And that wraps it up for Latin America! This group had such great questions today. It was so much fun opening up discussion to talk about weightlifting in different contexts. Thank you @fuerzacrossfit for hosting such a great event today. Off now to lift with some boys from the Colombian weightlifting team.

Got invited to train at The Olympic Training Center in Guayaquil, Ecuador by head coach Profe. Edison Carriel. Here, the women and men lift in separate halls. I got time in with the junior women yesterday evening and trained along side them. What a great experience watching so many girls (all under the age of 20 with the youngest being 8) lift weights. Thank you Profe. Edison Carriel and my hosts at Kallpa CrossFit (@kallpaevents) for organizing such a fun evening!

Spent the morning learning from Profe. Edison Carriel, head coach of the weightlifting federation here in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Profe. Carriel coaches classes here @kallpaevents Monday through Thursday from 730-9AM each morning. I had the pleasure of speaking with him after class asking questions about the Olympic weightlifting lifestyle down in Ecuador. It’s fun learning how each country approaches this sport. I will be heading down to the federation this afternoon to train with some of the girls from the Ecuadorian national team. Can’t wait!

Buenos Aires, Argentina in a diptic. Had a great couple of days thanks to my hosts CrossFit @tuluka. It’s a beautiful city with a warm culture and amazing grilled meats. Thank you for the great experience, new friendships and wonderful memories!

Just wrapped up a great workshop at @tuluka. 60 athletes came to weightlift on a Saturday night. Argentina knows how to roll. Epic.
