"This was only my second meet and it was absolutely incredible. The powerlifting community is amazing. I found everyone, from lifters, coaches, referees, spotters and spectators, to be encouraging, helpful and completely supportive. I increased my total weight lifted by 46 lbs from just 3 months ago. I made technical mistakes and felt a bit frustrated, but I found that channeling the frustration into the next lift made the next one easier. I don't mind failure if I learn from it. I don't mind doing hard things. In fact, I think it's the reason I do this at all, because it's hard. Food matters. Your nutrition coach matters. Jess has been coaching me since before my first meet, throughout all of my training, and wrote an excellent nutrition plan for comp day. Not once did I feel hungry or over full. I never felt tired, low energy, or overstimulated. I felt fed. I felt solid. I felt really good, with zero soreness! I had no idea before Jess took over my nutrition just how good I could and should feel during training. Jess and Black Iron Nutrition are helping me see and reach my full potential as a masters athlete."
