Put this off for the longest time because this being my last meet recap with NUPL does not feel real

@nupowerlifting thank you for being my home for the past four years, it feels like I just got here tbh. It was an honor to serve as your president, my heart is so full after this experience. I had an incredible time with all of you and I will miss this so much. To both of my racks (rip tall rack) this year, you’re all so incredibly intelligent and strong it’s genuinely my motivation every week coming into practice

My goat @cameron110kg thanks for the bruises and the RPE 10 wraps dude YOU lowke squatted the 232.5 ALSO shout tf out to you not questioning my “lip gloss, wrap left leg, wrap right leg, repeat” routine, just overall insane diligence in your handling all throughout the day + Bench Pro @shupp.lifts stepped in during benches with the immaculate Jack and vibes thank u both teehee

@katiel_ifts we’ve been together in the warmup room for Day 4 Session 1 CNATS every. single. year. in some capacity and to have you in my corner even post grad was such relief. Love u roomie #notbeatingtheallegations

@mandaslifts I had some insane shoes to fill when you graduated but I also got lucky with you coming back to coach us. I appreciate all of your guidance and your presence will be missed dearly

@lozo.lifts words cannot describe how patient and supportive this man is. Thank you for being so steady when I crashed out during prep (I’m lowke really mean when I’m in gear oops) I love you.

Last but not least @katedriscoll.dpt holy shit we made it. I cannot thank you enough for all the guidance you’ve given me these past four years, I would not be anywhere near this level without your coaching.

Prezi out🫡

The collegiate scene has always been the most thrilling subset of powerlifting. With the sport already being so intrinsically focused, team practices and pride foster a sense of camaraderie that typical team postings simply can’t replicate.

Joy Li speaks on her introduction into the sport and her rise to national champion and president of the Northeastern University powerlifting team.

Probably my favorite raw meet to date

B: 100kg (+2.5kg mpr)
D: 172.5kg (fumble tsk tsk)
BW: 85.69
🥇Jr. Division
5th Open

One hell of a meet ran by @jandaurio and @aopowerlifting

Shoutout the goat @katiel_ifts for having the literal plague and still handling me. Everything from warmup timing to attempt calls was perfect🫶

My lifts felt pretty stagnant all throughout prep, numbers were increasing but they were all numbers I’ve hit before. My goal for this meet was to come back stronger than last year in this weight class after cutting down to 82s and @katedriscoll.dpt helped me do just that. There is no one else I trust more with my training. Thank you so so much.

Shoutout @nupowerlifting and @ritbarbellclub for all the support, I’ll be back in Albany to spload next time I promise by @joyli.fts

This year at the 2027 USAPL OASIS CLASSIC (MA-2027-05) we are doing something different… some may even call it… something BIGGER.

In addition to weight class awards, we will be awarding CASH PRIZES to the TOP 3 BIGGEST totals (M/F) regardless of weight class.

Maybe size does matter.. but only time will tell. taken in Oasis Gym - Boston by @joyli.fts

Regardless of how off I felt on meet day, I honestly think this was my favorite meet to date. I gave it my all and did not miss on technique, which is all that really matters. Thank you as always @nupowerlifting for all the support no matter the outcome.

Thank you @lobotemilie for runnin it back the third year in a row. There’s no one that I trust more to handle on meet day and I’ll miss you so much🫶

Nothing is ever possible without @katedriscoll.dpt
She is the backbone of NUPL and everything she does is fueled by her passion for this sport and for our team. We are so so lucky to have someone like her in USAPL❤️

NOLA I got one more in me…
