🔥🔥 MEET DAY RECAP 🔥🔥

CANPL Centrals - 15/08/2026

B: 65-70-75x (tie)
BW: 68.4

Time for the long-awaited Centrals recap! Bench-only turned out to be a great opportunity to gain experience with higher-level meets, and I couldn’t possibly have been more proud. Tied my ATPR (that I had just hit for the first time two months prior) and went for a full-send third attempt that didn’t quite make it off the chest. 70 is showing up in Week 4 now, so I think we’ll be seeing great things incoming!

@makeyourmark_fitness always does such a fantastic job putting together efficient, well-organised meets and Centrals was no exception.

Thank you @adamfkatz and @theeatmethod for guiding the prep and handling the approximately 46201847590 crash outs in the process!

Couldn’t contain the emotion tonight! This further cements the current training momentum. A lot of room in the tank with a lot of time to go.

Provs 2026!

Had some amazing moments, and some frustrating moments yesterday. But like always, I feel incredibly lucky to be in this sport, in this community, and be able to push myself and deal with new challenges.

Squat: 162.5✅️ 172.5✅️ 177.5❌️ (depth) (-7.5kg)
Bench: 97.5✅️ 102.5❌️ 102.5✅️ (2.5kg pr!)
Deadlift: 170✅️ 180✅️ 190❌️ couldn't quite lock out the shoulders, but what a fun pull (-7.5kg)

455 total (-10kg) and got third place, sharing the podium with the incredibly strong Keeks and Caroline

Squats had a bit of a hiccup the last few weeks, so I'm excited to get back into training to find momentum (and find more depth lol)

I bench 2 plates now so watch out

Conventional lockouts are my new hurdle, let's see what we can do

Shout out to coach Ian for the slways expert game day handling (also heard a rumour we won best team⚡️) and thank you Jolan for all your help in the warm up room

Adam, I'll meet you back at Iron Valley to get started on Nats prep🩷

Shout out to @adamfkatz for the solid program 💪

Provs Recap:

Squat: 237.5kg ✅ | 250kg ✅ | 260kg ❌
Bench: 145kg ✅ | 152.5kg ❌ | 157.5kg ✅
Deadlift: 242.5 ✅ | 257.5 ✅ | 267.5 ✅

Went into this meet wanting a PR of some sort and a solid baseline to build from for Nats. Managed a 7.5kg PR on my total, but the biggest wins were (a) grinding that deadlift and (b) being pain free for the entire meet.

For the past 2 years, I’ve struggled with my 3rd pulls. Always tired. Not locked in. That turned around at my last meet in April and got even better for this meet. I was focused and I didn’t stop pulling. A year ago, I would have given up on that pull.

And boy oh boy. No shoulder pain or elbow pain on squats?! Going into bench without a single pain or ache? I must be aging backwards. This was unthinkable just 2 months ago. Gonna ride this wave.

Thank you @adamfkatz for keeping me dialed in during a crazy phase of my life with the birth of my second son. @msaparwani, ❤️, thank you for giving me the opportunity to train and compete while we grow our family. I’m lucky to have you in my corner.

Much love to my @afootabovefitness crew. @jtnichol.lifts @grrrayday @_bresky_ @srwbandit @emxxlifts @math_gougeon @madigician.lifts. Ya’ll made sure I was ready.

And to all my opps. It was bad news for you when the spotters saved my life on my 3rd squat. Now you gotta face Ontario’s champ at nats 🤣

To everyone else: #stayHENCH
