Who needs legdrive? 😂

Jokes aside. It looks heavy, it feels heavy. But it was good.

Long paused bench w/ 496lbs*225kgs.

Since I still frequently have trouble with the pause at the chest, I am continuing to work on that weak point.

Just because you are good at something, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to work at it or that you can’t improve.

Some easy reps at the secundary competition day w/ 548lbs*247,5kgs.

New plan, new weights. Sometimes you just have to hold back a little.

The rack and I are never going to be friends in this lifetime.

Even experienced athletes make mistakes; not every workout is the same. Yesterday was one of those workouts where I would have preferred to just go back home.

My strength is slowly coming back. After the last session, I really felt like just quitting and going home.

It happens to the best of us. I think.😅

After that moment of shock, I had to compose myself.😂

My second attempt at 572lbs*255kgs.

This attempt was far more important to me personally than the difficult third attempt. That’s because, with this lift, I finally broke through the mental barrier—which had been so tough for me—of hitting 551lbs*250kgs on the competition platform. For me, it was a huge step forward.

It was a great comeback, and now I definitely want more. Now we’ve come to conquer!

A small competition comeback with a 579lb*262,5kgs lift on my third attempt.
The current national record within the BVDK (IPF). I had actually intended to press 580lbs*263kgs but due to a rule change, I wasn’t permitted to make an official record attempt or increase the weight in that manner.

I think I can now say that I am one of the strongest natural competitive benchpressers in the country.

I’m not saying this for clicks or likes, or to show off. However, I always struggled with a specific weight at competitions; my mind would just shut down, and nothing would work. That chapter is closed now. ✅

For another thing, I am a very ambitious person. One of the strongest lifters in the country once told me that I was like his shadow when it came to performance, that he always had to watch his back. But that also implied that I would always be lagging slightly behind, even if I am the „shadow“ of powerlifting. That remark of his has stayed with me over the past few years.

But this competition showed me that progress isn’t a myth. Just do your own thing and don’t look left or right. Nothing is more important than you!

A huge thank you once again to @schwerathletikhamburg and @friendship_gym_hamburg you put on a fantastic competition, and for the first time in a long while, it was genuinely fun.

And, of course, to the family @liftingerdbeere @kylokujo @rumeysa.uez for the on-site support and for cheering me on from home.

You don’t always have to give 110%. Small steps help you grow.

558lbs*252,5kgs with a nice, long pause on the chest. It looks heavier than it actually was.

551lbs*250kgs as an opener?

If I were to enter a competition now, that would be a solid opener, wouldn’t it?

1. 562lbs*255kgs 2. 579lbs*262,5kgs (national record)

After a forced week-long break, it’s actually not bad at all. Yes, I know the pauses at the chest could have been better, and on the second, heavier attempt, I lost the bar path a bit and slightly lost my balance. But fortunately, I managed to catch the weight.

But I have to say one thing—even though I really shouldn’t care—it feels genuinely good to be able to lift the BVDK (IPF) national record in training after a break.
