Off-season Files: Chapter 5

Bit of a weird week. Little up and down with my mental, deadlifts weren’t great this week. Hoping to just settle back in and start making some progress again. Plus side is I found a way to make hook grip less disgusting!

Off-season Files: Chapter 4

195kg squat triple, 115kg bench quad, 185kg deadlift triple. Nice little reload week after being sick and then out of the country.

Chicago turned me into a thique boy, time to lock in and shed some insulation. Movements are getting back to normal, bench has been a wonderful constant and I’m glad it didn’t go anywhere.

Had an amazing time competing, meeting new friends and spending a little time side-questing in Winnipeg!

90kg/198.4lbs ✅ (crazy to be opening with my 3rd from worlds 😆)

95kg/209.4lbs ✅ (a little more grindy than expected 😬)

97.5kg/215lbs 🙅‍♀️ (foot started sliding did not happen 😕)

🥈really really wanted to touch above 95 this meet, but still very proud of what we were able to do in ~3 months post worlds.

@srwbandit as always thank you so so much for working around everything going on and for being in the backroom with me meet day 🫶🫶

Shourout to all of the amazing team Canada coaches as well, y’all were awesome 🙌

I may have had my worst comp yet, but I had the best time with some pretty amazing people.

Thank you @welsh_powerlifting for the experience, and thank you @louie.powerlifts for handling me on the day.

I shall return stronger next time — hopefully still a U69 but we shall see. 😂

Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships 2026 Recap 🇨🇦

70/154.3 ⚪️⚪️⚪️
75/165.3 🔴🔴🔴 (jumped press command)
75/165.3 ⚪️⚪️⚪️ (+5kg comp pr)

2/3 (4th)
@ 61.59/135.8
63.40 glp

it was an honour to represent my country for my first international powerlifting meet. i was so happy that prep this block finally moved very well. warmups were moving perfectly so we lasted second changed my opener to +5kg more than we planned (also yay red on platform). execution on platform was not my best as i have never jumped a command before but i’m happy that my thirds moved really well! unfortunately didn’t take 77.5kg for nats open qt, we will try it next time. although i was fighting for third, couldn’t get there, that means i’ll fight harder next time.

powerlifting has been such a huge part of my life and i’m so grateful for the community and people that come with it. moving my way up, step after step to get to where i am has been a great journey, seeing as my first ever meet was january 2025.

thank you to @canadapowerlifting @2026commonwealthpowerlifting for hosting, Tristan & @vipulsharma_wnbfpro for the coaching & nutrition, and @johnnyngu_pl and the team canada coaches for ensuring a smooth meet day (shoutout @_ykahlon03 for being my week 4’s buddy). thank you to those who tuned into the livestream to follow along, those who i met from other parts of canada and other countries, as well as those who have been following my journey since the beginning:)

i will continue to rise… so see you at the top:)
