No better way to cap off summer break 😎

Drove down to Eugene one last time on Saturday to lift with some amazing people and left with a 94 kg. (207 lbs.) snatch for a +1 kg. Increase 📈

Shoutout to everyone there who makes the 2 hour drive more than worth it 🙌🫶 @uo_weightlifting @karakgs @mcinvale2

Let’s just say a lot has changed…

I’ve always wanted to make a video like this once I started getting more serious about weightlifting and started posting more weightlifting videos cause eventually my dunking would have been more forgotten.

Truthfully, I was a kid who really enjoyed basketball but was never athletic and wanted to change that for the better. I made this Instagram account to document my progress throughout the years and by doing so, I met a community of dunkers and athletes that I never knew I would be surrounded by. Eventually it led to me researching about dunk training, lifting weights, etc. and even went as far as transferring schools to start a dunk club. Ultimately, learning to lift did spark my passion in weightlifting which is where I’m at today!

Lastly, I genuinely appreciate those who actually took the time to read this entire caption or watch the entire video. I also genuinely appreciate those who have stuck with me and still supported me when I decided to switch hobbies related to my fitness. Yall are real ones 🙌💯

Also a disclaimer: the hoops that I am dunking on after Aug. 2023 are lower than 10ft. By a lot. Generally lost all my motivation to dunk on 10ft. After 2022 but the hoops range from 9’6-9’7.5. Still improved a ton on those heights as you can tell 😉
