Deadlift Queen III is live in the app today and I'm not going to pretend I'm not a little emotional about it.

DQ was the program that put a lot of you under a barbell for the first time. It's the one people message me about the most. And for good reason — there's something about building toward a 1RM deadlift test that just hits different. You can measure what you became.

This version is rebuilt. Smarter structure, a new Express track for the weeks when life doesn't cooperate, and the same 11-week build toward a max pull at the end.

If you've never tried SBTD, new members get the first week completely free. That's all of Day 1 through your first full week of the program — no charge. You'll know by then if it's for you.

I think it will be.

This video has been out for 9 days now and I honestly wasn't sure how people would receive it.

I talked about closing the doors to my gym. About building something that completely got away from me. About logging into a work meeting three days after my daughter was born — baby on my lap — and not even pausing to question it. About how I spent years chasing a version of success that I had borrowed from someone else, without ever stopping to ask if it was actually what I wanted.

And somewhere along the way, I stopped saying the thing I believe most: that lifting weights will change your life. That getting stronger is worth everything. That was always the point. I just lost it for a while.

The response has meant a lot. So many of you have reached out saying you've felt this too — that weird, creeping feeling of being busy and off course at the same time. Building a life that looks right from the outside but doesn't feel like yours anymore.

If you haven't watched it yet, I hope you do. And if you have — thank you. Really.

This is the most honest thing I've put out in a long time. I'm glad it's landing.

👊🏻🏋️‍♀️ Life after competitive powerlifting

It’s been 6+ years since my last meet 🤯 and 6 years of running my program Stronger by the Day (with a few pregnancy/postpartum gaps) 🥹

My Biggest PRs since leaving the platform:

👉🏻 became a mom of 2! (and done being pregnant again!)
👉🏻 I am now one of those people who can see my obliques and abs year-round. I always thought genetically I was incapable of that without cutting. 🤯
👉🏻 In 2015-2019 I truly believed I could not possibly look any stronger. I surprise myself every time I do one of these recaps.

👉🏻 Stronger by the Day now has 25,000+ ACTIVE users. What started as a glorified weekly blog is THE app for women serious about strength. In the app we all:

➡️ Connect with each other daily
➡️ Pushing themselves like a strength athlete
➡️ Have purpose to their training

This week only:
Join (or rejoin if you want to try again) Stronger by the Day with an EXTENDED 14 day trial.

It’s exclusive to BFCM and applies even if you were a member before.

Tap here to download the app: strongerbytheday.onelink.me/WzSC/megyt

Or go to StrongerByTheDay.app

Lock in the free 14 days, then memberships are as low as $8.33/month.

I’ll never say no to a barbell. And honestly? Stronger by the Day is still a powerlifter’s offseason plan… with more glute work, more novelty, and phases that keep training fun.

✨ I’ll be honest — this one got emotional.

When I first stepped into the gym, it wasn’t about chasing strength numbers or PRs. It was about trying to fix myself. I thought fitness was a chore, something to suffer through to look “better.”

But somewhere along the way, lifting stopped being about punishment — and became about power. 💪 It gave me confidence, self-respect, and the ability to truly love my body for what it can do.

That’s why this new video is so special to me. It’s not just about training — it’s about how lifting can completely change your life, far beyond your physique.

📺 Watch the full video here.

And if lifting has changed your life too, even in the smallest way… I’d love to hear your story in the comments. ❤️
