Just your usual Friday pump chase 💪🏻 SUNS OUT GUNS OUT ☀️⛱ • The longer I've been lifting, the more bro-down bench days are growing on me. I've always weirdly loved dumbbell rows though 😝 • #gwpl #rawplcanada #thisisfemalepowerlifting #squats #bench #deadlift (at Reebok CrossFit Ramsay)

Today's entertainment! Mock meet a little under a week before the @rawplcanada meet in medicine hat! Hitting my openers today, here is my squat at 395. Feeling great! @coach__hunt not to sure if I hit depth, better check again! @scboss keeping everything on point with training. Looking forward to the compitition! #bodybuilding #powerbuilding #powerlifting #squat #backsquats #depth #mobility #training #compitition #dedication #consistency #gains #singlet #fitness #progress #grapesmugglers #gym #reps #asstograss #tattoos #yyc

Huge thank you to everyone who made this day happen @rawplcanada @crossfitvernon @deanna__meredith @megrandibain @adamdaxusprice @bench_guy, all the volunteers, spotters, and loaders, and to everyone who came out to support us. Special thank you to people who put a lot of time and skill in helping me get here: @bodyperformancecoach Kevin Weiss for coaching, programming, and #weissadvice leading up to and during the meet. @christopher.harold.donnelly Chris Donnelly for putting me back together day in, day out, and providing pain-free training. And most importantly, thank you to my Captain @yoree_g who's down to support any shenanigans as long as they make me happy ❤

When you have 8s on 8s of everything and you tryin' to stay chill. • This is fine... • #gwpl #thisisfemalepowerlifting #squats #bench #deadlift #rawplcanada @skratchlabs @racedayfuel (at Calgary, Alberta)

Necessary @rpstrength appreciation post. Even after a 3 week vacation to Australia, and lots of ups and downs since my last meet, this was arguably the easiest prep I've had to make weight. *And* my best meet so far. • Thank you for the weigh in day abs, and the platform gains, RP demons 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 • #rpstrength #rplifestyle #rptransformation #gwpl #squats #bench #deadlift #thisisfemalepowerlifting #rawplcanada @skratchlabs @racedayfuel

Dialling 'er in. 135kg for 5. Two weeks out, LEGGO 💪🏻💁🏻 • #gwpl #deadlift #powerlifting #crossfitramsay #squat #bench #rawplcanada (at Reebok CrossFit Ramsay)

PREPARE YOURSELVES: #singletsaturday mega post. Holy smokes, what an awesome start to the 2017 season. Went 9/9 in full power (27 white lights WHAT), hit PRs in all my lifts, and went 100/60/145 to add 17.5kg to my total. Officially in the 300+ total club 🙌🏻🙌🏻 • Also tried my hand at military press, and set a new national record! (Went 4/4 there too). HOW BOW DAH?! • Biggest of thanks to my Mum for coming out to handle me/ be my number one Instagram videographer. Big ups to @biggieg53 for whipping my ass into shape for this meet too. • Ok, BRB, sleeping for a thousand years. • #squateveryday #rpstrength #gwpl #squat #bench #deadlift #rawPLcanada (at CrossFit Squamish/Squamish Barbell)

When @jennlee403 sends you footage of your garbage band squats mid-session. "What's this for?" "For the GRAMS" She's a full on powerlifter now 😂 • Today was strugglefull. Legs felt like jello, weight wasn't moving, knees kept caving in. A week of night shifts will do that. Just happy to be getting back into the swing of things 👏🏻 • #gwpl #squats #bench #deadlift #squateveryday #mashelite #powerlifter #rawPLcanada @skratchlabs @racedayfuel (at Reebok CrossFit Ramsay)

Normally the "on this day" thing on Facebook just finds cringey memories from high school, but this was actually pretty cool. • 3 years ago I pulled 200# for the first time. BELTLESS no less. I now squat this weight for reps, and this was my opener at my last meet. • Comments of how shitty my pull technique used to be aside, it's pretty cool to see how far I've come... even though it doesn't always feel like it 😂😂 • #gwpl #ironringgirls #deadlift #squat #bench #powerlifting #throwback #rawPLcanada @skratchlabs @racedayfuel (at Alberta)

A rock solid #sundayfunday training session. Hit all 3 lifts and finished with #deadlift block pulls. Was hoping to hit 315#, and it felt so easy, so I had to pull 335# • Not a bad way to cap off the weekend. • #powerlifter #gwpl #rawplcanada #crossfitramsay #megsquats @skratchlabs @racedayfuel (at Reebok CrossFit Ramsay)

Beltless, paused, front squats. Better known as; how to make your core feel like a spaghetti noodle. • These were BRUTAL! Future Erin will definitely appreciate these tho. Stanky leg at 155#, my core forgot how to muscle under #160 • #rawplcanada #frontsquat #mashelite #squateveryday #gwpl #gwpl🍑 (at Reebok CrossFit Ramsay)

Thus concludes what was apparently PR all the things week. A double at 315#, which was my deadlift 1RM heading into this hypertrophy phase. • Didn't have quite enough in the tank to try for the triple, which I'm still kicking myself for tho 🙄 • #deadlift #girlswhopowerlift #rawplcanada @skratchlabs @racedayfuel @stokedoats (at Crossfit Ai Ranchlands)

[purpledcake]

Volume got me feeling like ☠️☠️☠️ • Heavy triples followed by a set of 4 at 285#. I'm almost starting to believe in the hypertrophy witchcraft. • #girlswhopowerlift #rawplcanada @skratchlabs @racedayfuel @stokedoats #deadliftsandchill #deadliftsandburritos (at Crossfit Ai Ranchlands)

The look you get before @alexsaretsky slaps you into another dimension 😂 • My Mum thought this was hilarious, so she made a point of getting this on video before my last attempt 😂😂🤣🤣 • Life has been nuts since getting back, and I’ve trained all of once since Worlds. Got me feeling like a big ol’ dumpster fire. Anyone else ever get a real bad case of the post-meet blues? 🙍🏻 • #gwpl #rawplcanada #powerlifting #squat #bench #deadlift @skratchlabs @racedayfuel (at Erie, Pennsylvania)
