What does being a Girl Gone Strong mean to you? Being a Girl Gone Strong means breaking preconceived notions that women are meant to do only specific things and behave certain ways. I feel just as strong while slinking around in eight-inch stilettos on a stripper pole as I do ripping pounds off the floor in a deadlift. How long have you been strength training, and how did you get started?
I started over 20 years ago. Cuzenza as an elective to get out of running for P. My best friend and I were the only girls in that class.
What does your typical workout look like? However, my tried and true would be a delicious blend of compounds done first with high volume squat, bench or kettlebell deadlifts , followed by old school bodybuilding. Most memorable PR: Lifting on a deadlift at our gym powerlifting meet. Top 3 things you must have at the gym or in your gym bag: Headphones, fanny pack hands free living is the way to be and the right shoes for whatever I'm doing.
Do you prefer to train alone or with others? I like training alone but with others nearby to boost my own mental energy unless my boyfriend or best friend is training me. I also selfishly like that time for myself and find that when I train with others I always take the lead and sometimes just like being told what to do! Most embarrassing gym moment: Failing in the squat rack with almost pounds on my back.
I went dowwwwwn. Most recent compliment you gave someone else: I make a valiant effort to compliment as many women as I can in my studio. I think this is a lost art and find that a simple compliment can go a long way. Noticing a new hairstyle, new shoes, cute pants or a glow on someones face goes miles.
