Mona Eltahawy Instagram – Challenge met! Today I deadlifted 200lbs. I am 56 and I weigh 156lbs.
I’ve had 200lbs in my sight for a while. Travel, injuries, illness and the world taught me to focus less on number and more on strength and this journey I’ve grown to love so much.
And today, I was ready!
I think about that word “deadlift” a lot. What do I bring into the gym and place onto that barbell and then lift it as if I were channeling all that challenges me.
What is deadweight and what am I lifting and where does it go?
I’ve had a heavy week and lifting heavy has made me lighter.
