My Big Fat Fabulous Life: Whitney Pulling Off Impressive Lifts
Before the reality TV diva got on the mat, she was struggling to keep her cool. But the fact that her family and friends were in the audience cheering her on, it’s not a surprise that Whitney brought home a medal.
Months before Whitney participated in the North Caroline State weightlifting championship, she worked hard with her coach who prepared her for the big competition. When the time of the competition started to come close, Whitney started to think that her coach was focusing more on the form than lifting itself.

Whitney’s fears were put to rest when she finally got to take a medal home. It was an indication that her performance was more than satisfactory and that her efforts were worth it. There were three snatch lifts, and Whitney cleared two of them. But due to her arm movement, they disqualified the third one.
In the past, she has practiced clean, and jerk lifts with her personal trainer Jessica Powell. Her second attempt had 88 Lbs as the weight. But she was unable to get through that. Nevertheless, her coach increased the weight to 90 lbs, and she broke her own record.
After the contest was over, Whitney was shocked to hear her name when they were giving out awards. In the weight class, she won second place.
