Keep checking in to see some clips from Strongest Ever, a documentary about my life and lifting.  The clip highlights Dr. Marshall Jacobs discussing the stress my body endured as I was in peak training as the strongest woman in the world.

Then, I will post a video of me getting my staples taken out… Just for FUN!!

The weather is perfect in Eldon, MO! Birds are singing and everyone is outside. I love it. And just now… thunder!! MY FAVORITE WEATHER!!

Today is my last practice at Harley Race’s WLW Academy. I learned so much here, more than I could have learned anywhere else. A lot of people are asking, will I continue to wrestle? HECK YEAH!! I love it! I still have a lot to learn and want to keep improving my performance. There is a wrestling ring at the gym I will be training at in LA.

I had a kick ass leg workout on Monday! I have been taking MSM for my knees it is working. You can choose from different brands on Bodybuilding.com.
