PA Nationals recap

Squat 245kg/540lb PR
Bench 147.5/325lb
Deadlift 270/595lb
Total 662.5kg

Blessed to compete in Atlanta with family in attendance at my first nationals. Despite some decent training lifts in prep, I really struggled at this meet. 155kg bench would’ve been a meet PR and 280kg deadlift would’ve given me a total PR despite the missed bench. Silver lining was a nice squat PR on second attempt. Huge thank you to @ope_its_heavy for guiding me through prep despite the inconsistent sleep, work travel, etc, and for traveling to handle me. Stay tuned to see if I can ever fill out a weight class taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @billyhatesgravity

The 5 reds pull was my biggest goal for the day, and I knew it was gonna be there. ATPR and +25kg meet PR

Team LTS went to Stoughton, WI yesterday to bench press reps to raise money for a great cause, supporting @imagineacademywi

I benched my bodyweight for 17 reps (video starts on rep 6 after I hit the rack and restarted)

USAPL Gainsgiving Open Recap

Bad day on the platform, but I still had a great time at my first meet. The handling from @ope_its_heavy and support from @airik.xe (and many others) was incredible

Squat: 215kg/474lb (496lb moved fast but was called for soft knees, don’t have a good angle vid anyway)
Bench: 135kg/297lb 
Deadlift: 250kg/551lb opener
BW: 90.7kg/200lb could’ve signed up as a 90 but trying to bulk

Pretty embarrassing to go 3/9 despite moving the weight on 7/9 attempts. Put together a 600kg total. Plenty to learn from and address going forward taken in Limitless Elite Gym by @billyhatesgravity
