women that are your classmates who are true 1%ers in the world of strength. There were roughly 1400 people in Lombard, IL competing for top spots in the field of drug-tested powerlifting; and all four these Iron Crab Barbell ladies ended up in the top 11 in their respective weight class and age categories. So think about that, only about 10% of all USAPL members qualify for Raw Nationals. Top 10% of would be to finish in the top 140. These normal women by day, are top 1% when it comes to judged, tested strength in the form of squat, bench, and deadlift. Great work ladies, we are beyond proud of you.

“As soon as a milestone is passed, it’s significance fades, and the focus is shifted to some other marker farther down the road. No matter what you do or how satisfying it is in that beautiful moment in time; immediately you want more. You have to if you want to find out how good you can be.”-Glenn Pendlay.
“Remember, you don’t compete with anyone, you make them compete with you. You can control what you put on yourself; you can’t control what the other guy puts on you. So you focus only on the internal pressure that drives you. Run to it, embrace it, feel it, so no one else can throw more at you than you’ve already put on yourself.”-Tim Grover.
“Competing is like gambling, the more you win the more you want to compete. The only problem is, what happens when the person you’re competing against is with yourself?”-Meedee.
