Ep. 326: Celia Gold | The Mindset of an Elite Weightlifter

This goes down as one of my favorite episodes of the podcast! I had the honor of speaking with Celia Gold about her journey from an obsessive CrossFit competitor to a weightlifter who is competing on the international stage for Israel.

We discuss competing at the Arnold on the Rogue Strength stage, sharing the platform with some of the best athletes in the world. We talk about the chaos of competition environments and what it takes to stay focused when the stakes are high.

We also dive into her journey into the sport — from CrossFit and the CrossFit Games to committing fully to weightlifting, training with coaches like Bo Sandoval and Bob Morris, and representing Israel internationally.

Along the way, we discuss training philosophy, learning to compete with patience and intention, managing injuries, and how athletes evolve mentally as their careers progress.

Enjoy.
