2026 USAPL Arnold Masters Challenge

Was gifted the opportunity to coach on one of the biggest stages in our sport today. Was mine and John’s first meet together and we had a 7/9 day and walked away with a PR bench and total and had a BLAST doing it!! Got the ATPR deadlift to lockout and grip gave out 😩😩😩 going to smoke it plus some next time!!

Just getting started in this together and today we learned SO MUCH about how we want to move into Nationals. Incredibly amped up to keep this thing going.

THANK YOU, JOHN!!

@gabk.pl went and had herself a DAY going 8/9 hitting PR’s on all 3 lifts and adding 7.5 to the total!! We had a fucking BLAST and can’t wait to do it again. 303 where it counts 👀 WHO WE PLAYIN RAMMER?!

@tylifts.lbs stepped into new territories as a competitor this weekend. 8/9 day with a ATPR squat, an ELECTRIC PR deadlift, +7.5 added to the total while becoming the STATE CHAMP and finishing SECOND overall in the meet with a 465 DOTS!!

@jjrodg is another STATE CHAMP that had herself an absolute day! 8/9 day with a huge PR bench, PR deadlift, and 7.5 added to the total while finishing THIRD overall in the meet with a 462 DOTS. Another electric display of strength and I can’t wait to keep this thing going.

@george.emsies1 THE KIDDD is another one who broke boundaries this weekend. 8/9 with 2 PR squats, a PR deadlift, and +12.5 on the total while just missing the podium in a stacked 90 juniors weight class. Bro hit his first 501# squat on the platform as a second - massive milestone!!

@lev.hayman wtf bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lev BROKE OUT!! FIRST 9/9 meet. PR squat, PR bench, while taking his first 501# deadlift where it counts for a MASSIVE ATPR while adding 42.5 keys to the total ‼️ LARGE.

@rhodes_to_fit had himself ANOTHER 9/9 meet!! ATPR squat, PR bench, ATPR deadlift with +15 on the total!! Huge milestone taking his first 400# squat on the states platform with this 185/407 third. Can’t wait to keep watching Ken continue to break his own boundaries - YOU’RE A BIG GUY, KEN!!

The JMK/HVPL squad went 49/54 all weekend with a 91% hit rate and 92.5 keys added to established totals. Beyond PROUD AND HONORED by the way you all showed up for yourselves this weekend. Thank YOU for the good time!! Thank you @doug_hvpl and @tylifts.lbs for being the goated handlers every single time we go out there as a team - I could NEVER pull this shit off without you at my side.

I’m tired ✌️

Some big lifting from the last month or so:

@brawnoverbrian taking a 262/578 ATPR squat at Ultra with more in the tank to start a 9/9 day and monster total.

@tylifts.lbs with total ownership of 210/462 on deadlift and a big time expressing that the 4th red is on the horizon 👀

@liftthings_up with a 250/551 ATPR state record squat at Masters Nats. This was a huge goal for John and seeing it come to life was extremely gratifying for us both.

@jjrodg out here taking 172/380 on deadlift - hitting meet numbers and creeping up on the top end with a PAUSE!

@xsonofsaugx out here taking total ownership of 275/606 on squat. Excited to keep watching my boy break into his real potential with the barbell.

@treeotrunks taking his first 272/600 squat and he did it at Raw Nats - insanely huge milestone here!!

@sgrifter at Masters Nats with a 150/330 PR deadlift to lock in a new state record as well as a 9/9 day and the state record total!!

@noeliastephaniee with a 165/363 ATPR deadlift to cap off block 2 on a lift that’s forever left her discouraged. Massive.

Just a glimpse. Excited for what the rest of 2026 has to bring!!

USAPL Masters/Raw Nats 26’ - Lombard, IL

@sgrifter started the week off with her first 9/9 meet!! PR’s across the board while also clipping the M1B NYS record squat, deadlift, and total for the 70’s!! Making it here was a huge goal for Sandy and executing it in this fashion was a really cool thing!!

@dutcher.joseph had an 8/9 day and expressed that he’s stronger than he’s ever been. Only miss was a squat opener on technicalities, forced us to play it conservative as we knocked on the door of Joe’s best lifetime lifting with SO much room as we approach the M2’s!! Looking forward to his future IDFPA invite for real.

