Going into this meet I honestly was super nervous because I thought I would bomb out on squats but hey we got an ATPR 🙌🏻. Third bench I rushed it so bad, should’ve been an easy lift for me.

Thank you to @yan.ironmecca for being the best coach and handler I could’ve asked for. Bro was there for the hype and laughs exactly when I needed it throughout prep and this meet. Cant wait to continue growing with this guy.

Thank you to everyone at that meet especially everyone from @umlpowerlifting for making it such a fun and hyped meet. So glad I chose CCup as my first meet because it was straight fun and hype the whole time. Could not have asked for a better first meet experience

For everyone that’s been supporting me throughout this journey I am sincerely grateful and I hope I made y’all proud. Lastly thank you everyone for supporting me at the meet because y’all really pushed me to lock in for each and every single lift. @ronilightweights for the videos and cheering 🫶🏻

Happy but not satisfied is how I’d describe this meet 🤝🏻. Sorry for the yap session

IN CONTROL.

ATPR Deadlift 1x1 (540)

I think that was the most hyped i’ve ever been after a lift. The energy from everyone at spindell was insane today. THANK YOU @umlpowerlifting AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR THE HYPE.

1 week out.

I am so overstimulated right now I can’t process anything.

1x1 (391) ATPR
1x2 (275) Doubles ATPR
1x1 (550) ATPR FAIL

This block has genuinely been the greatest block i’ve ever had in my past 2 years powerlifting. The amount of mental blocks I was able to break in this month has been unbelievable. I have never felt so happy and disciplined with my lifts EVER.

I haven’t been able to go above 275 for bench in close to a year and a half now so hitting it for 2 is so crazy to me that I still haven’t even processed it. IVE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN IT.

Squats was huge mental break for me too but I won’t yap again about it. Deadlift was almost there but we’ll be back soon once the calluses heals and improve on lockout ☝🏻. @theestallion i might twerk better than you js

I have more to yap about but maybe in another post, thank you to everyone for the support especially @yan.ironmecca and let’s keep on working 🤞🏻. by @liftchuup

ITS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME.

1x1 (530) Deadlift
1x2 (265) Bench PR on doubles

Have only went out to drink once these past 2 weeks and I have to say i’ve never felt better. Mindset feels better, happiness is at an all time high, I just feel like i’m on top of the world right now.

Thank you @yan.ironmecca for always holding me accountable to push myself though. Without him I would’ve just stopped at the 520 I hit right before.

Me and @quadspapi had ourselves a day today and I honestly don’t think I could’ve hit either of these lifts without him. (Goated camera man too) Always love you @traintrue.official I CANT FAIL HERE THE VIBE IS JUST DIFFERENT.

Never felt better and I will ride this high for as long as I can 🍾 by @liftchuup

GYM IS GOOD. FOOD IS GOOD. LIFE IS GOOD.

1x2 (513) Deadlift Double PR
1x2 (259) Bench Double PR

Korea just keeps getting better and better man, I don’t know what else to say. Bench should’ve been a triple and I was fighting but yeah that shit wasn’t gonna go up 🤣.

First few weeks here I was doubting whether or not I could balance gym and life here in korea so I think my lifts took a toll. Yet here I am hitting 2 PRs, all I had to do was lock in.

Also big thanks to everyone at @traintrue.official nicest group of people ever that are also STRONG ASF.

If you’re still reading this have a great day my man, life is beautiful so enjoy it by @liftchuup

Long time no see 😁

1x1 (375) Comp Squat
1x1 (440) Comp Deadlift

Working out in korea has been so fun and even though the first few workouts were a struggle I think we’re finally settling in. New environment here is going to take some time to adjust to but everyone at this gym is super nice and I can’t wait to break some crazy PRs here.

I’m going to try to be active on this account again so STAY TUNED 🤝🏻 by @liftchuup

WE ARE SOOOOO BACKKKK.

After 8 months I was finally able to go 500+ on deadlift. It’s been a long and challenging journey but i’ve tried my best to enjoy every moment. Shoutout to @yan.ironmecca for pushing me like always, be calling me out when i’m tryna sandbag 🙏🏻‼️. Lockout and lift overall gotta be cleaned up but I was so hyped getting it up that I blanked out LOL.

I’ve been battling some back and adductor injuries over the past 2 months so I haven’t been able to push heavy as I wanted. Mentally it was tough to get back into it but this past week has really FELT AMAZING.

First time in a while that I haven’t been wanting to come to the gym everyday. Feel like this block is the opposite of last block, squats feel good but everything else feels ASS!

1x1 (360) Comp Squat RPE 7
1x2 (440) Paused Deadlift
1x1 (265) Comp Bench

Not a lot to say, I’m too content right now, time to lock in.
