Adventuring with Osteoarthritis A Powerlifter's Journey to Breaking Records Despite Osteoarthritis
Have you ever considered weightlifting with arthritis?!
Mava is a powerlifter who was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and was able to qualify and compete in the WORLDS MEET in 2018 for Canada. How awesome is that?!
After successfully powerlifting in her twenties, to a 34 year break for her kids, she returned to powerlifting in her 60s despite dealing with osteoarthritis in most of her joints.
She describes how she modified her training, her top training tools to help her arthritic hands, shoulders, and knees and her tips for recovery. She is lifting more now than she was in her twenties in all of her lifts (squat, deadlift, and bench).
This is a clear reason why you don't have to dream small when it comes to osteoarthritis. You just have to get started and make sure you have someone to help guide you along the way.
