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!

And it’s a wrap! Spent a great 4 days down in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thank you @tuluka for being such great hosts. Today’s seminar was great and it was a fun experience working with a translator for the first time. Guayaquil, Ecuador is up next!

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