“I started training with Rob at BHAF at the end of September 2012, shortly after making the B Team roster at Dublin Roller Derby.
I had one goal in mind, to make the A team by next tryouts. Which involved my becoming fitter, faster and most importantly stronger. Rob took on this challenge even though it was a sport he’s never heard of!
Roller derby is the fastest growing women’s sport in the world and is heavy hitting, full contact and often high speed. Due to my training with Rob I have improved my speed lap and endurance times, reduced my penalties and have remained injury free.
The most important difference I have found is my strength and stability on track, I am able to bust through opposition walls and fend off large hits that would previously knocked me to the floor.
In February 2013 I made the A team and was awarded Most Valuable Player in my first game for my new team. I credit this entirely to Rob and would recommend anybody looking to improve at their sport to train BHAF.”
Kaele went on to compete in her first powerlifting competition in the IPO National in March 2014 as we both felt we’d set one last challenge outside of Roller Derby before Kaele completed her move to London for Roller Derby. First outing and she won the novice category in her weight class!!
Kaele’s Top Lifts: Body Weight 63kg
Squat (Raw) 115kg in Competition 120kg in the gym
Deadlift (Raw) 132.5kg (over double body weight) just saying 😉
Bench (Raw) 47.5kg
Total: 290
Leg press 207.5kg x6… just adding this in as I personally think its impressive
