      God calls you to repentance. Tomorrow is not a promise, and God does not want you to die in sin and go to hell, but to repent and believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life
      That is why Jesus Christ (God made Man) died on the cross. You broke the Law, but Christ paid your fine. He suffered in your place, as your Substitute, and rose again after three days, now seated at the right hand of the Father; He is King over all.
      "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
      Christ is coming soon.

    for everyone wondering, she had to get at least 85 to to stay in contention for Paris. So, may as well give yourself at least 3 shots at it (is my guess at what the strategy was, and it does make some sense). yes, it's an aggressive weight, but why waste chances on less? it sounds like she worked up to at least 80 in warm up, so, just got for it.

      the fact wannabe weighlifters who think they know shit because they are top 5 at their local gym saying you should build up as if they been at the top and trained top athletes for years is so funny. Not saying building up is wrong either, if it helps someone build up some confidence and they think its a better strategy thats totally fine as well. It's just a preference.

  • @RoyalDNA80

Either she’s not listening to coaches,or they’re giving her bad advice or she’s doing her own thing.

    I want to write my thoughts about Weightlifting House. I have been watching this channel for a while now. I think I joined just prior to Europeans this year. That money I spent to join to become a member is the best money I have ever spent on sporting events. These Pan-American's, Asian, European, and World's Championships are the best events in my opinion. I have become very accustomed to the great narration. I forget the Englishman's name, but that gentleman has an encyclopedic knowledge and memory of these lifters. I am starting to know some of these lifters well also, but that man has it down. Like I said, if you enjoy these videos, you should join. Not once have I ever regretted joining and paying the minuscule dues. Great job Gentlemen. Kudos. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
