🇳🇴 Equipped Bench Worlds Drammen, Norway 2025 - 5th/10th in the world ain’t too bad 😳. This was the last song in my head phones before I pulled them out and just tried my best to stay present and enjoy the few minutes of the world stage.

Running off of an immodium from @the_kbcg and half a banana that remained in my stomach LMAO.

1 - missed start command I’ll share on my story 😂
2 - typical up and down
3 - success, 110 kg / 242 lbs

Thanks again @rshady__ and @smartlifts for handling me and keeping me from exploding 😅.

Thanks @whitelightsmedia.intl for the amazing memories. taken in Drammen, Norway by @kraken_.pl

Rest of September, worked away most the month except like a weekend and a few odd days. Busy is an understatement 😂, still in burn out land so hoping to crawl out of that over the coming months. One more week out here this month, home a bit then trip to Mexico. First trip without a competition involved since 2019 😂 by @kraken_.pl

Rest of August, worked it all so didn’t do much. Worked office on my “week off”, not ideal but this paves the path to our goals 🫡. September will look the same, might be working the whole month 😂 taken in Mars by @kraken_.pl

August so far, feels like a blur but we have some goals this year 🫡. 14 or more hour days, somewhat kept up with running until my days turned to 16 here and there then I have to eat/meal prep/laundry/manage projects, and go to bed to be up at 4:30. Certainly glad I stepped down from powerlifting I burnt myself out pushing through all the time it was so stupid and not enjoyable at all any more.

Right now I’m just enjoying my work and saving as much money as possible for a home down payment 🙏 taken in Mars by @kraken_.pl

July so far. Work has been busy, working in the pass sporadically. Mountain work has been quite something. We’re either heli access, quad or side by side. These don’t even capture what I’ve seen so far. Job is pretty cool I guess. Squatting yesterday was rough 😂. Tomorrow I’m not sure how I’ll get out of my tent haha. Forgot spicy cream and Advil. Today was dropped off at top of mountain and walk down with everyone’s water, food, emergency and spray supplies 😩 by @kraken_.pl

6/12 June.
Busiest month yet and about to get worse. Been managing projects and people, pretty chaotic is one word to put it. Working outside of work hours and weekends since I have people working all the time so I’m basically always working 😂.
Qualified for nationals and no bomb out at provincials. Biggest highlight of June aside from paying down like 36k in debt/loans since January. Trying to get ahead so we can finally save for a home down payment. Good feeling to know I own my truck now and not the bank 😛.
July about to be worse than June so I guess we’ll see what happens. Leaving next Monday or Sunday, back 17th, leave the next day, back who knows when. Head down and digging deep for some goals we have by @kraken_.pl

Thank you @smartlifts for taking care of me yesterday. Got a total in and QT for Nats 2027.

Squats honestly went better than I thought, suit is pretty broken in so the knee wraps saved me. Bench was a dump fire which is fair as after squats I was roasted. Very proud of deadlifts as I’ve never used a suit on the platform yet! HUGE WIN.

Squat 177.5 (+5 kg PR)
Bench 110 (-5 kg)
Deadlift (+175 kg) lol. Maybe we compare to grit power.. did 170 so (+5 kg).
182.5 was slipping in my fingers and I lost it, watching the video wow I was closer than I thought.

Thanks @livingt0n for helping me out in the basement with my wraps, spots, and making sure I don’t quit. Externals this month completely not optimal but it is what it is.

Thanks @smszuch for helping my squats and pointers throughout my prep. Same as @littlesavage39 , always got my back. Onto the next 🫡

Thanks @michelle.moooen for keeping me in monster mode and making weight easily. Doesn’t look like it but I was over 84 kg for the most part of post Nats

Thank you all the volunteers and refs @apuprovincials2026 by @kraken_.pl

5/12 May. Been keeping my head down and crushing some huge finance goals since January. Busy field season about to kick off once this rain relaxes. I don’t think I have many big trips planned until October - Belize NAPFs. On the fence to do commonwealths in Winnepeg 🤔 by @kraken_.pl

Last heavy week push into Provs. Next week I’m in the middle of nowhere so it’s nice to hit a week week in ideal training circumstances 🙏😍

4/12 - April. Trying to limit my time on socials. Feels like a brain suck for me. May is about to be somewhat busy, then June I’m gone for the whole month other than I think 4-5 days 😂, I will be working north of Coleman. So anyone in that area have somewhere to train let me know. I think there is a rec Center. Field shenanigans about to get real again, I’m not mad cause my truck is paid off soon. It will be nice to know I own it not the bank. Anyhow, training about to get real interesting, nothing new tho haha. I’ll train at home for now and remember how nice it is lol. by @kraken_.pl

Thank you @a7canada for the 🇨🇦 package, love the wrist wraps and socks. The singlet will come out in Belize for NAPFs 😍.

PR Touch and press today with 120kg. The sets shown were everything done today in order. Maybe the 110 jump to 125 was not optimal lmao. I knew what to fix after 125 was a nope. Each session is a little mystery 😂
But
Thanks @mimibikini , @jace_bellingham, @hugoandcheeto for everything today 🙏. @smartlifts week 3 was good!
