IDENTITY, BODY IMAGE, AND MISSING WEIGHT AT WORLDS | Isabella Von Weissenberg

Isabella Von Weissenberg is no doubt one of the first names that comes to mind when you think strong female lifters in the IPF, and for good reason. Isabella has broken the squat world record EIGHT times in the u72kg class which is why we were all surprised in 2018 when she made the decision to the u63kg class. We talk about missing weight that year at the World Championships, the dieting process, disordered eating habits that can develop from a big weight cut, and fusing our identity with lifting. An important episode that takes a deep dive into the experience for Isabella and all she has learnt over the past few years being at the top of the game.
