I finally did it!! I’ve put together a decent meet haha.

CANPL Stats: Provincial Recap.
Squat: 262.5kg (+7.5kg)
Bench: 167.5kg (+12.5kg)
Deadlift: 255kg (+5kg)
Total: 685kg (+50kg) — 🥉 Open 83kg

Part of competing is putting everything together all on one specific day. I’ve been hit or miss on most of my previous meets and really needed to figure this out. Everything went according to plan and showed up even better than anticipated on the day, other than deadlift (still needs some troubleshooting...).

I was really looking forward to this competition after seeing the list of competitors. It delivered and was extremely fun, but I still got outclassed. The standard of strength keeps rising, I must keep up!!

W4 Primaries - no headphones version

170x3 @ 7.5?
100x1 last warm up
105x1 ATPR
180x3 @ 7.5 if I used baby powder 😐

Matched last blocks squat and deadlift triples and the bench 1RM is up 5 kilos so far. Really happy with this progress. One week to go, let’s hope I don’t get fried during provs weekend.

1 week out from Bench Worlds. Honestly, I don’t know where the weeks have gone. This prep looked a hell of a lot different than last years…in a positive way. My back held up and there was significantly less nerve pain 🥹

The work is done for raw and all that’s left is to show up and see what’s there on the day. One more session left for equipped and I’ll be ✈️ to Poland.

Grateful to everyone @kings.fitness and @calgarybarbell who has been there for this prep.

Let’s fu€king go!! 🔥💪🏻🔥

Cowtown Showdown 2025

318-217.5-290 / 825.5

Missed 307.5 pulling for first. Lost a few kilos on the total but I always play to win.

Feels like we’re just scratching the surface of what we can do in the open. Back to the lab. @adamjansson74
