When Jacky joined GrassIron in the summer of 2023, she started with general strength training. A few months later, she decided she wanted to learn the Olympic lifts. From that point on, she was ALL IN.
As if chasing PRs wasn't enough, Jacky has also been working toward her PhD. Before moving to Houston for an internship, she set one final goal: snatch 55 kg. It was a number she'd been pursuing for a long time, making it both meaningful and challenging.
During her final week in Austin, she took a break from packing, headed to the gym, and gave it everything she had. And guess what?!?!
SHE SNATCHED 55KG!
Jacky, your perseverance is truly inspirational. Balancing the demands of doctoral studies and a major move all while chasing 55kg is no small feat. Congratulations on achieving an incredible milestone! Houston's lucky to have you - we'll be cheering you on from Austin as you chase the next one!*
