Went back to the Burgh last weekend for a wedding and got to hang out with some Teppers and gorge on Pamela's hotcakes.

Yinz, it was a good weekend! 🖤💛 taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by @itschuckiet

2026 @usaplcalifornia Heavy Metal Open 🤘 Meet at @maxsgym_oakland Recap (videos in reverse order):

TLDR: 7 ⚪️'s, a nice baby 2.5 kg PR on deadlift, and grew my best total by 7.5 kg! Pretty happy about that.

Was also gunning for PRs on Squat and Bench but felt short on technical execution on the 3rd squat attempt and didn't have a bench PR in me that day.

1️⃣ Squats

The first two moved really well but it looks like I got out of position coming out of the hole on the 3rd. Sucks, I think it was pretty doable.

197.5 kg / 435.4 lbs ⚪️
207.5 kg / 457.5 lbs ⚪️
217.5 kg /479.5 lbs 🔴

2️⃣ Bench

Bad news, a PR was not meant to be on this day. Good news, I seemed to have gotten over most of my shoulder and tricep issues plaguing my bench for the past 2 years, nearly matching my best bench by 2.5 kg.

115 kg / 253.5 lbs ⚪️ (Missing video)
122.5 kg / 270.1 lbs ⚪️
127.5 kg / 281.1 lbs 🔴

3️⃣ Deadlift (Conventional)

It's always fun to try to go full send at the end for deadlift. As it should be. 3rd attempt was great. Upon reflection, even though it was a slow pull, it looked much better than my last PR back in March.

232.5 kg / 512.6 lbs ⚪️
242.5 kg / 534.6 lbs ⚪️
252.5 kg / 556.7 lbs ⚪️

Thanks to @maxsgym_oakland for hosting a great and well managed meet. I had a ton of fun and enjoyed the positive vibes all around.

Appreciate the support and meet calls as always @mattdomney_pt. Eager to raise the bar for the next one. taken in Max's Gym by @itschuckiet

2026 @usaplcalifornia Make Your Own Luck Open IV 🍀 Meet Recap (videos in reverse order):

This one was special. First time ever going 9/9 with 2 PRs and probably my best overall meet performance to date.

Even though I only matched my best total, the execution, attempt selection, and two PRs made this one feel like a huge step forward.

1️⃣ Squats

Small PR but a big confidence boost. These moved well and I was happy to start the day strong.

195 kg / 429.9 lbs ✅
207.5 kg / 457.5 lbs ✅
215 kg / 474 lbs ✅ (2.5 kg PR)

2️⃣ Bench

We played this one smart. I’ve been dealing with some tricep and elbow issues, so the goal was simple: secure the lifts and live to fight another day.

The conservative approach was absolutely the right move and let me stay fresh for deadlifts.

100 kg / 220.5 lbs ✅
105 kg / 231.5 lbs ✅
110 kg / 242.5 lbs ✅️

3️⃣ Deadlift (Conventional)

This was the highlight of the day. Massive PR and a big milestone for my conventional pull.

227.5 kg / 501.6 lbs ✅
237.5 kg / 523.6 lbs ✅
250 kg / 551.2 lbs ✅ (17.5 kg PR)

Also a 5 kg PR over my previous best sumo pull (which makes me wonder what i could potentially pull on sumo 😜), making this one even sweeter.

Going 9/9, hitting two PRs, and finishing with that pull was an incredible feeling.

Shoutout to @iron_warehouse for hosting and @bratpackproductions for putting on a great meet. Awesome environment and energy all day.

Huge thank you to @mattdomney_pt for the coaching and spot-on attempt calls all day. The strategy was perfect. 🤌

Time to recover for a week… then back to work. taken in Iron Warehouse by @itschuckiet

Operation: Australia Vacation = GREAT SUCCESS 🇦🇺🫡

A few takeaways / highlights:

• Sydney NYE fireworks? Absolutely disrespectful to every other city. 🎆
• Hot Take 1: Australia wins gold medal 🥇 for cutest animals. Sorry other countries.
• Hot Take 2: Everyone in Australia is weirdly more jacked and fit, on average, than the States 💪
• Related Hot Take: Aussie cities have the highest density of gyms per sq mile vs. other cities. No data. Pure conviction. 🏋‍♂️
• Australian celebrity encounter: Randomly met Robert Irwin the night after watching his world-class croc show 🐊✨
Talented. Friendly. National treasure energy.

OC's Finest Dec 2024 Meet Recap (videos in reverse order): A novel experience to travel for a comp but the meet didn't go well for me. I went 6 for 9 with no PRs.

Meet prep was rough while managing nagging issues. Because of this, @mattdomney_pt and I aligned on conservative openers. This worked for squats and deadlifts but bench went horribly.

1. Squats: In hindsight these looked easy. I definitely left some gas in the tank on these.

185 kg / 407.8 lbs ✅️
192.5 kg / 424.4 bs ✅️
200 kg / 440.9 lbs ✅️

2. Bench: This went terribly. First time totally bombing out. Despite the conservative attempt, I literally didn't have it in me. Will need to evaluate the tapering strategy the next go around.

105 kg / 231.5 lbs ❌️
105 kg / 231.5 lbs ❌️
Third attempt 🚫

3. Deadlift (Conventional): Despite the terrible showing on bench, deadlifts went well, with the 3rd attempt looking like maybe an RPE 9 and change.

202.5 kg / 446.4 lbs ✅️
215 kg / 474 lbs ✅️
227.5 kg / 501.5 lbs ✅️

All that said, the energy at @exceedperformanceco was 🔥. @henrylaflame has a great gym and meet production from @manamethods was 🤌. Shoutout to @nikyshoots and @sergio.c_ for capturing these great videos for me!

I'm ready for a redemption arc @mattdomney_pt, lol! Let's get after it for the next one.
