Hey guys! Attempts were mixed up. Bench second attempt was 107.5 KG l 236.9 lbs and third attempt was 110 KG l 242 Lbs. Deadlift second attempt was 240KG l 529 lbs and third attempt was 245KG l 540 lbs. Sorry for the mix up!

The way you guys interact with each other cracks me up. I wish I had a group of friends like that that loved fitness as much as you guys do. It’s extremely important to have a support system when you’re going through something tough like that. Wish you the best of luck in everything Stefi, will continue to always support ya. Keep going.

Absolutely awesome video, I have been super impressed with the weightlifting community since my return in 2020. Nothing about gains is easy, nothing about competition is easy, but when the community sees your serious everything changes and the amount of help and respect for each other and what we do foes far beyond what I've ever seen before.

[@dag1869]

Perhaps in a follow-up video, it'd be great to hear your feedback about this weight cutting method vs your prior method(s)...as far as any performance differences noticed during the actual competition.

[@davidzplace2011]

Just wanted to say you are such an inspiration, I am a 54 year old man, that's just started weight lifting about 7 months back, loving it and now my forever life style, I also hope the " your so hot this n that" does not put you off, most here see way beyond that, we see the athlete, support crew and dedication :)

You are Incredible Stefi. Hard work pays off and look at how strong you are. Keep up the great work!

you are correct! she is awesome! use your skills to level up! cheers!!!

What's the science behind the ice bath? How does that help cut weight? I know it's great for circulation and reduces swelling in joints and sore muscles. But weight loss? I'm curious to know the thought process behind it.

I never understood people that would arch their back when benchpressing. It seems like that would be dangerous, but i have seen so many people do it over the years so I guess its not that bad. Its awesome that your bf supports you. Keep up the good work.💪

[@jan7003]

Adam Childers arching your back is in fact much safer for your shoulder joints on the bench press as it takes a lot of pressure of the front delts. Also since the force is vertically aligned, unlike during the deadlift or squat, it has no bad effect on the spine whatsoever.

[@adam8137]

@@jan7003 well that is interesting to find out. For 22 years I have always been scolded for arching my back and being told to keep my back flat unless I want to hurt my back. Thanks for the info.👍

[@ryanlangham6134]

Stephi why the coconut oil before the sauna? I tried looking up on it but cannot find the reasoning behind it. Thanks!

[@MichL_71]

I think it was to make her sweat more.

[@ryanlangham6134]

I meant more of the physiology behind it. Coconut oil is a lipid which to me would make a barrier over her skin and would make it harder for her body to sweat.

[@sorayaimperial]

@@ryanlangham6134 I'd speculate that it is to avoid skin damage or too much osmotic pressure on the top skin layer. The point is to progressively sweat, not to fully chafe your body dry. I'd assume it makes it slower but safer to go to extreme levels like this. I found this quote: "Moisturize your face and body before or immediately upon entering a sauna. Use a light moisturizer - such as a day cream - if you have oily skin, and a heavier one - such as coconut oil - if your skin is dry." Also found vaseline as suggested for people who are prone to extreme skin dryness.

This Ms. Stefi was a video of AWESOMENESS, it is real, authentic and you as always showing your extreme natural beauty from inside out. After this video and listening to all the podcast you did with Jujimufu talking about some of your insecurities I promise you it's only in your head, none of them are real and well nobody is perfect, you are pretty darn close. You show your personality with no fear and show how humble you are and showing with a balance, showing the balance of all Mind Body and Soul.... there is not one thing from your beauty to your mind that you need to change... just let them all grow naturally and you will end up being that perfect woman and person everyone is looking for.... and take your man along for the ride with you lol, he's a good man, you two have a special understanding together and mutual respect most people forget that exist and that itself is already more growth than you realize ..... and also... what Joe Sheppard says about the voice over

[@canadianhiker721]

@Gore4ever FulciLives ... I don't understand the purpose of this response it does not really have anything to do with my comment, I'm sure she understands if you listened to ALL the interviews and how do you know she is / was taking peds? I mat appear but i know for fact to have her body it is possible to it completely clean, yes it's hard long work with a great deal of dedication, how do you know she doesn't have it? Talking about the Psych aspect of it, body dysmorphia and insecurities I'm fully aware, the psych of it is what I do... my question to you would be why would you respond to a comment made out of respect, awareness and gratitude of Stefi's accomplishments for being a role model to so many people (and hopefully herself as well) looking for the role model who never had one to be strong and healthy and your response is to only focus on the negative and the things you can not confirm at which point are only allegations, your response is an 11 word response and you couldn't and wouldn't just make 1 more positive sentence to balance it out... hmmm i wonder why that would be?
