Part 4 of our Strong Women series with Lucy

It’s not just physical. There’s a big mental aspect to it, you can have all the muscle in the world and still get your ass handed to you. Just because they have more muscle than me, more weight than me, or they’re taller than me, doesn’t mean they can just throw me around. When I go up against someone who’s bigger than me or heavier than me, I can still win it. I’m able to use my strength more effectively to get the outcome I want. I’ll get into a position that I know I’m safe and then once they’re done trying to muscle through something, once they’re tired, then it’s on my terms. Even though I’m a girl and smaller then all of them. I can still win. That’s really satisfying. That’s what makes me feel strong.
