I’ve spent the last 8 years of my life hitting the gym 3-4 times a week, to try to bring up these three numbers. 

The gym almost feels like a religion, an iron temple. I’m blessed to have made lots of friends, gained a lot of fond memories and learned so much! 

But I’m afraid this chapter has to take a back seat now. 

I haven’t been lifting heavy for about a month, been working on other aspects of life. I’ve also signed up for Hyrox w @_hohomustache LOL (kena the Singaporean adult hobby curse).

And I’m afraid to admit it, but the past month felt liberating. To spend time with loved ones. To not have to lug around a huge training bag. To reshuffle priorities and not think about training, nutrition, rest and to be more present with my family.

Powerlifting as a competitive sport will be on hiatus. But I’ll continue to lift heavy because it’s fun.

Shoutout to @jonus.ong for working with me to finish third overall best male GLP this meet. Unfortunately we had a back tweak about two weeks out. Had difficulty walking but his masterful rehab fixed me up pretty well. We were making good progress before that but alas, it is what it is. We only get more resilient the more we mature in this sport.

Shoutout to the folks at @powerliftingsingapore for this meet and for @reformd_training for the prize money hehe.

And to my lovely wife for being supportive of this strength journey, for holding the fort while I’m out training and for bringing our daughter to see her daddy lift ❤️

To another year of strength!
