Happy meet day day. In this vlog I’m taking you with me to my very first powerlifting meet — the CPF Women’s Open 2018. I start off showing my comp fit because obviously that matters: Nike Pro shorts, my ELF/LVD comp shirt, a Honda headband (courtesy of Cal), and yes… the sock situation was serious. I had the SPD deadlift socks even though they never even scraped my shins (so like… spent 20 bucks for nothing), and then my Tina from Bob’s Burgers socks for squats and bench because priorities. The day is basically chaos, hype, and me being the vlogger of the century while my friends filmed a lot of it for me. The biggest takeaway: weight classes are real. I weighed in one pound heavier than the class I wanted, so I got bumped up and ended up lifting with people literally 10 pounds heavier than me — and I was the smallest in my group. Still, I finished third in my class, and somehow I got second overall on Wilks (body-to-strength correlation), which I genuinely did not expect. I’m exhausted, starving, and proud — new adventures, okay?
