All I wanted when I started this sport almost two years ago was the chance to put on this singlet and represent Canada.

Still pretty surreal that I got to do exactly that.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey, my family, my friends, especially the ones at Evolve (South, North, and Downtown), my coach @littlemanbiglifts , and of course my rock, @amrielifts . I definitely wouldn’t be here without you all.

Not going to sulk or get too much into it in this post, but it was far from the day I was hoping for, but sometimes that’s just how the sport goes. by @kelzc7

Nats Recap 🇨🇦💥
4th Place

BW: 58.8kg
Total: 532.5kg (+27.5kg)
9/9 (27 white lights) ⚪️⚪️⚪️ (my first ever)

Squat: 192.5kg / 424.3lbs PR (+10kg)
Bench: 122.5kg / 270.0lbs PR (+7.5kg)
Deadlift: 217.5kg / 479.5lbs PR (+10kg)

Easily the most relaxed and fun I’ve had on the platform so far! PRs across the board (every second attempt was already a pr) and battling it out in a tight middle pack made this one special (59s are on the come up fr). Super grateful to compete at such an unreal event and connect with so many familiar and new faces.

Big thank you to my coach @littlemanbiglifts for everything he does for me. Competing in the same flight and being there BTS of him punching his ticket to worlds was amazing to see. A another big thank you to @byrinw for the perfect handling (and for putting up with my bs) unfortunately for them, I’ve slowly morphed into an annoying high-maintenance athlete 😂 Couldn’t have done it without you guys! Shoutout to everyone on the @wendigo.barbell team and friends at Evolve South for their support all throughout prep and comp day.

And last but certainly not least @amrielifts thank you for everything 🫶🏽 taken in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador by @kelzc7

Westerns ~ Nanaimo 2025

59kg Debut

70kg → 58.6kg

Squat: 167.5✅ / 175✅ / 182.5 ✅ (+5kg comp PR)
Bench: 110 ✅ / 115 ❌ / 115 ✅ (match)
Deadlift: 197.5 ✅ / 207.5 ✅(+5kg comp PR)/ 220 ❌
Total: 505kg🥉 (+20kg comp PR + NATs QT)
GL: 83.86

Felt strong on the day despite gut and water cutting and sitting in the hot tub to get the last kilo off. Time to build for nats and work on my grip strength so I can pull my third deadlift🥲

Cannot thank @littlemanbiglifts enough. Everything from the cut, prep, refeed, numbers we put on the bar and so much more! I couldn’t ask for a better coach and friend!

@aisha.marieee the real hero in during this cut. Putting up with my mood swings from being hungry, holding me accountable with meal prep and cardio, eating the same boring food with me and even volunteering at Westerns so I could have a familiar face with me on the platform. No one I’d rather do it with🤝🏼❤️ by @kelzc7

💥 GRIT Spring Open 2025 💥 
BW: 64.91kg Total: 485kg 🥇 (+30kg Comp PR)

Squats:
✅ 170 kg ✅ 177.5 kg (+7.5kg Comp PR) ❌ 182.5 kg (Womp Womp)

Bench:
✅ 105 kg ✅ 110 kg ✅ 112.5 kg (+7.5kg Comp PR)

Deadlifts:
❌ 195 kg (Up and down after lockout) ❌ 195 kg (Up and down after lockout) ✅ 195 kg (+15kg Comp PR)

Meet Recap:
This meet was going to be practice leading into Provincials and Westerns and it turned into the MOST STRESSFUL practice ever. My goal was to improve my prep and cutting leading up to the competition. We did just that—prep was amazing, and the cut and refuel went a lot better. (NO CRAMPS!!!!)

However, this meet turned into a much bigger lesson: “ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT A MEET.”
My first two deadlifts flew off the ground and into lockout, but my body decided to bobble after lockout, causing an up-and-down motion. (This was a weight I was confident with and had hit for reps before.)

It all came down to my third deadlift—either hit it or bomb out. Thank GOD I hit it. P.S. Definitely would have cried if I didn’t. 😭😭

Huge shoutout to @clifton_pho for getting me to this point in powerlifting. I’m now repping numbers I used to only dream of hitting. It was super fun having you ref this comp too!

Shoutout to @coolest59kg and @littlemanbiglifts for handling me and keeping me from freaking out after missing two deadlifts!

@kyuso_ commentary absolutely killed me😂💀

💥Powersurge XIV💥 ~ First ever powerlifting meet

BW: 64.2kg
Total: 455kg 🥇

Squats: 160 kg ✅, 170 kg ✅, 180 kg 🚫 (Womp Womp)
Bench: 100 kg ✅, 105 kg ✅, 110 kg 🚫 (Womp Womp)
Deadlifts: 170 kg ✅, 180 kg ✅, 195 kg 🚫 (Up and Down… why did my body do that????)

Qualify for Provincials ✅
Qualify for Westerns ✅

Even though I only hit numbers I comfortably hit in training, the goals for this meet were to hit both provs and westerns qualifying totals and we did it! Just means bigger meet PRs for the next meet recap😮‍💨

Here come the typical powerlifter excuses!
Water cut going into this meet (for no reason….. just fear of weighing in over 🤦‍♂️) and came in 4 pounds lighter than the day before😑 it left me cramping DURING AND after every lift🥲 lots learned for the next one!

Huge shoutout to my coach, @clifton_pho . The past 3-4 blocks have not gone as planned… back injuries, half marathon, soccer tournaments and tattoo breaks.
With little to no heads up from me, Clifton has constantly adjusted and programed around those extracurriculars!

Shoutout to @ngowaybruce for handling me!!!! Kept me calm, handled all the warmup times and gave me a carefree meet! Even helped massage out my cramps!!!!

Lastly, thanks to @uofapowerlifting for putting on such a great and memorable meet. And all the spotters for saving me!!! Maybe I’ll actually hit a third attempt next meet💀. Thanks @nyshemedia for the sick photos and video!!!

Time to build…. 😈 by @kelzc7
