Last high school meet and second national title, officially in the books. I'm grateful for everyone who has supported me up to this point. I am also blessed beyond words to have this experience along everything high school powerlifting has given me. Omaha was such a lively city, and I had a blast exploring it, and at this meet. Good s
job to all the Waukesha South Athletes for showing out and getting us the team award for Mens Raw Varsity.

Special thanks to @coach_salb and @aspirestrengthsystems for helping handle me on meet day. @lemieuxtrainingsystems for his Illustrious programming and for missing part of a wedding to handle my squat. @totalflexgym for a clean training facility with all my powerlifting necessities. @jeanniezcpa9695 and @jon.zukauskas for letting me come along with them and stay in their hotel.

With the end of an era comes a new one. I will take the next year to prepare for the collegiate level and juniors. taken in Omaha, Nebraska by @alenz.07pl

I want to start by thanking my wonderful friends and family for supporting me on my journey to get here both mentally and financially, I couldn't have gotten here without any of you. I'd also like to thank the almighty @lemieuxtrainingsystems for working his voodoo magic this prep to get me healthy in time for the meet as well as offer his supurb programming as always. I'd like to thank @totalflexgym for keeping a clean, well ran, training facility with all the comp equipment a powerlifter could need.
I had an absolute blast in the Caymans. I met so many kind and talented athletes from all over, and got to try so many new things. The entire island was gorgeous, and there were sights wherever you walked. I never thought that powerlifting could ever take me to such a beautiful place, and Im just so grateful I got this wonderful experience.
This prep was one of the more difficult ones I've done leading into a meet. With having just completed 3 meets in the last 3-4 months, I was very sensitive to fatigue and ended up sustaining a minor back injury 4 weeks out; causing me to fail lifts nearly 100kg under my max.
That being said, Im very happy with how my squat a deadlift bounced back in that short amount of time. However, execution on meet day wasn't the best, and the IPF judging shed a light onto that. There are still many flaws in my technique that I'll need to focus on in this off-season. I went against some very talented lifters that I simply couldn't beat with these mistakes, and this only motivates me to do better. But for now, Im taking a week off to enjoy family, friends, and much needed rest. Until next time.

I'm extremely happy with how this meet turned out. I got 1st place along with breaking the PA Wisconsin state Squat, Bench, Deadlift ,and total records in the 93kg weight class with a 707.5kg total @88.4kg bw and 461DOTS score. Shoutout to everyone who podiumed because this weightclass was stacked with 30+ competitors; there was such a great amount of talent in that room.

This would not have been possible, of course, without the marvelous programming and meticulous meet day handling of my couch @lemieuxtrainingsystems, Lettuce get an NAPF invite hopefully🥬🥬.

A big thanks to @coach_salb for helping every step of the way here in any way he can. He's the one who initially pushed me to pursue powerlifting and has helped with more than he wants to admit.

Training with the competition equipment over at @totalflexgym also prepared me well for this meet.

Thank you to all of my wonderful friends and family who came to cheer for me and support me. You guys made coming out here and competing so much more fun. taken in Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel by @alenz.07pl

When Bobby Salb (@coach_salb) took over as the head coach of the weight room at Waukesha South, a couple of students asked him if he was going to keep the school’s powerlifting team going. His response, "We had a powerlifting team?" That was in 2023, and just three years later, Salb led South’s powerlifting team to a high school national title as the Men’s Raw varsity team took first place at the Powerlifting America National Champions this past weekend in Omaha, Neb.

Amazing meet. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Hit all my planned top ends and had a blast doing so. I was considering not doing this meet coming into this season due to general burnout with doing meets, but I decided to stick it out to get my get back, and I'm glad I did. I've come so far as a lifter and person since I first competed in this meet, and I'm sure Sophmore me would be proud.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out and supported me or even just was there and cheering me on. You all made this meet a super fun and memorable experience for me, and I appreciate it.

A special thanks to @coach_salb and @aspirestrengthsystems for excellent meet day handling and for making the whole process seamless. And @totalflexgym for providing a clean gym with all my powerlifting necessities.

And of course, a big thanks to the great @lemieuxtrainingsystems for the meticulous, and some may even say malicious, programming that lead me to feel tip top on meet day.

With that, my time in WHSPA comes to an end. However, I am far from finished. With high school nationals 40 days away, there's no time to let off the gas and one thing left to do.

Overall, fun meet. Love to see Waukesha Souths team get bigger every year. Thanks to the wonderful @lemieuxtrainingsystems as always for making meet day feel flawless. Original plan was to scratch all the 3rds, but me AND my coach were feeling silly on deadlift (he didn't want me to take it). Feeling strong and good for a lot more; back to the lab. taken in Elkhorn Area High School by @alenz.07pl
