#30 - Inspirational Interview | Post-Hysterectomy Return to High Level Powerlifting Competitions
A hysterectomy is a major surgery that needs time to recover from. Returning to powerlifting after a hysterectomy is safe but a process that needs to be respected and slow in order for the body to heal and rebuild.
Our goal with bringing on some of our clients is to share their unique stories, experiences with barbell training, and how their training has impacted their lives positively despite the negative medical narratives and belief systems surrounding barbell strength training in hopes that it inspires even just one person out there.
In this series of interviews each episode consists of a PRS client sharing their journey of overcoming injuries and illnesses, recovering from surgeries, and navigating changes in their lives and the role that barbell training has played throughout this process for each of them. These are just a handful of our clients that are truly inspiring and motivating and we hope that sharing their stories will inspire you, your patients or clients, or your family to incorporate barbell training into your life or continue barbell training during challenging times.
In this interview, we'll sit down and speak with PRS client Kim, an M1 lifter in Thailand. Kim is a 45 year old educator who began her powerlifting journey in 2017. She qualified for the Asian Classic Championships in 2020 and her plan to compete abruptly came to a halt when she was told she needed an emergency hysterectomy. Despite the abrupt disruption to her training, Kim was able to overcome the physical and psychological effects that this had on her, rebuild, and come back to compete in the Asian Classic Championships with a stronger mindset and more confidence in her body and training.
We're sharing Kim's story to inspire both men and women who feel disarmed by major, planned or unplanned, surgeries or illnesses to trust that, when you take the time and rebuild brick by brick and step by step, you can regain what you lost, and so much more.
