My name is Sophie. Some of my hobbies include: tennis, lifting weights, reading, scuba diving, fishing andTALKING IN ALLL CAPS.
I only post progress pictures that don't show a lot of skin because the internet frightens me. So my pics probably won't show how much progress I made very well.

I use lift competitively in high school because I thought it would look good on my college application. My coach was really great and showed me proper form for all the basic Olympic lifts. I did pretty well for my weight class and placed 4th once I think, ahaha. Unfortunately, the school preferred to fund the boy's weightlifting team over the girls and the program was dropped my junior year.

Once I got in to college, I decided to pick it up again and I have a long way to go to get back my original strength.

I like feeling strong. I like looking at something that I've already established in my brain as "heavy", then lifting it up any and realizing it's not heavy anymore.

I also love to eat. I eat like I'm the freaking linebacker for the Raiders. Weightlifting lets me eat more.
