Welcome to Old Ladies Lift Chat! This episode features Ann Marie Willacker, a competitive wheelchair athlete who powerlifts, competes in the Highland Games, and does CrossFit. <br /> <br /> She is a wonderful example of our motto: age is inevitable, weakness is not. <br /> <br /> Age is inevitable. Weakness is not. <br /> <br /> The Old Ladies Lift group is for all the women who have come to strength sports later in life. As older women lifting heavy weights, we are charting unknown territories. Training regimes and research were almost all exclusively developed by young men for young men. There are virtually no programs or research on how older women might need to train differently to achieve maximum lifts. We're going to build that body of research here together. Whether you do Crossfit, Olympic, or powerlifting or all three, if you are a woman over 40 who trains hard, lifts heavy, and has learned a thing or two along the way, please share your stories, videos, insight, and questions. <br /> <br /> Check out the Old Ladies Lift website for Old Ladies Lift gear and to read and submit athlete bios and stories! <br /> https://oldladieslift.com/<br /> <br /> Get your OLL Merchandise here:<br /> https://oldladieslift.com/shop/<br /> <br /> Join the Facebook Group here<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1842268589141327<br /> <br /> #heavyliftingforwomen #ladylift #oldladieslift #premierliftingsite #olderwomenlift #oldwomencompete #goforit #setgoals #wheelchairathlete #adaptiveathlete
