In this episode of Chalk My Back! We go over day 1 of the Europa meet where Anas's lifters Shelia and Naji competed to kick things off. We dive into the weeks leading up to the meet and what struggles the girls endured while prepping for this meet. Naji goes over weight cutting and the differences between different training styles she's experienced and what Anas has helped her with differently with her training now. We also take a dive into why Shelia took an extended break from powerlifting and what she has done since her break to get back into powerlifting, she also gives us some background into her powerlifting roots and how she ended up becoming coached by Anas. Anas, Abe, and Josh also ask the girls what they thought of the meet, how it was run, and the overall thoughts of meet prep to competition and what the girls are going to do with any upcoming meets and future plans for their totals. Anas gives his perspective of each of the lifters and what they did right coming into this meet and what goals he has for both lifters moving forward. As always, along the way we share jokes and stories that happen behind the curtain of meet prep that don't get shown on social media. All this and more on this episode of CMB!
