📍Malaga, Spain 🇪🇸 70kg / 154lb two pause snatch!!! (97%) Best part about training on vacation is meeting the local weightlifters. Thank you @clubhalterofilialosprados for the fun training environment and welcoming hospitality (plus the bonus beers after training in 30°C at 8pm 🥵🥵🥵). Cant wait to come back and explore more of beautiful Spain ৻ꪆᢉ𐭩

Hand forged jewellery is special in a way that allows your story to exist not only in the final design, but in the making itself. My client Andy is a designer himself, he understood that making something by hand gives it a different kind of meaning. So instead of only choosing the stone and approving the final design, he became part of the process through bending the gold band. That moment became part of their ring. The centre stone is a padparadscha sapphire with tapered side diamonds, and two hidden details in the back: a cognac diamond to represent their chocolate lab Diesel, and barbell engravings to honour how they met through training together. Her ring carries his sketches, his hands, their dog, their love for training, and the memory of how everything started. Congratulations Andy and Jem! ❤️ 18k yellow gold band, 19k white gold claws #vancouver #ring #customjewelry #couplegoals #handmade

Side quested so hard it became part of the main story line May was insanely busy! Nationals… wedding… tutoring and teaching assistant; mixed in some hobbies here and there like pokemon go and… um advertising? I was asked a question by a NEW student: “how do you do everything?” And all I had was “I like biting off more than I can chew, then I’ll figure it out after” and that’s pretty much my life. I’ve learned from the first competition I ever had to fly out for that I wanted to travel; to be in the air, to do incredible things and to explore places unknown to me. I don’t want a boring life, so God gave me this one, and I am so very very thankful for everything that comes with it. Maybe June will slow down? Maybe I see no black spots in my calendar but I couldn’t ask for a better experience, maybe just more money 😝 it’s okay one day, cuz we finished day 1… Oh yea; I broke a record 😝but I already held the record so PR 😁 See you sometime in the summer Cousins

Nationals ‘26: 9th/16th placing in Canada! (PR Nationals placing) Mixed feelings about going 3/6 and not no PR total after a season of hard work. Then I remembered that when I was in grade 9, I sat on the bench on the basketball team all season, sad that I wasn’t good enough to play. Grade 9 Pat would be pretty proud of getting top 10 in the country. The good 1kg PR competition snatch at Nationals! The best clean and jerk opener I’ve ever done in 7 years. Not to mention I did this after waiting 15-20 minutes from my last warmup at 137kg! The bad: Le Cramp: My whole lower body cramped during and after my 2nd clean and jerk, leading to me having to pull out of the competition for the first time ever :( Grateful for no injuries, but leaves me wondering if I was capable of a fun CJ attempt. I didn’t take enough videos and pictures of the fun experience. I had so much fun watching the competition in Montreal. It was so fun to see the venue packed to cheer on all the Team Quebec athletes, and I hope weightlifting in BC can carry some of that excitement in the future. A highlight of the trip was getting to share the whole experience with coach Andy (who went through a lot to be able to handle at Nationals), and the roommates Jem, Peter, and J for an incredible weekend. Result: 120 124x 126(PR). 143, 149(CRAMP), Declined 3rd attempt.

I don’t even have photos with everyone I had the chance to work with during these 3 emotional and unforgettable days at Nationals ❤️ I’m truly grateful and proud to have been part of the BC coaching team this weekend. So many emotions, stressful moments, happy moments, lessons, victories, and heartbreaks — this is sport, and this is why we love it. I’m proud of every single one of my athletes. Proud of the successful lifts, and just as proud of the missed ones. There was stress during weigh-ins, difficult moments after going 0/3, nerves, pressure… but the most important thing is that you earned your place at the Canadian Championships and stepped onto that platform. That alone is already a huge achievement. This year the Canadian Championships also included athletes from 5 different countries, which made the experience even more valuable and exciting. For many of you, this is only the beginning, and I’m very happy you got to feel this level of competition and atmosphere. Now we go back to work. More technique, more confidence, more consistency — so next time the jury has no chance to question your lifts 💪 Take a small rest, recover, and then we keep moving forward. I already want to see an even bigger team next year ❤️ Thank you everyone for the trust, support, and memories. Technique. Strength. Progress💪

Here's a handful of pieces that caught my eye at the @vancouvertimepieceshow. (Or perhaps, the ones where they photos turned out 😉). The New Old Stock OW was a special treat. As cool as the watches were, it was the events surrounding the show and the friends I met and made that formed the highlight of the weekend for me. Looking forward to next year already! #watchcollecting #ricohgriii #watchesofinstagram #vancouvertimepieceshow #watchnerd
