Things come in waves, and I’m always more interested in places like, for instance, Chicago, where people don’t follow fashion.

You do that and you’re gonna have problems.

I know in my training, especially when I’m building up to a big ‘max,’ I can take as long as I want to be ready for that lift and mentally prepare for it. In the contest, some of that goes out the window. When your name is called and the bar is loaded, you’ve got to go whether you’re ready or not.

With wrestling, you don’t have that great of a window if you’re a woman. So for me, I’d say around 30 to 35 is where I’d be like ‘OK, I’m good.’ But if I haven’t accomplished everything I’ve wanted to and still have a chance to, then I’m going to keep doing it.