@liftthings_up had an 8/9 day and clipped a HUGE ATPR squat that also set a new M1A NYS record for the 100’s - very exciting stuff. John had a badly broken foot and we couldn’t really squat or deadlift for the better end of 8 weeks after the Arnold. Only had 6 weeks to put this one together… with more time to prep and get this deadlift grip stuff right the next one is going to be WILD!!

@treeotrunks capped off the week with an 8/9 day at his first Nats. Bro hit his first 272/600 squat on one of the biggest stages in our sport and went on to hit 2 bench PR’s that gave us enough to still PR the total with a missed 3rd dead. Was a great experience and we had such a blast on the day. Back to the lab we go.

Make attempts. Build your total.

29/32 on the week.
x4 NYS Records.
Good times had.
Eternally blessed.

Until Albany 🫡

Ultra Nats 2026 | Anaheim, CA

Squad had an absolute time!! @im_a_barbell_girl started things off on Thursday with an 8/9 day. We hit a PR squat, an ATPR bench with one of the most wild grinds I’ve EVER seen, and an ATPR deadlift that I went to the score table and changed without her knowing to give us a 22.5 key PR total!! We had such a blast in the process of it all too. Kalee excels in the moment and I’m BEYOND excited for her future in this sport!!

@brawnoverbrian hit the platform yesterday and BALLED OUT!! 9/9 day with ATPR’s across the BOARD, a 25 key PR total on the day, and a 2nd place medal in Masters 40-44!! Brian is an OG. One of the first people that ever gave me a shot at this in 2023 and he we are on our 4th year of this nonsense with so much left to accomplish. Eternally grateful for you, brother.

Raw Nats in 2 weeks and then I swear I’m not leaving my house for the rest of 2026 🤣

Home bound ✌️

The Ladies of Iron powerlifting meet did NOT disappoint! These ladies brought the energy, the grit, and the PRs. Nothing inspires us more than watching our community push limits and lift each other up. Absolute powerhouse energy all day long.
So incredibly proud of the ABC ladies who showed up, lifted heavy, and proved just how powerful they are! Congratulations to all on their amazing performances 💪🧡

USAPL NY Ladies of Iron 2026

Today was a blast, the meet went so well and I’m so blessed. Everything ran seamlessly and there was nothing but fun had and positive connotation from everyone who came through to lift - thank you all so so much for coming out. Could not have done it without this stellar crew that showed up for me AND our community today. We had a rookie spload crew that held it down and moved with efficiency all morning, a first time chief ref, Sandy got to experience the platform from the other side, it was just such a great time.

Shout out to @white_knux and @abcsportsandfitness for their continuous support and sponsorship of @usaplny and @bentbarpl - Matt is objectively the best gym owner there is, and without the graciousness and support from him and his staff a lot of these meets don’t happen. THANK YOU.

The most special shout out to @jandaurio for being the best mentor I could ever ask for in this, and for letting me use your shit. I would not be doing so many of the things I currently am if it wasn’t for you bringing me up and giving me a shot in 2023 🫶

Shout out Ashley and @fitlikeamother.co for sponsoring the day and adding to the Best Lifter pot - I appreciate you so much!!

Fun perspective piece.. the first time I ever coached my own lifter in Albany was at LOI 24’ - and now two years later I’m running the meet. Thank you to every single person who has ever given me a shot in this crazy little sport, I will continue to work my hardest and not let you down.

See you all @hudsonvalleypowerlifting in 2027?? 👀👀👀

240/529x1

Haven’t had a day off in like 3 weeks - elated to be building some momentum in training. 240 is always a good marker for where I’m at and is the heaviest squat I’ve taken since I competed in November. Still down 15# BW and continuing to move forward in that regard.

I don’t like making reels so here’s another photo from the weekend.

Malcolm had himself a fucking DAY!! 9/9 with a ATPR squat, PR bench, and ATPR deadlift while adding 10 keys to the total!! Came in 1st place in the open 90’s and my man got his first drug test!!

Home bound.
