| Raw Nationals Recap 🍕🌪️

5th place 70kg Open 🏅

S: 3/3 • 190kg/418lbs (+7.5kg ATPR)
B: 2/3 • 90kg/198lbs (+5kg meet PR) (failed 3rd on tech🫩)
D: 3/3 • 197.5kg/435lbs (+7.5kg ATPR)

Total: 477.5kg (+20kg)
487.2 DOTS (+21.1)

First and foremost, I’d like to thank my GOATED coach @drivilla.pl for bringing the absolute VILLAIN out of me. This prep pushed me to limits I’ve never reached before. I literally PR’d every lift on every variation every single block. First prep of many was an absolute W and this is only the beginning.

Special shoutout to @ricanataliee for planning this whole trip and making sure things ran smoothly for the whole team🤍

Thank you @allcalf.gocon for handling and rescuing my nutrition this prep. You somehow made me go from 73kgs down to 68kgs in no time.

Thank you @dieselgymnj @resurgence.barbell & @surgetonewlevels for giving me the adequate equipment and space to get stronger and avoid life 3hrs every session lol.

Gracias a mi familia y amigos por siempre ver los en vivos de mis competencias desde mi tierrita bella. Los amo demasiado🥺❤️🇭🇳

Forever grateful to have an amazing support system and team always in my corner. The support never goes unnoticed.

If you don’t wanna hear me yap, you’re free to leave now.

HOLY. CRAP. I really am a Northeast Regionals Champion😭
Still in disbelief. This was the most perfect meet I could’ve asked for. I finally hit all the numbers I’ve dreamed of since starting powerlifting 🥹

My heart is so full.

After my bittersweet win last April, I made a promised to myself that if I ever stepped on platform again, I’d give it everything I had.

This prep was personal. My performance at cnats lit a fire in me, not being able to show what I was truly capable of hurt more than expected. But that pain pushed me to try harder.

This time around I knew things needed to be different so I would not burn out (again🫠). I could not keep chasing numbers at the cost of my joy. I had to find a better way.
And I did! I found the balance between pushing hard and still loving every part of the process. Between the hunger to win and the joy of lifting.

I had a goal in mind, but I didn’t let it consume me.

On meet day, I was LOCKED IN! Tunnel vision all day. I knew I had to perform. I knew I could pull whatever they loaded on the bar. Missing wasn’t an option. I needed to show how hard I worked… and just win.

Coach @kjm.lift , there’s not much I haven’t already said to you by now, but I want to say it again: I am beyond grateful for everything you’ve done for me. I am here, standing where I am, because of you. You took me in when I was just a lost young girl lifting till failure 7 times a week at RWJ. You saw something in me, and you’ve guided me ever since. You taught me everything I know. And for that I’ll be forever grateful. Thank you for being part of this journey 👨🏾‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬

@aromik_ I don’t even have the words to express the love and gratitude i have for you. You have always shown up for me, through every high and low, cheering me up all the way to the finish line, even when I wanted to quit. Thank you for being there through it all.

This prep has definitely been one of the toughest I’ve ever faced, both mentally and physically. It was not for the faint of heart. Fasting for an entire month, lifting heavy, cutting weight, working, and balancing grad school all at once was an immense challenge.

The water/weight cut definitely took its toll on my squat 😞. No PRs this time, but my heart is content I finally got to pull 400lb deadlift on platform.

Gracias a mi familia amada por el apoyo incondicional ❤️.

To Drift mami @aromik_ , I can’t even put into words how grateful I am to have you in my corner. From coming to Diesel for SBDs to flying all the way to OKC just to watch me compete, you never fail to show up. I love you so much and I hope I can always be there for you too💜.

Thank you to my Egyptian mami @sara.ayoubx for being so supportive and genuine from day one. I can’t wait to get stronger together🫶🏼.

A huge thank you to Coach @kjm.lift for putting up with me, especially when I start getting in my head and sabotaging my lifts🫠. On a real note, thank you for believing in me, for pushing me to be a better athlete, and for always bringing out the BIG DAWG in me.

Thank you @drivilla.pl for handling me, for the boogeyman music recommendations, and for helping me stay calm on meet day. Your advice and support mean the world to me🫂.

Thank you @rutgerspowerlifting & @coach_justins for the unwavering support and for allowing me to compete alongside such incredible teammates. The friendships and memories we’ve made are priceless.

Biggest thank you to @dieselgymnj for giving me a home, a family, and a safe space where I’ve been able to heal and get stronger. I truly wouldn’t have achieved any of this without this amazing community and its endless support 🥹. I love you guys ❤️.

Thank you to my friends, @a7intl , and the awesome spotters and loaders. So beyond grateful for all the support I’ve received throughout this journey.

Stay locked in! We got work to do. taken in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by @ferlifts
