Morgan Colling | Offseason | Week 2 Squat & Bench

I recently competed in the XPC Finals at the Arnold on March 4th in Columbus, OH where I totaled 745 @ 123. I don’t currently have my next meet selected, although I plan on competing at some point this fall. I recently began a long offseason under Brian Carroll’s tutelage.

I felt stupid strong this week. I dunno if I was just having a string of good sessions or if I’m legitimately getting stronger…either way, I’ll take it. I got a DEXA scan done this week and although my BF% is higher than I’d like it to be, my lean mass has increased dramatically and I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. Especially as a female, it’s really hard to say “I don’t care how I look”. Because I do. And so do you. But at the end of the day, I’m a strength athlete. Not a physique competitor. Can I have both? Sure, but one needs to take precedence. And that one is very obvious.
