All in due time

One of the longest preps I’ve ever had for a meet started right after Nationals this year. I’m super proud of breaking ATPRs on all three lifts and going 9/9. Squats and deadlifts were hit or miss as I got closer to my max during the last few weeks of prep, but on meet day, everything came together perfectly. Going into this meet, I didn’t have to run for a class project and moved up a weight class 🕺, which made a huge difference. As most of you who compete know, we’re always pushing to demand more of ourselves—or maybe that’s just my perfectionist attitude. A lot of progress was made outside of SBD numbers, such as having a healthier relationship with food, a different outlook on training, and improved work-life balance.

I am Blessed 🙏🏻

Coach Alvaro,
Through all the hardships and setbacks, you have always pushed me to keep going even when I didn’t think I could. Thank you for everything!

My family and friends,
There are so many of you to thank. Thank you all for always pushing me in and out of the gym and being a constant motivation! Yall know who you are!

Mom & Dad,
Whether it was swim meets, wrestling, or now powerlifting you have always found the time to support me. Even when in a different state, you drove hours just to see me lift for 9 minutes and that means the world to me.

Andrew & Sharet,
Andrew, you have always been my motivation to excel in sports. Your determination to swimming has paved my determination in powerlifting. I never truly understood it until I found a sport I loved. Thanks for always being my big brother. Sharet, thank you for supporting me and even FaceTiming me between lifts! I love you both!

Florida collegiate state championships 2024!

Blessed to be able to compete with so many amazing athletes. Blessed to have the health and opportunity to do the things I love. Blessed with a wonderful fiancé who loves me and is always there to build me up and blessed with parents who are so supportive and always make time for me. I am so thankful for every opportunity that God puts in front of me to test how far I can push the body he has given me.
Psalms 121:1-2 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.”

9/9, a new squat PR (157.5kg) and a new meet PR (427.5kg).

Thank you @alvarostreet as always for the coaching, handling, and support! You really believed in that squat PR a whole lot more than I did!

Florida collegiate states 2024 recap:

First meet went 8/9

Squat: 227.5kg/501.5
Bench: 137.5kg/303lbs
Deadlift: 232.5kg/512.5lbs

First meet was solid. I hit my goal of a 500lb squat which was a 16.5lb pr. I had another pr on deadlift which was a 11.5lb pr. The only disappointing thing was failing my third bench attempt. Overall i did way better than I thought and I want to thank everyone from FIU powerlifting. Im extremely grateful for all of you everyone did amazing. I’ll be back…

Meet Recap from Collegiate state champs. Had an amazing time competing over the weekend with the @inhandsomebarbell team. Messed up royally with my weight cut and misjudged it. Came in 0.8kg heavy and had to compete as a 100kg lifter. However still was able to put up a total PR and prs on the squat and deadlift.

Squat: 220kg/484lb (+5kg PR)
Bench: 162.5kg/358lb 🥲
Deadlift: 232.5kg/513lb (+7.5kg PR)
Total: 615kg/1356lb (+10kg PR)

I had a lot of hopes going into this meet and while I am disappointed im no where near upset. I still had an amazing team. I have to give a shout out to my coach @alvarostreet for keeping my head on straight and focused on what I could/needed to do. Also to all of my friends who were there supporting me who I’ve tagged in this post. You guys genuinely make powerlifting something that isn’t just a hobby but something that gives me community and more purpose outside of my day to day life. I can’t wait to compete again and put my strength on display in a more complete package. Meets really make me excited to continue progressing. I am still the gym total warrior but hopefully I can change that soon.

Being around so many strong competitors this weekend really helped put into perspective what’s possible if I continue pushing myself harder and harder. I don’t plan on slowing down just because of this little bump in the road. I’m staying 90kg and i will be bringing a leaner, stronger version of myself into this next meet. And I’m excited to see what my friends can bring as well. While this is an individual sport, the feeling of brotherhood and family that it brings is hard to beat. Again thank you all for supporting me along the way. FLORIDA ON TOP!

2024 Florida Collegiate states, the last go around🤯

Squats 3/3: 353lbs/ 160kg (5kg comp pr)
Bench 2/3: 220lbs/ 100kg (2.5kg comp pr)
Deadlift 2/3: 375lbs/ 170kg (grip slipped on second, so we just retook it)
Total: 948lbs/ 430kg (Same as the past two comps😅)

3x 67.5kg champ🥇

It was a great prep, we were locked in and I really loved the process. I was so so excited to compete and I knew I was ready and prepared. A little bittersweet with it being my last cstates after competing the last four years but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Looking back on the progress from these past four years I am reminded that discipline, perseverance and action is what achieves and exceeds your goals.

As always, a huge thank you to @alvarostreet for the constant support and guidance. We keep pushing and we keep growing.

To the @fiupowerlifting team, my friends and family, love you guys and you guys always make meets more than just a competition.

Let’s keep this momentum rolling🚂💙🤩🐾
