2025 USAPL NATIONALS RECAP🏋🏾‍♀️🇺🇸
(JR 70 kg class)

As the year comes to a close, I figured it’s time to finally post my meet recap (yes ik I’m 6 months late, life gets busy😭)

Truthfully, I was working against many factors during this comp. I had a strain in my lower back, barely slept the night before due to travel, messed up my squat, and pulled my hamstring during bench so I didn’t do my other attempts for that.

However, I still gave it my all and knew I didn’t spend months of training and hard work just to give up.

Overall, I’m super proud of myself for even making it to the nationals stage considering I just started powerlifting around this time last year and had 2 meets under my belt!

On top of that, I was still finishing my senior semester at NYU, juggling apartment moving, grad events, and city life in general is a full time job in and of itself but I still powered through. Really wanted top 5 but I know that’s an achievable goal and not too far out of reach!

May step back out there for 2026 nats but for now I’m just enjoying my gym journey one day at a time :)
Thanks to all my cheerleaders as well, you guys keep me motivated each and every day! And thanks to my coach as well @barbearicstrength for his dedication and support!

Squat: 330.7 lbs
Bench: 165.3 lbs
Deadlift: 396.8 lbs
Total: 893 lbs
8th overall 🎖️

USAPL MD State Championship Recap!

First state-level meet in the books, and I couldn’t be more proud of the hard work and dedication that led me here. Things didn’t go exactly as planned toward the end, but I’m beyond grateful to walk away with FIRST place in my weight class, a state title, and nationals qualification!

Squat:
145kg / 319lbs ⚪️🔴⚪️ (knee sleeve issue?)
150kg / 330lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
155kg / 341lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️STATE RECORD🏆

Bench:
67.5kg / 148lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
72.5kg / 159lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
80kg / 176lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️ (+11 PR)

Deadlift:
172.5kg / 385lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
187.5kg / 412lbs 🔴🔴🔴
Second attempt didn’t get logged properly, so we went for a big jump… wasn’t there this time due to fatigue, but I’m coming back for it soon!

None of this would be possible without my incredible coach @barbearicstrength , and my family and friends who show up for me every step of the way.
Grateful to God for the strength—physically and mentally—to pursue this sport I love.
And to all the strong women out there, we are just getting started!

This is only the beginning. Bigger numbers loading… Nationals, I’m coming for you this summer! LET’S WORK!

Overall this was such a great learning experience and this entire journey has showed me what true discipline and hard work looks like!

It’s not always easy training as a full time student with many extracurriculars, studying, and other obligations to attend to but when you want something badly you’re gonna make it happen! Lots of times I didn’t feel like training but I still showed up cause that’s the only way to get better.

For a moment I was so pissed off at myself after messing up my second deadlift attempt cause it’s always been my easiest lift. Instead of focusing on the negative, I decided to bump up the weight as originally intended. I had faith in myself and I know what I’m capable of, and as y’all can see the results speak for themselves!!

Never expected to get drug tested on my very first comp too 😂 but one thing about me is imma put my all into everything I do!

Thank you to all who continue to support me and are always in my corner, yk who you are🤞🏾

All glory to God for giving me the strength and ability to achieve this accomplishment! Now we continue to build until it’s time for my next meet so stay tuned for what’s to come next 🤩🤩

I only show my fitness side on here but there’s so many mods layers I wanna start showcasing.

Post grad has made me realize how important it is to put yourself out there and try new things so that’s exactly what I’m doing. Whether it’s traveling, food exploration, music/entertainment, social events, I’ll be there!

February dumpppp! 💕

This month was truly full of so much love and I enjoyed every second of it!

The morning routine has made such a difference in my training and is making me more disciplined with my time.

Meal prepping has been on point and I did a pretty good job balancing how often I eat out.

My body feels so different now that I’m training for a half marathon and I’m truly addicted to this hybrid split. I feel more awake and have more energy at work, I just wish it was warm so I can run outside 💔

March is already booked and busy and ya girl has a trip coming up so we’re staying locked in for that 🤭

Catch yall in the next update MWAH

JAN DUMP❄️

A bit overdue but the last month has probably been the most locked in I’ve been for a while now

-Successfully completed dry January
(tbh it was harder than I thought just due to social events/ nyc life/ corporate HH, but I truly felt more energized and gonna try to limit my alc consumption to once a week)

-Consistent meal prepping
Found a routine that works for me and it truly made such a difference given my work hours and limited time to always cook

- Wellness
Finding things that make me feel better when life feels HECTIC (skincare, Pilates, reading on the treadmill, haircare) gotta find balance

-Sleep and recovery
This is the area I need to improve in the most… Feb has been off to a rough start in this category but I’m really trying to get in bed earlier, less phone time and not eat dinner so late 😭

-Content
Once again slacking in this area too, but I have lots of ideas and need to stop making excuses and just lock in lmao

Anyway thanks if you made it to the end of this! Overall start of 2026 has been very strong and can’t wait to see my growth 💪🏾

Been such a long time since I dropped a workout but I told myself I need to start posting more in 2026. Filmed some clips over the holidays so here I am!

Working a desk job has definitely made me prioritize movement much more and my gym time is very intentional as there’s only so many hours in a day.

These are my go to staples when I wanna be in and out, and I focus on intensity > volume

NOTE: single arm rows were not shown but I usually do those too‼️
Enjoy and save for later

Long overdue June dump!

I’ve really been slacking with posting my prep for nationals but here’s some of the highlights over the last few weeks.

Slide 5: 310 lbs squat
Slide 6: 331 lbs squat (was so hot in the gym, fatigued/hungry, and on my 🩸so I’ll take it)
Slide 9: 170 lbs bench (did 165 right before this and just decide why not)

I’m honestly so exited to hit the platform soon and although my back has been somewhat bothering me, I’m hoping that all my hard work shines through!

Got lots of other stuff planned for the rest of summer before I start full time work but stay tuned for nationals first
