722.5kg total @ 84.5kg, 🥇 in the 93kg M1 class and a really awesome time. It was nice to have an entire flight of lifters in the same category!
Thanks for making it extra fun @snooshperformance and pushing me to lift more than I should have lol. I loved the battle.

Thanks to my wife @vicky10100 for all her support and letting me do all these competitions

Thanks to coach @jasontsg for coming to help! This journey wouldn’t have been possible without your guidance. 🙏

Thanks to @drelnajohnson and @optimalclinic for keeping my body working 😅

Thanks to @theeatmethod for her nutrition coaching which kept my performance high and bw low enough to go right into worlds in 3 weeks!

Thanks to @emma_makeyourmark for handling and all the team Canada coaches for helping in the warm up room.

And lastly thanks to everyone who watched and supported me throughout this journey! It means the world to me.

Powerlifting may be an individual sport but it really does take an entire team to do this. And I’m grateful to have the team that I do because this wouldn’t be possible without you all. Haters included.

3 weeks out and last meet of the year. I’ll be ready. 😎

🔥🔥 MEET DAY RECAP 🔥🔥

CANPL Centrals - 15/08/2026

B: 65-70-75x (tie)
BW: 68.4

Time for the long-awaited Centrals recap! Bench-only turned out to be a great opportunity to gain experience with higher-level meets, and I couldn’t possibly have been more proud. Tied my ATPR (that I had just hit for the first time two months prior) and went for a full-send third attempt that didn’t quite make it off the chest. 70 is showing up in Week 4 now, so I think we’ll be seeing great things incoming!

@makeyourmark_fitness always does such a fantastic job putting together efficient, well-organised meets and Centrals was no exception.

Thank you @adamfkatz and @theeatmethod for guiding the prep and handling the approximately 46201847590 crash outs in the process!

Realizing this is the least demanding day of the week felt wild. However I’m having a really hard time focusing during my days and I only realized watching my videos back
Deadlift 105*6*4

I wanted to become the bodybuilder I’ve always dreamed of.

That means more muscle. More strength. A bigger, better-performing body.

And I genuinely want that.

But I’d be lying if I said I love every part of watching my body change.

I’m also not going to pretend that every pound I’ve gained was inevitable or that my coach “made” me gain it.

Some of this is part of building.

Some of it came from choices I made.

And I know I have the power to change the things that aren’t supporting my goals.

The hard part is that knowing you have control over something doesn’t automatically make it easy to control.

I’m still learning how to navigate food in the off-season. How to enjoy it without it controlling my thoughts and emotions. How to take ownership without turning that ownership into shame. How to pursue a bigger, stronger physique without letting the way I look on a given day determine how I feel about myself.

That’s a part of bodybuilding nobody really talks about.

Improvement season isn't just building the body.

It’s learning how to become the person capable of carrying it.

Still becoming her. Rep by rep. 💪

Guess me and @acheulifts deserve a Nanaimo bar along with a tapsilog now.

But much fun. Amaze amaze amaze. Hit QT again. Swipe to the last pic to summarize my deadlift in a nutshell. But ngl, 30 kgs jump on my dead in retrospective definitely is a ballsy move that made @remullagotgrams and probably some others heart rate to spike hahahaha. As much I’d like to share the physical and mental journey over the year, I’d rather keep it short and simple and say I enjoyed the experience being back at the same place that started it all for me.

@bandofbarbells thank you for hosting the most wonderful meet ever. It was important I showed out with the debut of their first ever hosted provincials.
—
Also someone find the @ for man that found my powerlifting shoe that I dropped in the middle of the road. Honestly the most clutch person of the day for me.

Thank you to the dream team @remullagotgrams @theeatmethod @upgradestrengthrehab for everything so far.

OPA Provs Recap (except i’m a washed out, retired lifter)

volunteered 6/6 sessions: 3 as a professional yapper, 2 as F1 Pit Crew, 1 at the tables of score. also managed to get training in between sessions and hit a conventional pr woohoo!

I’m so happy I got to catch up with old friends and be with the community! I also created new friendships which is always really fulfilling <3 I am grateful I got to be a part of this year’s Provincials:) @bandofbarbells put on a wonderful meet!

Alsooo thank you so much to everyone who gave me words of encouragement and compliments about my yapping??!!!! A part of me feels like you guys are just saying nice things to be kind, BUT I really do appreciate it 👉🏽👈🏽. As always, feedback is encouraged and welcomed!

Maybe next Provs I’ll be a referee (uhh ohhh) or an oly lifter (oooo shiiii). Wherever the wind blows, there I will be doing a side quest 🏄🏽‍♂️.

If you’re still reading, YIPPEEE. You get a kith mwahh 💋. Much love always - J 🤍💫
