Kathleen competed in her first Strongwoman competition in 2018 and placed third out of eight women. "I'm not sure I would have done as well if I wasn't following a program that fueled me through my training like RP did," Kathleen said.
Another training victory for Kathleen was accomplishing her goal to be able to do 10 strict pull-ups. "When I first found RP, I was lucky to do two to three reps, and toward the end of my cut in 2018, I was doing three sets of 10 strict pull-ups. I believe I ran around the gym cheering extra loudly that day because I not only made my goal but exceeded it," Kathleen said, beaming. Now, this year Kathleen is doing sets of 12 to 14 reps.
"The biggest nonscale victory will have to be the body confidence I gained," Kathleen shared. "Before my last two fat-loss cuts, I would scroll through my Instagram feed seeing women wearing crop tops at the gym, and I would always tell myself, 'I wish I had the confidence to wear that.' Here I am today, a week after finishing my second full cut, and I'm now that woman who always wears those cute crop tops. I absolutely love the way I look (flaws and all) and appreciate all that my body can accomplish."
