What inspired you to pursue bodylifting as a female athlete?
I wanted to take my body to the next level, I wanted to challenge myself and see how far I could take my body. From body building to powerlifting to crossfit and Olympic lifts.

‍How do you balance training, nutrition, and recovery to optimize your performance?
To be honest, it’s not easy. Like every other human being, I have responsibilities and duties to fulfil on a daily basis. But I can truly say that discipline is a huge factor. Once you set a goal and a target and you discipline yourself to reach it, you make time for your goals.

‍What are some common misconceptions about female bodylifters, and how do you address them?
The most common one is that body building or lifting weights will make a woman look manly or bulky. On the contrary, lifting weights makes you look younger, healthier, more attractive, and definitely higher self-esteem. Instead of growing old and fragile, you get to enjoy your growth gracefully. Age is just a number!

‍Can you share some of your most memorable achievements or proudest moments in your bodylifting journey?
For me, every mile stone I’ve achieved is memorable, from squating 60kgs to 120kg, from deaslifting 90kgs to 140kgs, learning how to snatch, clean and jerk etc… every single thing I’ve learned and mastered is my accomplishment.

‍How do you stay motivated and overcome challenges, both in and out of the gym, as a female athlete in a male-dominated sport?
I’ve always been sort of a tomboy, so for me, being in a male dominated atmosphere taught me a lot. I earned ebry single inch of respect from my male pears and clients. It wasn’t because I looked good or cute. It was because I knew what I was able to bring to the table. I am passionate about what to do, and for me, sports is a big part of who I am, and that can never be erased. Of course, you’ll always have some male ego here and there trying to put you down, but in the end, your ethics and hard work pay off.

‍How has incorporating the Speena inversion table into your training regimen enhanced your recovery and overall performance as a bodylifting athlete?Lifting heavy weights puts a lot of pressure on your body in general and especially your spine. Speena has been with me for many years now and I can truly say that I have less inflammation, better joint health and spine flexibility, i don’t feel stiff and compressed any more, not to mention all the great benefits inversion gives with the flow of blood to all the extremities. Mental clarity, flowing skin, and therefore looking younger.

‍In what specific ways do you feel the Speena inversion table has contributed to improving your flexibility, mobility, and joint health, key components for success in bodylifting?
One thing we take for granted is our recovery phase after lifting. I can not insist on how important it is to stretch and do mobility exercises in order to optimize your performance.

For me, Speena has helped me achieve all this by just performing simple exercise for a few minutes on a daily basis. It’s fun and not boring, and it’s really efficient. I get to feel recharged and flexible, and I’m always in a good mood.

‍Can you share any personal experiences or anecdotes illustrating the impact of using the Speena inversion table on your bodylifting journey, such as alleviating muscle soreness or improving posture?
Yes! One thing we need to know is that inflammation actually causes mood imbalances, and it affects stress levels. It decreases brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine, aka happy hormones. With the effect of inversion with Speena, all of this gets reversed.
My mood is better, my body is relaxed, my spine I’d decompressed and I feel fresh and active again.
