powerlifting has brought me so much joy, pride in what my body can do, and friends across the world. and a big reason for that was working with coaches that helped me stay in the sport. i found my fit and now i want to help you find yours by @buildingbia

rising tide meet recap
485 kg, 95.2 gl (467 dots), +10 kg meet PR
had the bench and deadlift day of my life but couldn’t bring it home

squat: 162.5 kg / 358 lbs, 2/3 attempts
bro i hate these so much and i’m going to dr hatfield jail this offseason

bench: 115 kg / 254 lbs, 3/3 attempts, +10 kg meet PR
opened at my meet PR 😋 and matched my touch and go butt lift gym PR 😁

deadlift: 207.5 kg / 457, 2/3 attempts, +2.5 kg meet PR
prob the best deadlift day of my life speed and tech wise. went up 15 kg from 1 to 2 and then 10 kg from 2 to 3. it would’ve been 12.5 kg meet PR and 7.5 kg ATPR, and incidentally pulled me into first (open session). 10 kg is a lot to loose on a total but watching 207.5, i feel like it was there

i have mixed feelings on my performance. this was the best bench and deadlifts felt on the platform, its just not obvious in the total. it feels a lot like failing a week 5 primary after having big backoff gains. i just have to trust its there and will come out at the next one. either way im overjoyed having been apart of this meet and met so many awesome people in the process

big thank you to my coach, boyfriend, and best friend @joeybliftsheavy, and to my family, who i miss dearly. and of course, thank you to @kevinpapa and @110percent who so obviously poured everything into this meet taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @buildingbia

3 years ago i grew the dartmouth powerlifting team from 12 to 60 people. 2 years ago i competed for team canada and won an NAPF title. 1 month ago i didn’t want to compete at rising tide

i had so much proof that i was capable and still didn’t feel strong enough. and i don’t think im alone in those doubts. especially as a woman, doubting comes easy. but sometimes, you just have to step onto the platform and find out what you’re capable of

anyone who knows me knows Im a perfectionist. I wish I could work on this for months and months and months before sharing it with the world. but that’s unfortunately not how this is supposed to work

so v1 is finally here and i hope it makes your powerlifting experience a little bit better by @buildingbia
