my partner, showing me the water-softener refilling protocols: ok, now u put in the bag of salt.
*pause*
him: u should do it to make sure you can lift the (40#) bag.
me, a weightlifter:
#lifting #WomenWhoLift #Weightlifting #Strong #Silly

when my smart-watch overcounts my reps when I am lifting: Huh, maybe I miscounted... that did feel a lil hard..

when my smart-watch undercounts my reps: HA. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO COUNT, WATCH?! CLEARLY, I AM A PERFECT COUNTER AND YOU ARE WRONG.

When you max out a weight stack doing wide seated rows… And need to brace otherwise it also drags you forward! 😳🤣

From training earlier this week at @ptupersonaltraininggym with @aktpersonaltraining #powerlifting #womenwholift #gains #strong

Tonight Bart Conner and Kathy Johnson Clark are on the call for #AuburnGymnastics.

At one point, they laughed in disbelief that one of the# LSU gymnasts power lifts for stress relief. “Can you BELIEVE that?”

Yes. Women and girls lift heavy. Let’s normalize it, not laugh at it.

Thank heaven for She's a Beast because some of these hit too close to home! 😩

I JUST WANT TO START LIFTING WEIGHTS WITHOUT GETTING RED-PILLED

"Are there any strength coaches who aren’t fortyish white men with shaved heads and beards? Oh wait, here’s a woman! Shit, that’s an old video of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Crossfit gym."

Don't skip leg day, crush them with your thighs. 🤷‍♀️

I tried on some old office clothes, and the place they don’t fit? My freaking biceps. I apparently have biceps now.

I don’t think I’m actually complaining. I’m just more surprised than anyone by this turn of events. It’s usually my shoulders that get muscles

Today’s workout combined #running and atlas lunges, which combine lunges with a bonus extra squat at the end just for extra fun.

I was wanting a lower body workout because my shoulder was sore, but that seems excessive.

Pre-workout special elixer: jasmine green tea and bonkers amount of sweet sweet sugar. #weightlifting #womenwholift

Here is an #introduction post of sorts!

Maybe some of you have already been following me. In case you weren’t, don’t know who I am, or want to know more: Fear not!

I’m just a chonky purple raccoon that loves carbs and deadlifts! (My avatar has a name! It’s “Mittens”!)

That’s it! That’s the post. 👋

But, no… For real! My name is Stacy and I’m a Senior Solutions Engineer. I currently work in Cybersecurity Education and Training, but prior to that, I’d worked as an Information Security Analyst for a CISO of a sizable financial organization and was a Security Engineer and Solutions engineer at two other cybersecurity vendors, respectively.

I like to say I “specialize” in Security Strategy, Leadership, Security Awareness, Mitigating Human Risk, as well as high-level Cloud and DevSecOps Security and Compliance.

Aside from all that, I enjoy public speaking, learning new things, solving problems, creating art, making comics, writing blogs and stories, working out, powerlifting (aka picking up heavy things and putting them down again), playing video games, watching animation and anime, cosplaying, hanging out with my partner (who is a pentester), and doing the most good!

Now that you know what gets me that sweet, sweet dopamine, you may also be interested in knowing what I’m passionate about: Diversity, equity, inclusion, mental health, and advocating to minimize harassment, discrimination, bigotry, abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

Anyway! It’s great to see an amazing #infosec #community being built here!

(Note: I don’t *always* post about work or infosec-related stuff, especially when I’m not at work (as to not burn myself out), so expect a slice of life and variety of things from me!)
