🚨 NEW PODCAST πŸŽ™ GUEST 🚨

We are incredibly excited to announce our new guest Mya Williams 😍

She is a 75kg Junior Powerlifting and Middleweight Strongwoman

Her recent awards include:

3rd Place Indiana Muscle March 2019

3rd Place Illinois Strongest July 2019

1st Place/Broke 4 state records IL State Championships March 2021

1st Place Battle of the Rhinos November 2021

1st Place/Broke 4 State Records Raw Power Challenge December 2021

I have broken 8 state records in the squat, bench, deadlift, and total. I will be heading to USAPL Junior Nationals in 2023.

As a college softball athlete on the Junior National Softball Team she traveled year round across the country to compete. When she tore her rotator cuff and labrum due to overuse and chronic malnutrition, I ended her career. It was a long and rough recovery- depression and the worsening of a pre-existing eating disorder.

She championed her pain ❀️ and began competing in Strongman and opened a Strength Sports gym @stoneandsteelathletics Steel Athletics. Alongside owning the gym and coaching athletes, I am a Public Health Director at a local non-profit.

Now she encourages people I can to start lifting for fun and strength as opposed to trying to make themselves smaller.
