Now the dust has settled from masters 2026 I thought I would share my lifts from last year as I wasn't on Instagram so they never got posted. This is more for self motivation than anything else, a reminder to myself of what I can do and to set some goals for the next one!
This was my best ever total so why the hell not pop it on the gram?!

Squat - 157.5kg ✅ 165kg ❌ didn't sink deep enough, that was dumb and it still annoys me because it was easily there, and missed out on breaking my current 160kg BR 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bench - 98kg ✅ BR 🎉 didn't move great but I got it! Not much else to say about it.

Deadlift - 177.5kg ✅ moved way easier than expected! Should have loaded 180kg, I only actually needed more than 0.5kg to break the current total record held by @heathertagg ...another thing that still annoys me! 😂 I couldn't wait to compete again this year to try and take it back, but that itch is just going to have to wait a bit longer to be scratched 😣😂

Total 433kg +5.5kg pb

I'm hoping to do an international, unlikely worlds with possibly moving house in Oct so more likely Euros next Feb🤞🏼maybe I'll do a divisional for practice before then?

I have complete trust in @charmacpt so will follow the program like a good girl and see how it goes, already feeling a lot better and can deadlift now without feeling ill afterwards 😂🎉

Well this sucks, I won't be doing masters 💔 I'm missing world bench too because this. I honestly thought I could do it all....nope. Apparently clearing out 20 years worth of crap and clutter, decorating and staging a big old house inside and out in 4 months to put on the market can fuck you up, who knew?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I made myself really ill and my CNS has really struggled to recover. I'm back lifting but very carefully so masters is a no go 😢 I'm so gutted mostly because I won't get to see my wonderful PL chums 😭. Hopefully I'll make it to an international so I'll focus on that instead 🙏🏼... Good luck to everyone at world bench starting tomorrow, I'll be watching on live stream, I'll be there in spirit!

Only got ✌🏼in...too weak to get the 3rd lift past half way 😣
I want to be happy with 🥇 but 95kg wasn't what I had in mind... before my cut I was thinking 100 for my second attempt lol. Lesson learned, don't cut so early and so hard. Just eat the food and lift the weight ... this is what I do best 😂
I didn't just come to crack that evasive 100kg I came to see my amazing powerlifting family who I love so much. This is what makes these events so special. The best support crew and cheer leaders you could wish for.
I gained a few more friends today, well worth the trek to the other side of the country for- @peepsnicol & @alijawadpowerlifter both so inspiring! The adorable @freya.getting.strong and the SO lovely @liz.ado I'm so glad we met!

Credits- @peepsnicol thank you for chancing giving me a lift 4+ hours without knowing how crazy I am 😂 I'm so glad you did! I loved our chats and time together, and happy birthday & 🥇🎉
@cjcalver thank you for taxiing me about with your lovely hubs and congrats on 🥇!
@charmacpt thanks for being you and knowing how to handle a wild Mel 😂 Best. Coach. Everrr
@mallen.66 for allll the support and allll the patience and limitless back scratches 😘😂

Top set went WAYYYY better than expected during my cut+ lowest bw in a while 74.3kg. My unknown spectator seemed quite captivated, let's just assume he's impressed 😂... what do you think he's thinking? by @mel.doin.tings

These are from a few weeks ago so actually that's a lie 🤣..but the best leading up to comp. The cut over the last couple of weeks lost me a bit of strength though -I'm sitting around 74.7kg now so I will enjoy the re feed next week and hopefully get that strength back for next Sunday! 💪🏼🤞🏼

Dec 1st ~ Dec27th
Pre Christmas fun with our grandson Ari with a visit to the winter wonderland ~ Christmas over 3 days - 3 Christmas dinners with various family members was crazy!!!!...we played our traditional costume game 3 times...we played it differently this year- we set up one person with a full costume whilst everyone else just had something small like a pair of glasses/hat. Lewis was the first victim but he couldn't see through his morph mask so he didn't realise 🤣🤣🤣 we then set up my brother in law the following day as Elf 🤣🤣 ... then day 3 my son in law as the red power ranger again with his teenage ninja turtle sidekick 🤣 by @mel.doin.tings

This has been the best block to date for squat PBS! Bench and deadlift have left the chat 😂
2x160kg stiff sleeves / 3x 140kg 2ct paused soft sleeves

I feel like I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go lol. No full power comp for aaaages, so I'll pop them on here for posterity.
Love this @a7.uk tee, might have to get the singlet! What do you think?

My second "pinch me moment" of 2025 - when @bush appear live right In front of you after loving their music for 30 years! 🤩...and to see them with my son who through me also loves them too, the feeling was indescribable! I think my ADHD jumpy speed claps said it all 😂 ....I'll be posting more footage as a reel asap! 🔥
