Strength at 40+ with the Strongwoman Masters Squad

Valkyrie Garage

The ultimate Strongwoman Squad drops by the garage -- three women from the @grassrootscrossfit team who are redefining what strength over 40 means as competitive Masters athletes at the National level. Natalie Studer, 47, is a kindergarten teacher who channels Maria von Trapp at work. Her strength alter ego, Rage Butterfly, has a fierce war cry that inspires awe and chills. Follow her @rage_butterfly to get fired up to train at 5:30 am. Molly Merson, 42, is a psychotherapist who journeyed from HIIT bootcamper to Crossfitter to Nationals Strongwoman competitor and earned the nickname Tenacious Bee for her driving ferocity in the gym. Follow her @barbelledreams. Lola Schneir is an artist and parent who decided to take on Strongman training 6 months ago and is now headed to Nationals at almost 50. Follow her @lolaresinartist. We talk about how facing the Atlas stones make you fearless in other areas, how training emboldens you to ask for what you want, how to get more protein in, and how the secret to Natalie's poppin' shoulder definition may actually be her "sleep hat."
