In this weeks Strength Chat it was awesome to talk about all things training, nutrition, competing and a whole host of other topics with former CrossFit athlete turned weightlifter, winning the 2019 Pan American Championships, Alyssa Ritchey. This episode was probably one of my favourites to record as Alyssa provided some awesome content and gave a real insight into the world of a top-level athlete. We chatted about her transition from competing in CrossFit to taking on weightlifting full time, maintaining her weight and having a team around her for an individual sport, as well as how to balance life and training. A great episode and really enjoyable chat.
