POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The banner has arrived!

For those who do not know, our men's raw varsity team won 1st place at the @powerlifting_america high school national meet this year in Omaha. Our guys worked extremely hard to get to where we are today and I could not be more proud of how every single one of them competed this past season.

I want to give a huge shout out to the sponsors who participated in our national team shirt sponsorship this season. Their support helped offset the many costs that come with traveling across a few states to compete at the national level. Thank you to @oak_medical, Top Tier Wealth Management, @moxie_beauty_lounge and @elementmortgage for their support this year!

I am very excited for next season and will smile every time I see this banner hanging in our field house.

AP tests touched me in my special place this week, cortisol was MAXED. Missed my step goal of 8k on 2 days this week but i genuinely had bigger fish to fry. These singles aren’t really shit this block was just to ramp training back to full volume without frying myself. Really happy with my runs this week and excited to push harder next block

When Bobby Salb (@coach_salb) took over as the head coach of the weight room at Waukesha South, a couple of students asked him if he was going to keep the school’s powerlifting team going. His response, "We had a powerlifting team?" That was in 2023, and just three years later, Salb led South’s powerlifting team to a high school national title as the Men’s Raw varsity team took first place at the Powerlifting America National Champions this past weekend in Omaha, Neb.

LTS Collegiate + High School Nationals Recap:
We had 7 individual lifters compete, in which 5 of the 7 went on to win National titles 🥇. We had the privilege of handling 5 non LTS lifters in which 3 of the 5 were able to take home 2nd place 🥈! Lots of PRs, lots of head to head matchups, and lots of fun!

Outside of that, alongside of the fun time, there were lots of memories made over the course of the week. Thank you to each and every lifter that trusted us with your success on the day!

WE DID IT BABY! Honestly after snapping my fibula back in December I didn’t think i’d get to compete today, i’m so grateful i’m healthy and able to compete in the sport i love. I’d like to thank @aspirestrengthsystems and @troyboylifts for the amazing coaching and meet day handling, you’re my goat 🫶. Omaha was an amazing experience and i’m so happy with how this meet went. Squat and Bench peaked beautifully and were executed just as I wanted it. I knew deadlift was gonna be wonky, I tore my thumb calluses 4-5 times over the last few months and I messed up the peak with some overshoots, so matching my meet PR is perfectly fine with me. Super happy to end my high school career on a high note, this trip and the experiences I made with my friends were irreplaceable and I can’t wait to run it back next year at C-nats. The cherry on top was somehow PR’ing my total after only ~90 days of training after literally learning to walk again. Shout out my mom for taking me, the drive was awful 🫩 I also got drug tested RIGHT after winning, real fun to get drug tested for the first time lol. I’ll be posting a photo dump from the trip on my main when i get around to it and a gallery when my media package comes in, can’t wait to see the pics after seeing myself on @powerlifting_america story.

Total: 8/9
617.5kg / 1361lb (+12.5kg meet PR)

Going into this meet I wasn’t expecting much with it being so close to state and going up a weight class I wasn’t filling out. I’m very happy that I managed to pr my total with everything going on with squat and absolutely smoke that bench pr. Big thank you for everybody who helped me out meet day and cheered for me. @lemieuxtrainingsystems coached me going into the meet and helped me out a lot by running to buy bigger knee sleeves from the A7 booth so I could hit my 3rd. @coach_salb handled me as well and was a huge help. @troyboylifts also handled me for deadlifts and helped put me in the best possible position for 3rd place. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t podium but there wasn’t much I could do after squats and the insane 3rd pull from @strawhatchuy
It was a good fight and I look forward to taking the time in the gym to build.
