Angelina Elovikova, a Russian powerlifter and silver medalist, is proving that strength goes beyond the gym. Recently, she opened up on Instagram about her journey as an entrepreneur, reflecting on her venture into e-commerce and her drive to explore new opportunities. “I’m not afraid to explore and try different fields of activity,” she shared, adding, “Right now, I’m experimenting with various directions… searching for that one where I’ll want to invest my soul.”
Elovikova also spoke candidly about facing challenges in her career, emphasizing the importance of resilience and community. “Only people can bring warmth, offer support, and lend a helping hand,” she wrote. Whether she’s conquering deadlifts, traveling, or adapting to new plans, Elovikova demonstrates a relentless determination to thrive in every area of her life.
1. She deadlifts
Deadlifting challenges her, both mentally and physically. On a photo on Instagram, she said, “I love you with all my heart♥️ And we have a very stormy relationship😂 With scandals, grievances and bright reconciliation 😂😂🤦🏻♀️ I even got a tattoo with your name, but you still show me your character for 10 years. Deadlift ♥️❤️🩹#powerlifting #deadlift #strongwomen #world2021 #biglegs,” translated to english. According to the Mayo Clinic, “strength training is a key component of overall health and fitness for everyone.”
2. She travels
It’s important to find balance. On a video of beautiful scenery and Angelina working out, spending time taking care of herself, she captioned it, “no matter how life unwinds you, you can always buy a one-way ticket to where they are waiting for you, recover, lick your wounds, return to the usual rhythm of life and a real miracle will happen. You will find a way out,” she said, translated to english.
3. She can shift her plans
She adjusts mentally as needed. On this Instagram video, she said “when something doesn't go according to plan..Change plans! And it will turn out even better than it was originally planned 🚀🚀🚀 Because the main thing is not the plan. The main thing is the Goal. And it doesn't matter how exactly you get to It @julia.pogodina_ ❤️,” she said, translated to english.
4. She stays on track
Even when she’s away, she stays on track with her workouts, as seen here on Instagram in a video of her working hard in the gym. “I fly all over the country and train in different gyms and cities✈️🐈⬛This is my amazing life🌪️Today we visited a gym in the city of Tambov, stretched our backs, resurrected pull-ups in our training plan, today I managed to do 8 on my own)) which I am certainly happy about. The goal is 12-15 strict pull-ups with my not modest weight of 72 kg 😊Traveling is always a way out of the comfort zone. And every trip is a small life🌄Life is too short to sit at home. And a trip is not a reason to eat everything in a row and not find time for the gym. There are no motivators. Desire and goal are your best motivator💫If you don’t do it = you don’t want to. And there is no other way,” she said on Instagram, translated to english.
5. She’s driven
She stays motivated, working toward big goals. Elovikova took to Instagram to say “if you do sports, then set records. If you earn money, then make millions. The most difficult time is the time of transition from one version of yourself to another,” she said, translated to English.
