For your education, athletic stress incontinence is extremely common in female athletes, most commonly in gymnastics, weightlifting, and powerlifting. I’d prefer it didn’t happen but

not a whole lot of room left for your bladder when you’re deadlifting and bracing into your belt as hard as you can. Female anatomy makes it more likely to happen. I’ve seen guys **** their pants, get nosebleeds, and puke, too. Maximum effort can make things get weird. All the refs are current or former competitors and so no one gets weird about it, just clean the bar and load it up for the next lifter.
When I get to the platform for my last deadlift, I’m going for a PR and to lock in my total and placing for the day. I’d sell my soul to lock that rep out and there’s nothing short of death that’s going to make me stop pulling til I finish the damn thing. That’s not a normal mindset for regular people who aren’t in the sport, but nothing about powerlifting at this level is normal.
- anyway I competed yesterday in my first all-pro meet and got a 450 lb squat/195 lb bench/430 lb deadlift for a 1075 lb total at 177.6 lbs bodyweight. After getting really sick and losing a friend (who got a very nice tribute to start the meet) 2 weeks before competition, I’m proud as hell of how I did. I am also beat to **** and as I saw when I got back in my car after court this morning, I look beat to ****. I had a blast with all my friends and doing things I didn’t believe I was able to do, and I can’t wait til I get to do it again.
- Wayne, I’ll be sure to tell the federation chairs and referees I’m banned, along with about 12 other girls from just the pro day. The sizable percentage of the other 65 ladies competed on amateur day will be pretty pissed (lulz) to hear they’re banned, too. Or, if you’re just jealous, I have my back spotter’s number and you can ask to Venmo him cash for his shoes. I want a percentage tho.
- so anyway Keeneland was chilly? I’m disappointed there’s no outfit smack.
- if you’re going to be weird, own your weird.
- one of my fiancé’s best buddies is both a legendary idiot savant and a legendary drunk. He’s absolutely incredible at golf. On one particular Frostbite Open, their annual February golf scramble, Tony was SHIPWRECK drunk, as per usual. They roll up to 17 and look over and Tony’s standing there in khakis that are rapidly darkening. Fiancé says Tony, what the hell, did you piss yourself?
tony, swaying, looks down: “huh. I guess I did.”
tony still won the scramble.
