2026 IPF Jr Worlds Recap

Looooong overdue, but here it is.

Squat: 220kg (-5kg PR)
Bench: 130kg (-5kg PR)
Deadlift: 280kg (+5kg PR)

Total: 630kg (match Total PR)

My second worst meet performance and probably my worst prep going into a competition. That being said, once I got to the venue and had a chance to take it all in, that was quickly forgotten.

I found powerlifting through Russ on YouTube prepping for Worlds. And I remember thinking, man it would be cool to be on that stage one day. To fulfil that dream was beyond words, I kept pinching myself to make sure it was real just because how surreal this comp felt.

It truly takes a village, my heart goes out to everyone who helped me get this far, I couldn't have gotten here without your help and support. From @thestraylightrunner , @franche.17 and @laurenjlifts helping me and making me feel comfortable at my first comp, to Ms Heather Leighton coordinating with the Nigerian Federation to get me nominated to compete, @theofficialblueshirtguy handling me and getting me to the competition and everyone who checked in on my mental throughout prep. My journey in the sport has been filled with godsends. To my brother in iron, Tim, your mental coaching is beyond valuable and a big part of how I got through this prep at all. And my coach and brother @davidthomas.vids, thank you for your patience and guidance throughout this turbulent prep and getting me comp ready in one piece.

Worlds was an amazing experience, met so many people and witnessed so many incredible moments. Hopefully the first of many to come, God willing.

KEEP GOING.

Fantastic day yesterday, and super happy with what we put together after pretty much 7 weeks out with the hand injury not able to train properly. Finally bagged the 200kg squat, a 25kg comp PB and +12.5kg on bench with my first ever successful 3rd attempt, with some left in the tank.
Only shame was deadlifts having hit more just last week but a matched comp PB at least for a +40kg comp PB total.

Big thanks to @wrpf_uk for running a genuinely phenomenonal meet, great comp day experience all round.
@zerow_wales for being a sick space and a great community as always.
@tension.release_ for doing a grand job first time handling
@josie_.j and @georgiet92 for the support and absolutely smashing comp day while handling eachother so I could lock in lol
And the big man himself @davidthomas.vids for cooking up the best prep and peak I've run despite only jumping back in post injury a few weeks away from peaking

This meet was a stars aligning moment. Prep was a mixed bag, some lifts exploded while others regressed. I knew I wouldn't be the strongest on the day but I just had to execute to the best of my ability and see where things land. And we managed to get the win.

To my brothers in Strength, @siya_tyeku, @szee.fulop, and others, it was a privilege to share the platform and to push each other both on the day and during prep.

Much thanks to my coach, David Thomas (@davidthomas.vids , who I started working with just over a year ago. He's the mad scientist behind the progress you see. My brother and training partner, Timothy, who was there on the day to support me despite not being a powerlifter. My sincere thanks also go to @dmitemeg and @coach_chants from @barbell1610 who offered to handle me for deadlifts, allowing me to focus on being a lifter. Amazing people like them are what make this sport great and a family.

Finally Josh, @shots.by_josh for capturing every moment, thank you for your work brother.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way, family, friends and even strangers cheering for me on the day. This win is for you! I live and breathe this sport, and I hope to share many more moments like this with you all!
