@caraheads You are my motivation.I am a corrections officer and I injured myself at work.Just watching your videos inspired me to train harder and I am getting better.
-
can we see some more teaching/technique type vids please ?
-
Do you front squat 200kg ??

Hi Cara. I'm a master lifter. I started when I was 38-years-old 10 months ago; I am now 39. I absolutely love the sport. At any rate, being new Oly, I am still learning who's who in the sport. I think you are an amazing athlete. You are a good person, intelligent, beautiful, and not to mention kick-ass strong. You represent female athletes in a very positive way. Is 2012 London in your plans?

I love this. It demystfies oly lifting for everyday folks. Admittedly, she's not at all claiming to make them experts at oly lifts - just giving the basic idea of the lifts. Great clip!

Olympic lifting should be the main focus at local gyms. Snatch and Clean work strength, power, speed, endurance, stability, and flexibility. Right now I have to train the snatch and clean without the olympic type bars that have more whip and spin in the collars :(

I wish more of the girls doing olympic weightlifting were like you. I see a lot of elitism amongst my fellow weightlifters, especially the girls. You are a charmer. You haven't posted more vids and haven't heard from you for a while, what are you up to these days? Still competing at the professional level? Look forward to hearing from you. All the best. Rogelio

Hi Cara!
Olympic lifter I'm from Colombia! in the first week of October and would like to travel to Louisiana to know that opportunities exist to train at your gym? I'm preparing for a championship club here and not want to lose my progress.
My personal record is 130/160 and compete in the category of 77 kg, and wrote an email to Dr. Pierce and I am awaiting a response!
I appreciate your attention and wish you much success in your work!

If you're a good coach, you can teach anyone in 5 minutes!
....but not everyone's that great of an instructor. :\

Cara, are you training for London 2012? If so, good luck. Also, are you going to put up more videos? I really enjoy them.

Cara, you still training at LSUS?

No, I took a little time off and moved to California. Back in the gym though! I enjoy the olympic lifts so much they always end up in my workout routine, whether I'm training for the Olympics or just staying fit.

1ST! Didnt know if you'd ever put up another vid; its been a minute. You still look fantastic. Are you still competing?

Thank you. I took some time off but would like to gain strength and enjoy another competition. The 2008 Olympic Trials was by far my favorite meet over 18 years of competing. It all starts in the gym with a little bit of weight, so more training videos on the way!

Well, this was out of the blue. Are you going to do more videos similar to this?
