It is no secret that Crossfit girls have a tendency to lean towards wearing booty shorts.  It may not happen right away, but just as with the blooming confidence to take off your shirt mid-WOD, it’s a seemingly inevitable outcome that seems to correlate with body confidence and self-empowerment that comes from the sport.

I’m part of a couple different ladies-only lifting groups on Facebook; I love them both because they are primarily made up of women who understand the importance of strength training and fueling for performance, from strong(wo)men, to powerlifters, to Olympic weightlifters to crossfitters, to those who work out at home or at a traditional gym.

When I last checked in, it was an update on my current Outlaw Way training, which has been temporarily shifted to Outlaw Barbell in prepping for my first Olympic Weightlifting meet. A […]

It’s the holiday season…! I love Christmas. Christmas music, Christmas lights, Christmas spirit (or replace with “holiday” if you prefer). But I am also one of these people who likes it AFTER American Thanksgiving. Really, can’t we just wait until the month is over before starting the next holiday? However, since everyone else is starting […]
