Doing it Your Way, with Olivia Reeves | Episode 63
This week we have the impressive Olivia Reeves, a Team USA Olympic Weightlifter in the Paris 2024 Games, gold medal winner at the 2024 IWF Championships and 2023 Pan Am Championships, and US women’s record holder. Since Olympic Weightlifting is a new topic for us on the podcast, Olivia explains how the sport works and what a training routine and competition look like. She also tells us about how growing up in her family’s CrossFit gym led her to a passion for weightlifting, and her journey to find a routine and mindset that work for her - regardless of what everyone else is doing. She also weighs in on the controversial practice of weight cutting, what it feels like to be going to her first Olympics, and her meticulous competition day rituals.
