26’ PA Age Division Nationals Meet Recap:

Oh this is gonna be fun and long (sorry but def worth the read…I think). This prep was something else. I had told Meg I wanted to approach this differently than I had any other prep and for me that meant surrendering it to God. I truly wanted to incorporate him more in my lifting and not let it be something that identified me because to me, it wasn’t and never will be who I am but it is an important part of my life. I saw so much growth and improvement throughout. But boy were those externals tough. I had to manage unexpected grief and so many unknowns. The beautiful thing throughout all of this is that God always met me where I was at. Showing up for myself day in and day out while my life felt like it was falling apart was so hard but is a testament for how much I had grown as a lifter and person. As much as I lost, I had gained and so much more. I am extremely blessed to have gone though that regardless of how many tears were shed (which was a lot…Im not kidding).

I went 8/9 and ended with a total of 427.5kgs/940.5lbs. I tried to pull into 3rd (even though it wasn’t the number we had written down) but couldn’t lock it out. I have never touched 402 a day in my life so to be able to somehow get it close to lock out was insane to see.

The cool thing about this meet was that even though not present, I was surround by some friends. My singlet was gifted to me by @spfitmama . My knee sleeves were actually Megs and she gifted me my shoes. And I got my shirt from my trip to Albany with my friends to support them at states. Literally was surrounded by those who weren’t physically there but had supported me along the way.

Thank you to @megcarey.kenmorebarbell for all she does. You’re not only an incredible coach but friend and your support means everything.

Thank you to @lemieuxtrainingsystems for handling me and trusting me in my decisions. I appreciate all your help and laughs as we had a very stressful session and did all we could.

And thank you to my @kenmorebarbell family for supporting me throughout and having bigger dreams for myself than i ever could have.

the whole point of powerlifting is to lift to comp standard and as much weight as possible regardless of how you do it🤷🏽‍♀️ by @annewithoutaninsta

Nationals ‘25 recap

This was my first national comp. Ended with a total of 400kg which is +22.5kg total from my last meet with all of my third attempts being platforms PR’s! Also the first meet I went 8/9!

squat 170kg (+12.5kg)
bench 72.5kg (+2.5kg) (ik i posted the 80kg bench but I’m proud of her)
dead’s 157.5kg (+7.5kg)

Overall I ended up in 4th for the raw junior women’s 69kg class. Such a huge feat that could not have been done without so many people!

i want to thank @megcarey.kenmorebarbell first and foremost. you have been my absolute rock since beginning this sport and i would not have been able to grow at this rate without you! you have held it down since the beginning and did so much for not only myself but everyone who competed. you are absolute super woman and could not be more blessed to have you as a coach but most importantly as a friend. 🤍🌙🔙

to @vin.kenmorebarbell : i cannot thank you enough for all you do. it would’ve been awesome to have you there for my first nationals but given the circumstances, it wasn’t possible. i know how much you cheered for us all and am glad we got to do this for you!

to my @kenmorebarbell family, i love you all so much! thank you for the support and for always cheering me on in and out of the gym!

and of course, I’m just blessed and grateful to be apart of such a wonderful sport! God is so good and I’ve been fortunate enough to have a body that can do what it does!

grateful to all the new friends i made this weekend and am excited to see everyone grow in this sport!!💙 by @annewithoutaninsta
