Deadlift: 177.5kg / 391lbs (+5kg) 🥉
Total: 427.5kg / 943lbs (+10kg) 🥉

7/9 lifts — 20/27 white lights 🫶

We did what we came here for, and I couldn’t be prouder!! ❤️

I came into Commonwealths with 3 goals: win Bench-Only, win Best Junior Lifter in Bench-Only, and podium in 3-Lift. I came here hoping at least 2 of those 3 goals would come true, and somehow I’m leaving having accomplished all three. My heart is so so full. 🫶

It wasn’t quite the total I was hoping for, but I’m proud of how I handled the day and controlled what I could. It was an incredibly fast-paced session, which put a lot of pressure on my lungs, especially coming into 3-Lift already feeling not so good. I also had to adapt to new technical bench calls, but I came back out, fixed it, and hit the weight again.

More than anything, I’m proud of what it took to get to this platform.

This prep was far from easy. Between a lower back injury, constant chronic illness flares, emergency dental surgery, and everything else my body threw at me, this prep looked completely different from what I had planned. Some weeks were about pushing, while others were about doing what my body allowed and finding a way forward.

Squats took the biggest hit from my back injury, so still matching my best platform squat at 155kg means so much more because of what it took to get back there.

This prep wasn’t perfect, and neither was the meet. But I kept showing up, adapted when I needed to, controlled what I could, and walked away with my first international 3-Lift podium.

Thank you so much to my incredible friends and family for all the support throughout this prep and on meet day. Every message, check-in, and person cheering me on means more than you know. None of it ever goes unnoticed, and you all mean the world to me. 🫶

And finally, I still can’t believe I can say, that I’ve finally redeemed myself from Nationals. This one really meant a lot.

I’ve got 3 more years in the Juniors, and I can’t wait to see what I can do. 🇨🇦❤️

The only word I have is wow.

My first international win and my first international Best Lifter award, all on my planned opening attempt for 3-Lift. 🥹

Standing on top of that podium meant more to me than I can put into words. It’s been over two years since I’ve been able to stand on an international podium, and now I’ve finally done it again—a weight class and an age class above. I’m shocked, I’m grateful, and I’m so so happy.

What made it even more special was doing it surrounded by so many people I love. My grandparents got to watch me compete internationally for the first time, alongside my parents and all of Riley’s incredible friends and family. Having that many people there cheering me on meant the absolute world to me. ❤️

And to know I had so much more left in the tank and still walked away with the win and Best Lifter makes me incredibly proud of how far I’ve come.

Thank you so much to every single person who supported me, whether you were there in person, watching the livestream, or cheering me on from afar. I felt all of it. ❤️

Chronic illness and injury have made this prep unpredictable in just about every way possible, but I can finally say: I did it.

And if there’s one thing I want you to take from my experience, it’s that one day, you can too.

Keep your head up high, my loves. You are worth it. You are deserving. And you are worth celebrating.

Keep being you. Keep showing up. Not only for your friends and family, but for that version of yourself stuck in a hospital bed wondering if you’ll ever get your chance.

One day, you will.

Keep fighting. ❤️

Now it’s time to dial back in.

See you all Saturday, where I’ll leave absolutely everything I have on that platform. 🇨🇦❤️

A big big thank you to Susan and Brock for hosting an amazing meet 🫶

Rough week, but hey, we are hitting the heaviest Week 1 ever! Chronic illness has definitely been kicking my butt this week, but regardless, I’m still putting up a pretty cool total. All I can say is screw chronic illness. 29 Days til showtime… let’s get it.

In love with deadlift now 🤭. Super super excited to get back to this once I recover from surgery. Thank you so much for all the lovely messages wishing me well. Surgery went incredibly well, so I am hopeful it won’t affect my peak for Commonwealths at all! Can’t wait to be back to heavy lifting in two weeks 🫶🫶

Big thank you to @jtnichol.lifts and @emxxlifts for being at the gym with me through these last hectic 3 days before surgery. And for taking care of me before and after surgery!! You two are the bestttt ❤️

@raphaelpthibeault 🐇 Bunny hops for the win 😎

This block was going so well, but it’s getting cut short after just two weeks thanks to emergency oral surgery being scheduled with only 3 days’ notice. 😭

I’m squeezing in everything I can on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday before taking some time off to recover! Pretty cool that I was able to hit my primary squat two days earlier than planned and without my usual 48-hour squat primer. I’m honestly pretty impressed with myself!!

I’ll see you guys tomorrow for one last fun bench and deadlift session before it’s time to rest and recover. ❤️

Then it’s full steam ahead for Commonwealths… only 8 weeks to go!! See you all in Winnipeg soon enough!! 🇨🇦

Three minutes before this set, I found out I officially made the Commonwealth Team for 3-Lift!!
