Eva’s 20s

With less than six months of practice, Eva has developed quite a knack for dumbbell cleans and presses. She has chosen to consistently use no less than a pair of 20 lb. dumbbells for this style of Olympic lifting. This decision has enabled her to experience greater intensity, improved muscular strength, increased stamina, and even her first pull-up. While one may assume that the work load (heavier dumbbells) has something to do with Eva’s achievements, the truth is that her mindset is directly responsible. Eva’s commitment to use a weight that most women wouldn’t consider touching for the clean and press has also led her to venture to the “dark side” of other movements (pull-up, deadlift, benchpress, etc.). Each week she is getting closer to completing every personal record on the score board. We await the numbers…
