Worlds was an absolute blast!

It was awesome to see everyone again and witness the amazing talent on this team. I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to lift alongside some of the best in the sport.

There are so many people to thank who supported me leading up to and during the competition. A special shoutout to my coach, @garrett_bentley_, the man with the plan. Huge thanks to the homies @superkawaiihappyfuntime and @thechuongway for coming through to handle, and to @hippie_hordell, @justgary74, the entire Evolve crew, @strateupfitness, @pttimdynamic, and @dr.forddavidson for keeping me in shape. Your support means the world to me by @rshady__

Bench Worlds 2025 - 83 athletes coached, one unforgettable week.

Can’t even put into words how proud I am of this team. Every lifter brought heart, resilience, and that relentless energy to the platform. I got to witness not just big benches, but big moments - PRs, comebacks, first-time world appearances, and pure grit.

@phil.electrique @benjamin.losier @shaunaisindepth @cognac04 - thank you. You kept things moving, calmed nerves, loaded bars, ran numbers, organized and helped make sure every athlete had what they needed when it mattered most.

This wasn’t just about coaching - it was about trust, teamwork, and showing up for each other over and over again.

Appreciate you all for letting me be a part of something this special. We move forward stronger - together.

🏆 North Rise took home Best Club at Provincials — and it wouldn’t have been possible without every athlete, handler, coach, and supporter who showed up and gave it their all.

Huge thank you to the meet directors, volunteers, and officials who made the event run smoothly.

Shoutout to the whole team.
We’re proud

Happy with how everything went and had a blast. Besides my tricep cramping and my feet slipping on bench, everything was great. Definitly had some room in the tank on squats and bench.
Can't wait to compete again at 93 and see more competition.
Thank you @rshady__ for coaching me. Have had such a good time learning and getting better under you, cant wait to hit some nasty numbers together and get better and stronger. Thanks @wendigo.kg for the handling, calls couldn't have been better and I felt very comfortable and absolutly hyped having you in my corner. Thank you @elliotknippel for being my number 1 supporter and cheerleader, I love you so much. by @rshady__
