Ansel's challenge of 35,000kg in 30 days🏋️
🇪🇸Hola a todes, soy Ansel. Mi peso corporal es de 50 kg, ¡y voy a levantar un total de 35.000 kg en 30 días! Hago este reto no solo por mí, sino por los animales. Esto incluirá un press de banca, sentadillas y peso muerto ⚡. (My story in English below 🇬🇧)
Me encanta el powerlifting 🏋️♀️. Cuando era peque, creía que no era lo suficientemente buene como para lograr algo más allá de lo que conseguiría una persona promedio en mi barrio. Ahora ya como adulte 🌱, a pesar de los pensamientos intrusivos y el auto sabotaje que me juega la mente de vez en cuando, estoy empezando a desaprender esa creencia. Sé de lo que soy capaz, y quiero demostrar, no solo a quienes me rodean sino también a mí misme, que no necesito ser un hombre cisgénero ni un consumidor de carne para levantar pesos pesados 🥦💪.
Me gusta ponerme grandes retos personales para poder mirar atrás mi vida con orgullo ✨ y saber lo que significó trabajar duro para lograr algo que en su momento fue más grande que yo. Quiero llegar a ser abogade ⚖️, quiero levantar pesos grandes y tal vez competir nacional o internacionalmente 🏋️, y por sobre todas las cosas, quiero contribuir a la lucha por la liberación animal 🐖🐓🐑💚.
Creo que defender a los animales es uno de mis deberes de vida. Recuerdo la primera vez que visité un matadero. Nunca olvidaré la mirada en los ojos de la víctima 💔, los olores y los gritos. Saber que estarían muertos en unas pocas horas me cambió para siempre. Sentí rabia, tristeza, culpa y vergüenza hacia mí misme y hacia nuestra especie por haber creado el infierno en Tierra para elles. Darme cuenta de que yo también era responsable de esto, de que pagaba para que les hicieran eso, me hizo hacerme vegan en el acto 🌱✨ y empezar a defenderles📢 — porque si no lo hacía yo, ¿quién lo haría?
Me sentí feliz al descubrir We The Free ✊🌍 y conocer a otras personas que se preocupaban tan apasionadamente por esta causa como yo ❤️. El dinero recaudado a través de este reto será TRIPLICADO por el programa de donaciones igualadas de WTF, y se destinará a apoyar a nuestro equipo de voluntaries en Lima 🇵🇪, lo que nos permitirá continuar con nuestro activismo callejero 🪧 por los animales, quienes nos necesitan desesperadamente 🐮🐷🐔.

🇪🇸Mi maravilloso equipo de activistas 🙌💚
Gracias 🙏 por tomarte el tiempo de leer esto. Cualquier cantidad que puedas donar será enormemente apreciada y cambiará la vida de miles de animales. Recuerda — somos capaces de cualquier cosa si nos lo proponemos de verdad. Solo come tus vegetales, sé disciplinade, persistente, y deja a los animales fuera de tu plato.
Hi everyone, I’m Ansel. My body weight is 50kg, and I’ll be lifting a total of 35,000kg in 30 days! I’m doing this challenge not just for myself, but for the animals. This will be achieved through bench press, squat, and deadlift ⚡.
I love powerlifting 🏋️♀️. When I was a kid, I believed I wasn’t good enough to achieve anything beyond what the average person in my neighbourhood could. Now, as an adult 🌱, despite intrusive thoughts and self-sabotage that sometimes get in the way, I’m starting to unlearn that belief. I know what I am capable of, and I want to show not only those around me but also myself that I don’t need to be a cisgender man or a meat-eater to lift heavy weights 🥦💪.
I like to set myself big personal challenges so I can look back on my life with pride ✨ and know what it meant to work hard for something that once felt bigger than me. I want to become a lawyer ⚖️, I want to lift heavy and maybe compete nationally or internationally 🏋️, and above all, I want to contribute to the fight for animal liberation 🐖🐓🐑💚.
