2nd Unicorn 9/9 Meet! 😂
Or maybe I am just getting better at being a competitor 🤔

For the number crunchers out there:
410 kilo/904 pound total at 61.2/135 pounds BW for a 448.899 dots score.
5 kilo meet PR for squat 152.5/336
2.5 kilo meet PR for bench 82.5/181.8
2.5 kilo meet PR for deadlift 175/385 with more in the tank but needed to pull for the 🥇I have never been in a pull for the win situation before!

2nd best female raw lifter overall, bringing home $500! 🎉 I still kinda can’t believe I got paid to lift 😂

For those of you who want to read more about my journey, I’ll paste it in the comments below.

The best moment of the weekend for me by far was the team placing. I am so proud of our community and I love these people. They have been so supportive of me, and mine and Joe’s @jolylifter vision for UPH. I couldn’t ask for a better gym fam.

To @eccbeast @aopowerlifting @elizabetht_9917 @moarplates and all the amazing refs, spotters, loaders, volunteers, announcers - thank you so much for this special weekend. It’s because of all of you that myself and the UPH team could have this moment and this memory. We are incredibly grateful to be a part of such a high class meet.

To Joe, we did it again! Thank you for turning me into such a tiny monster. I’m forever grateful for this gift of strength you help me uncover ❤️

If you have read this far, thank you to you as well 😂 taken in The VERVE Hotel Natick by @tiny_gym_rat

Thank you to the most high!! Thank you to my family and friends. Thank you to the @urbanpowerhouse family!! All the support was the VIBES!!

Now let’s get into the meet, the goal was to qualify for States to represent the house of Urban Power! Side goals was to get 2nd place (because I have a 1st and 3rd place metals already and go 9 for 9) which I didn’t go 9 for 9 lol)). One of the wildest things was @tiny_gym_rat looking at me and told me “you need to go 3 for 3 on the deadlifts.” And then walked away as I was 5 out from deadlifting. My brain went to having a back up plan but then I said to myself “What would Kobe do!” I was locked in after that!! We went 3 for 3 on the deadlifts and I walked away knowing I will be at States in November to represent Urban PowerHouse!! Then out of the blue they called my name for 2nd place lol.

It was a great time and I’m excited to run it back in November with Team Urban PowerHouse!! by @tiny_gym_rat

When your partner takes amazing/funny photos of you, you break your gallery theme of lifting heavy circles.

Come back soon for posts dedicated to food and annoying couples photos 🍜🍶🍣🇯🇵

Gallery post for these rep PRs at a pretty light BW for me. 60.6 🔑

The last rep of 160 x 5 unfortunately had a sketchy ending.
But 157.5 x 5 was clean 🧼 taken in Urban PowerHouse by @tiny_gym_rat
