SFU Lifting Club Classic 🍁

Almost two years ago we started the SFU Lifting Club with goals to lower the barrier to entry to powerlifting and eventually run a sanctioned meet. Was a full circle moment seeing this come to life and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to compete in it after graduating and handing over the club to Liam.

Goal for this meet was to have fun with it being my last competition as a junior and maybe as a 93 LOL (woke up at 94.9 two hours before weighing in). Short turnaround time from Centrals but managed to chip the bench PR before missing my final pull for a shot at best overall lifter.

Squat - 3/3 - 262.5kg/579lbs (match)
Bench - 3/3 - 145kg/320lbs (+2.5kg meet PR)
Deadlift - 2/3 - 252.5kg/557lbs (-5kg)

Total: 660kg/1455lbs (-2.5) @ 92.74kg BW
🥇 93kg Junior, GLP: 86.46 (-0.3)

Thank you @rolandpwr for all of your support and guidance over the last 3+ years in this sport.

Thank you @sfuliftingclub @liamlemery.31 for running a fantastic first meet and for everything that you guys do for the community at SFU. I’m incredibly proud of all of you as I continue to watch the club grow.

Thank you to the community @strengthlabyvr for continuously supporting me and for pushing me to become the best version of myself that I can be.

Need to beat the junior burnout allegations. Into the opens.

SFU Meet Recap 💪

Another meet in the books. Grateful for the opportunity to step on the platform, compete, and see the hard work come together.

Huge thank you to my friends and family who came out to support me and everyone who has been in my corner throughout this prep. Having you there means more than you know.

A special thank you to @jackliu213 for handling me for the day and keeping me focused, helping everything run smoothly, and making sure I was ready for each lift. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Big shoutout to all the volunteers, spotters, loaders, referees, and everyone behind the scenes who made the meet possible. These events don’t happen without you.

And a huge thank you to @strengthlabyvr for being such an amazing community. It’s more than just a place to train, it’s a place filled with people who support each other, push each other to be better, and celebrate each other’s successes. Grateful to be part of it.

Proud of the work put in, grateful for the people around me, and already looking forward to the next one.

701.1lbs / 318kg to chip the @bcpowerliftingassociation
83kg open Deadlift record. Side quest done ✅️

Dealt with nerve pain for the better part of the last month, so I adjusted expectations coming in today with an open mind. Stoked with how things played out 😅

First time lifting at @sfuliftingclub and it was probably the most fun I've had at a meet. Always a blast lifting with the homies. Thanks to my circle of people who propped me up today and along the way, y'all know who you are 🤝

Special shouty to @mrangalex who I will trust my game day with forever, @tim_monigatti for making me decent, @strengthlabyvr for unrivaled training facilities and @mj.physio at @casciolisc for patching me up 👩‍🦽

a full cup will spill without a steady hand

an empty cup won’t spill, but the more you pour into it, the more susceptible it becomes to spilling

the more that you have, the more careful you must be

everybody wants a full cup, but nobody talks about the steadiness required to keep it full

abundance requires control

when you have everything you want, you can’t move like you’re carrying nothing

a cup doesn’t have to be broken to spill. it can spill because the person holding it forgets that it’s full

so don’t just celebrate that your cup is full or else you’ll lose what’s already in your hands

steady your hand
