Congrats to for opening up their first retail store in Sai Ying Pun this weekend! You can now check out their athletic clothing in person (or online still)!

Proud of you for all the hustle you've put into making this happen

And throwback to sweating with a kick ass group of women for International Women's Day 🔥

Peaking and competing is the most fun part of strength sports. For those of you who have been asking, the next meet is being planned for November!

Further details to be released soon.

is one of my first ever powerlifting friends who I happened to meet while training in Thailand 2016. Years later I got to handle him in a meet where he dominated as the overall champ and he's returned the favor handling me for gold as well. Go smash it at IPF Worlds today!!! 66kg 🇹🇭

Last year when I turned 29, I promised myself I would end my 20's stronger than ever. On my last day of being 29, I'm happy to be able to say I kept that promise - physically and mentally. My 20's were full of life, and I'm grateful for it all, both the ups and downs. Can't believe I'm about to be 30, but let's go 🔥

It's all about perspective☀️🌊😃

“When your kid sprints, he encounters ground reaction forces several times greater than his body weight.

When he jumps out of trees, those numbers are even higher – and he’s probably landing on more unpredictable environment.

When he wears a big backpack full of books, he’s actually lifting weights without any coaching whatsoever.

Doing a goblet squat with a 20-pound dumbbell isn’t going to stunt your 9-year-old’s growth. And it isn’t going to turn him into a meathead steroid abuser.

What it will probably do is teach him a lot about the value of hard work. It’ll demonstrate that consistently showing up and putting effort into something can lead to specific quantifiable improvements.

It’ll make him more durable to participate in and enjoy sports – and do so at a higher level than he otherwise would have experienced.

It’ll also likely put him in a position to roll with a different social circle than he’d normally frequent.

I can’t guarantee you that any of those things will lead to a college scholarship or career in professional sports. But I can tell you that they’ll all contribute to a well-rounded, more confident young adult who’ll be much more likely to exercise regularly for the rest of his life.

So, before you worry about the potential downsides of getting your child involved in strength and conditioning at a young age, think first about the guaranteed upsides.

*I used the “he” pronoun throughout this post. All of these benefits are just as prevalent – if not MORESO – in female athletes. My two-year-old daughters play in the gym every single day, and that’s not changing anytime soon.”
