A Witness to Female Strength

May17
2012
Written by Ryan

Today’s post is in honor of “Female Strength”. I had the privilege of seeing two feats of strength this past week. The first was with three of our softball girls who train with us at SAPT. They had their senior night last Friday and it was pretty cool to watch them perform on the field. Not only did I get to see them beat the other team 11-0 but I got to watch Nancy lay out for a line drive up the middle. I’m pretty sure at one point she was parallel to the ground. Did I mention that their team has 3 captains and it just so happens that all 3 girls who train at SAPT fill those slots. Coincidence?

SAPT Strength in the house!

These girls can drive me crazy sometimes but their work ethic and general awesomeness makes me feel privileged that I get to coach them. Great job girls!

The second feat of female greatness comes from one of our adult clients, Lisa. For anyone who reads our blog I’m sure you already know the legend of Lisa. This woman refuses to be weak and proves it just about every 12 weeks. I got to watch Lisa retest her bench press and deadlift from 12 weeks ago this past Saturday. Check out the video below to see her 15lbs bench press PR and her 35lbs deadlift PR!

    Thanks Ryan! Great job editing the videos – you took out the parts where I look totally dumb! :)

    I couldn’t have made this kind of progress without your awesome programming and the incredible knowledge of all of the SAPT coaches. You guys really do rock!

    I know I coud go on and on, but I’ll spare everyone and just say THANK YOU Ryan, Stevo & Kelsey! You guys make me better and stronger every time I step foot into SAPT :)

    Lisa’s PR video is very inspiring especially because you can see her excitement with hitting those deadlifts! Love it!

    Those BP attempts looked better & better with each heavier attempt! I’d like to see a true max on the DL at some point… it’s got to be in the neighborhood of 300lbs!

    Nice work, Lisa!
