I love Steve's healthy attitude about just seeing how it goes and have great respect for Olivia's healthy views on weight gain for women.

Mate this is such a beautiful documentary and I am glad you shared it with us.
She's an amazing athlete and person 💪🏽

Olivia just blows my mind because you could pass her on the street, chat to her in passing, and she’s a normal young woman.. but in the gym and in competition she’s pound-for-pound one of the strongest athletes in history. So cool.

It's so important that lifting and the gym (or club), are fun. If it's not fun, it's like a job.

Seb and team, you folks have such a gift for storytelling. This was beautifully shot and edited too, thanks very much

We must never forget how FUN it is to be really strong. That alone is plenty of reason for women to get strong.

I love her closing thought about wanting to become a stepping stone of sorts. First thing that came to my mind is that's exactly what Mattie Rogers essentially became for Olivia so it's a beautiful sentiment, to want for that to happen again and again. Olivia is humble nearly to a fault, the one and only thing she needs to continue to be a great weightlifter is to believe in her abilities.

This was a wonderful 3 part documentary, I m from greece in my 30s male and this helps me in a period that I needed to hear those real voices. The coach is a cool guy that any gym needs but almost never exists. I m glad these people had the opportunity to share their thoughts and I wanna say a big thank you from greece.

Olivia Reeves is the prime example of how powerful consistency over a long period of time is the absolute key to becoming world class (and just not getting hurt and progressing smartly).

This was an amazing mini series, but duuuuude that 20:26 - 20:30 snatch edit on the beat was A-MA-ZING. I think I said it before somewhere, but the way you edit is insanely beautiful.

The thing I love about both Reeves and Nassar is that they are both very normal, very human (for all that they are insanely strong and probably have capes somewhere) and your work on both of them has captured that normality, that humanity. It is by humanising the greats that we bring people in to our sports - especially the sports on the fringes that scare away many people. My wife and I powerlifted [badly, in my case lol], my oldest kid does insane things on inline skates and the best responses and the most engagement we got/get is when we made it seem normal... you've done that with this documentary, well done.

14:40 I've been eating scrambled eggs, egg whites, mixed veggies, 2-3 types of beans (including black), and ground turkey for breakfast for the better part of a decade. It's amazing, and for me it never gets old. 😍
