2 Years Ago I Decided To Postpone My Next Powerlifting Meet for a “few months” until I was done studying for the MCAT,
1 Year Ago Today I weighed 248 pounds
Today.
I weighed in 81.65kg, and for a couple minutes 178 pounds. A weight and a body composition for a long time I thought was unfeasible for me to ever obtain again.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my family. Their endless encouragement, understanding, and patience during countless hours of training meant the world to me. My parents although they never understood what I do they never once dismissed my love for this sport or suggested I leave it behind, despite the attention it took away from my other goals. Your belief in me has been my driving force. To my siblings, cousins and even my lifters (you’re like my kids afterall) you’ve been my constant source of motivation. I love you all.
To my coach
@vincentvictorero you’ve been with me through the highs and lows of this journey since the beginning, your mentorship instrumental in my success. Its always refreshing the switch from Teacher to Pupil I’ll always have around you.
To my friends,
@alistair_humphreys ,
@pinoy.powerlifter , I couldnt have been in better hands, you and those there in my corner or watching from away, you’ve all been with me every step, providing support through the ups and the downs. Your words of encouragement and presence made all the difference. I can’t thank you enough for being there, cheering me on, and celebrating my return to the platform. Anyway, I go resume MCAT studying. Meet Pic dump soon.
