I don’t even know how to recap this because this was the most emotional win of my life.
Everything I’ve worked for over the years finally paid off, and I genuinely don’t think anyone deserved this more than me. I had something to prove, and I got my get-back against the former reigning 2x World Champion.
The second the win became official, I couldn’t help but start bawling like a baby for 15 minutes on the ground. It genuinely didn’t feel real. Anyone who truly knows me knows how much I wanted this and how long I’ve been chasing it.
Getting to do it while representing the United States makes it even more special. I couldn’t be prouder to wear the red, white, and blue and bring home gold with Team USA. 🇺🇸🦅

The travel was a complete wreck, including a full-day layover in London that had me getting to my hotel at 5am the day before I lifted. My bodyweight was also dropping like crazy, and there was plenty of added stress, but I stayed true to myself and knew I could still get the job done.

Special thank you to
@lillolifts and
@lewis.lifts07 . I seriously couldn’t have gotten here without you guys, especially with all the trips every other weekend to train and improve my equipped lifts.
And thank you to my coach
@1repmethods for making the switch to equipped lifting with me and helping me deliver his first equipped World Champion.
Lastly, thank you to everyone who has supported me and sent me love over the years.
Everything has led up to this. 🇺🇸🦅🥇
