Ian, Tyler, and Millie hit up some Olympic lifting on Thursday evening in preparation for the Testify Christmas Classic WL meet in December (head to http://testifysc.com/blog to sign up). Millie PRed her clean and jerk, which is awesome...but I had pretty terrible photographic timing, which is typical. Guess y’all just have to show up in December to see her PR it all over again! #testifystrengthandconditioning #usaweightlifting #TestifyChristmasClassic # # # #squat #bench #deadlift #press #snatch #cleanandjerk #powerlifting #strengthlifting #weightlifting #startingstrength #startingstrengthaffiliategym #startingstrengthgym #lifting #training #trainhard #roguefitness #crossfit #omaha #nebraska #omahanebraska #omahastrong #nebraskastrong
