I'm at a loss on this one. This was the best training block I've had and there was no possibility in my mind that I wasn't hitting this and more. Maybe I looked too far past it. Lots of what ifs going through my head right now, but you win some and you lose some. We'll sulk a little tonight, regroup and come back stronger. 565 I'll see you soon. by @mattmakinggainz

I don't think I've ever been this locked in for a deadlift session. 545lbs had me overthinking things in my head all week. Proud to say it moved like I've been putting in the work week after week.

Could 600 be on the table for next week 🫣🫣

Putting this here so @thejohnding can critique my form. Hopefully it stayed tighter than the last time 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Random PR of the day - 365lbs for 3. I really need to get my squats closer to my deadlift numbers. My technique is inconsistent though, I gotta pick one and stick with it. Making progress!

This 455lb PR from last year popped up in my memories today and 455lbs just happened to be in my program for today. Consistency and hard work pays off. @terencebosmanstrongman will get you right

I've failed 565lbs 3 times. I refuse to fail it again. Until then the only goal is to disrespect every weight on the bar in front of me. Today's victim was 495lbs. Let's get it! taken in Kinitro Fitness by @mattmakinggainz

2.5 weeks ago 540 was a grind and I knew 565 wasn't in me. Today my body felt good and 545 moved like butter and I just knew 565 was going to fall. Then it didn't. I probably could've grinded out the first attempt, but didn't trust my back. The second attempt my body was already fried. Disappointed in the end results, but we'll come back stronger. In 8 weeks me and 565 have some unfinished business to settle. taken in Kinitro Fitness by @mattmakinggainz

6 weeks of execution. The data doesn't lie. 📉

Dialed in the training, locked down the daily nutrition, and put the work in. Walked away with an intentional recomposition.

The Results:
Total Weight: -19.4 lbs (244.4 ➡️ 225.0)
Body Fat: -4.4% (21.2% ➡️ 16.8%)

My new power-to-weight ratio is exactly where it needs to be. Now it's time to carry this momentum straight to strongman and get that 600 lb deadlift. Onto the next one. 💪🏾🔥

Huge thank you to @em_powerbuilds for this challenge. It was much needed.

Matt. Kyron. Bri. Courtney.
The times never mattered.
We wanted to send it.
Try our best.
Show up for each other.
But most importantly have fun.

Matt. You’ve always been a leader. Thanks for the lift-off setting the tone for greatness.

Kyron, thanks for showing up. *inside joke* But, for real, thanks for training so hard these past few months and jumping into our relay team last minute. You killed it!

Bri. You’re a queen. I’m so proud of you for stepping into the arena and OWNING IT!! You’re a HYROX athlete!

Me. I’d like to thank me for styling the team and making our outfits. If I’m gonna sweat, I have to be cute.

Special shoutout to all our family and friends who came out. We love y’all sooooo much!

Until next time…and there will be a next time. Cheers, team!!!

Looking back and seeing the progress just makes me want to grind harder to get to that 600lbs!

The road to 600lbs continues.

45lbs...265lbs...355lbs...445lbs...520lbs...550lbs(PR)

Not exactly where I wanted to end up today, but still excited about the progress.
Gotta lock in my nutrition and hydration and keep hitting the accessories.
No doubt that @terencebosmanstrongman will have me there before the end of 2026.
