First Collegiate Nationals in the books. Ended up not doing as good as I wanted going 5/9 with a 687.5kg (1516lbs) total but still had a great time. Competing on a stage like CNATS was an experience unlike any other meet and I’m excited to come in next year much stronger. Big thanks to @coach_braden.pl for coaching me this whole prep and coming all the way down to New Orleans to handle me. Also a huge thanks to @uark.powerlifting for all the support.

Arkansas State Championships completed. Went 8/9 with a 632.5 kg total (1394lbs) in the 90kg weight class. Fell just short of qualifying for nationals but grip gave out on the last deadlift. Next year we’ll blow the qualifying total out of the water

Squat: 490, 507, 518(video)
Very happy with myself being able to hit a 6 pound PR. Squat has been rocky considering i had to get knee surgery for a torn meniscus back in April and battling constant injuries. If I stay healthy it should blow up.

Bench: 303,320,325 (video)
Bench moved good probably should’ve gone for 330 but oh well.

Deadlift: 530,551 (video),568 fail (video)
Deadlifts blew up this prep and I think I should be in the 600s in no time. The first video is 551 which moved pretty easy and I thought I set myself up perfectly to qualify. If I would’ve hit my last deadlift I would’ve been right at a 640 kg total which would’ve qualified me for Collegiate nationals. Had no issue with the strength but after I got it all the way my grip gave out causing me to miss the lift. Sucks to fail like that but I’ll come back a lot stronger.

Shout out to @uark.powerlifting and everyone who competed. Cant wait for the next one. by @samstaley13
