Rachel Siemens understood the physical demands meant a potentially short career. However, it was shortened even earlier by an injury and so she chose to study kinesiology at UVIC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel became a self-described gym rat and passionate about Olympic Weightlifting. Slowly she worked her way up the Canadian ranks and used Cloud-funding to compete at the World University Games in Russia. There, she saw years of training boil down to six short minutes (three attempts at \u201cSnatch\u201d and three at \u201cClean &amp; Jerk\u201d) judged purely on technique and amount of weight lifted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With new goals and her coaches wisdom, she is fighting to make the National Team requiring a 91+kg (200lbs) Snatch and a 115+kg (254lbs) Clean &amp; Jerk. For Siemens, Weightlifting is meditation; harnessing her inner strength and moving passed personal issues she is able to let it all go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel inspires others with her blog and coaching while focusing on attending the Commonwealth Games 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id555_33c3f5-e1 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column555_aab36f-3b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column555_aab36f-3b\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading555_4b53bf-58\">Please Support Our Patrons!<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A twist in the plan and now it\u2019s a snatch As a contortionist for the circus, Rachel Siemens understood the physical demands meant a potentially short career.
