Crazy Powerlifting sprinting… Sarah Cattan on Instagram: "Who says powerlifters don't do cardio? And in chucks, whaaaaat? I sprint.. Occasionally.. When there's birthday cake Oreos in front of me. But you see, the way my diet is set up right now 😐 #hackedbyyourswolemate @a_naked_person_just 😉 #demlegs #herewego #hewasmirin -- Sarah looks like Forrest Gump.. I couldn't sprint beside her cause I kept laughing 😆😂 #runsarahrun #doitfortheoreos 🏃🏻💨💨"

Looking forward to my heavy squat and deadlift day Saturday. I am starting to feel an even bigger fire lighting inside of me. It’s about time. 11 weeks out from my next meet. Sitting at 157.2 this am. Killing the diet game to sit around 154-155. Hopefully in another 2 weeks I’ll be there.

Very impressive numbers and a fun log to read!

Woke up 154.8 today! Woooooo!!! Finally. Hopefully I’ll get to 154 even soon, and get that reverse diet going to get SOOOO STRONG @ my new body weight.

Oh, you’ve just done great with both body comp and strength goals. Really nice progress!

You seem to be a fish who’s finally found her pond.
