Oklahoma State Championships (2/15/2026):

Squat - 190/202.5/215
Bench - 137.5/142.5
Deadlift - 222.5/237.5/247.5 (x)

tl;dr - I hit everything except my third deadlift (timed out my third bench). Frankly, the squat PR and leaving the meet feeling good physically far outweighed my mediocre bench and deadlift performance.

I walk away from this one happy with the way I rolled with the punches late in prep and thoroughly convinced there's a lot left in the tank in my lifetime.

As always, thanks @st3ft0n3s for all your support (and this terrible t-shirt), @davidwoolson for pushing me forward (and talking me off the ledge sometimes) and @mengb0b for handling me.

------------

Squats - Grinded out my third attempt for a 20kg meet PR and a 10kg PR overall; 205 was a (slightly less grindy) PR the week prior. Squats have always been my best meet lift. Everything just feels one attempt lighter than it did in training.

Bench - Opener felt good, but second was a grind so we scratched the third to save the right pec and bicep a little bit. If I knew I wasn't getting my third deadlift, I would've chosen to chip on my third to go for a PR but hindsight is 20/20 obviously.

Deadlift - Last warmup felt a little heavier than I expected but first attempt felt good so whatever. Took the usual 15kg jump to the second, which definitely moved better than it did the week prior.

My back was probably a bit toasted from the squat grind (and I was in my head after tweaking my back about a month out from the meet) so I didn't fight for the third like I should've. It is what it is.

P.S.: No videos since the stream cut out for my flight's squats. You had to be there I guess. 😂 by @_mediocrelifter
