Newman takes 2nd Place at the Arnold
It’s official, Coach Kristin Newman is one of the strongest women in the world. We are so proud of her spectacular performance at the Arnold StrongWoman World Championship! Here’s a brief recap with links to the full story.
Summary:
My experience at The Arnold Strongwoman World Champion was beyond even what I allowed myself to daydream about. I was able to deadlift my way into the finals (top four women in each weight class), and my experience with the log clean and press plus my speed in the power stairs secured me a second place finish. The whole time I was super grateful to have my coach there talking me through each event and not letting me get too in my head about everything.
Prelims:
1) Circus dumbbell- 100lbs ground to overhead, max reps in 60 secs.
2) Super yoke carry – 450 lbs, 120 ft as fast as possible

Finals:
1) Last man standing log clean and press (I got a chance to attempt a middle weight women’s world record of 215lbs)
