One year ago, Bruce walked through our doors, and not long after, decided he wanted to have a crack at powerlifting. Fast forward to Sunday, and he stepped onto the platform for his very first competition! 🔥

Safe to say, he’s caught the powerlifting bug, and we couldn’t be happier. We’re already looking forward to seeing what he does at his next one!

Despite the nerves leading into comp day, Bruce did what Bruce does best; kept his composure, trusted his training, and got the job done.

And what a day he had! 👏

🏋️ Squat: 180kg
💪 Bench: 95kg
🚀 Deadlift: 185kg (15kg more than he’s ever lifted and moving like butter!)

Three huge lifts, three massive milestones, and an incredible first competition under his belt.

Bruce, congratulations on an amazing day! It’s been awesome watching your journey over the past year, and we can’t wait to see where this powerlifting journey takes you next.

The first one is in the books. Now we’re just getting started. 🔥

Oh and that last pic! 😂

A 180kg squat, 95kg bench and 185kg deadlift with a 15kg deadlift PB is a great way to open a first powerlifting comp. Congrats to Bruce, and lifters planning the next meet can keep it all in one place at quietunity.app
