Unats 2026 Recap 🥳🥳

2nd ever national meet, wasn’t the most excited coming in due to my gut cut and how my training had been progressing, but everything went fairly well all things considered. (Don’t question my 3rd bench setup 😶‍🌫️)

Squat: 190kg/417lbs (PR match from States)

Bench: 107.5kg/232lbs (Another PR match)

Deadlift: 227.5/501lbs (7.5kg PR 🥳)

Squat and bench weren’t looking good in prep, largely my fault. My only goal coming in was 500+ deadlift, which I got handily.

All in all, for my first travel meet and gut cut I did really well and can’t complain too much. sure I could’ve done more but we had to use the data I was outputting and be reasonable.

Special thanks to @gtbarbell for making this happen, as well as @cocofelonlifts for meet day handling.

Shout out to all my teammates who all worked hard and stood tall on the platform @_lucas_lifts @cbarath47 @_briggsd @boonisnotliftsbackwards @so.phia.cabe @boulevardofbrokenprs @cai-lin @izzy.gymming @snoopy.lifts . Y’all great and I enjoyed having my first travel meet with you goobers.

Special thanks to everyone who reached out or tuned in to support, and ofc can’t thank @swolechong for all the coaching and guidance he’s blessed me with 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ah, also went 9/9 once again with 27/27 white lights 🥳🥳⚪️⚪️⚪️ taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @ty.lerte

~5 Hours of sleep << HENNY PURE WHITE

While five hours of sleep provides partial physiological restoration, it often results in residual grogginess, reduced reaction time, and suboptimal neuromuscular firing due to incomplete REM and slow-wave sleep cycles. In contrast, Hennessy Pure White introduces a rapid-onset modulation of the central nervous system that temporarily suppresses fatigue perception, increases subjective confidence, and enhances risk tolerance—key psychological components in many athletic environments. The mild vasodilatory effects associated with alcohol consumption may also create a fleeting sensation of loosened musculature and reduced stiffness, which some athletes interpret as improved mobility or “being warmed up.” Furthermore, elevated dopamine signaling can improve competitive mindset, aggressiveness, and willingness to engage physically, traits often valued in high-intensity or recreational athletic contexts. by @ty.lerte

🚨PA STATES MEET RECAP🚨

First meet in PA and first time i’ve had to spit to make weight, dehumanizing experience but we ball 🦁

Was really nervous since my taper didn’t feeeel like it was going well and all my PR’s this week felt a lot harder during my peak. But, overall I had a lot of fun. Very happy to have competed with my club and amongst so many friends.

Went 9/9 on all lifts and had 27/27 white lights, hitting PR’s everywhere and getting a new total PR overall. I also didn’t get injured at all so i’m very happy with that.

Squat: 190kg/418lbs (+5kg PR)
Bench: 107.5kg/237lbs (+2.5kg PR)
Deadlift: 207.5kg/474lbs (+7.5kg PR)

New Total: 512.5kg, 400 DOTS‼️

Big Shoutout to my coach @swolechong for making sure my peak and taper went well, as well as handling me on meet day. Truly couldn’t have done this without you.

Can’t forget @gtbarbell and all the wonderful people i’ve befriended and competed with, really these meets get more fun when I know more people competing.

Same gym, same platform, but 2.5 years apart. My training and goals have taken turns that I would have never expected all those years ago.

I’ve met so many influential people in the gym space and i’ve undergone numerous changes, but I’ll never forget where I started and am always looking back to where it all began. taken in Gold's Gym Destin Florida by @ty.lerte

🚨Momocon Tournament of Power Meet Recap🚨

Sorry for the delay people (this meet was a month ago) but I have finally compiled all the footage and created clips I am satisfied with 😁 (some of the livestream clips were meh ngl but I tried my best 😭)

Going into this meet I wasn’t the most motivated. However once my coach and I began talking about attempt numbers my excitement began increasing and I began to look more forward to it. I knew I wanted a higher bench PR and I wanted 200kg for deadlift. For squat, I didn’t feel like I progressed much since states so I wasn’t quite optimistic but I knew i’d have a PR.

SQUAT
1st: 155kg (341lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️
2nd: 170kg (374lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️
3rd: 180kg (396lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️

BENCH
1st: 90kg (198lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️
2nd: 97.5kg (214lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️
3rd: 105kg (231lbs) 🔴🔴🔴
- all three of them got me I can’t count this as a PR 😭😭😭

DEADS
1st: 175kg (385lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️
2nd: 190kg (418lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️
3rd: 200kg (440lbs) ⚪️⚪️⚪️

Bench, I got red lighted for up-down motion on my ascent. My back started cramping right when the up-down happened so ngl i’m not surprised it was a no lift. happy that I had the help I needed to recover and continue the meet.

All in all, this meet ended up being a lot of fun and was very successful all in all. I got a 5kg PR on squat and a 10kg PR on deadlifts. The meet venue was new to me and extremely interesting to see it play out within an active anime convention.

Shoutout to my new friends I made at the meet @frankiesmaxxes and @the.real.praneeth , pleasure meeting you both and getting to compete with y’all. (Frankie ty for letting me borrow some of your stuff, the resistance band saved me).

Once again can’t thank @swolechong enough, he’s put me on his back and carried me through the entirety of States Recovery and my meet prep.

Finally, of course I can’t forget my family, who are always supporting me in my powerlifting journey and texting me between attempts, could not have done it without yall. 🥹

Also this meet recap wouldn’t be possible without the clips provided by @wh3yfu so thank you for the support and for recording my bench attempts!!!! by @ty.lerte

USAPL State Championship Meet Recap:

Squat: 175kg (385lbs) (+15kg Meet PR and +10 ATPR) these went far better than I would’ve thought given how my training was going. the taper truly saved me.

Bench: 100kg (220lbs) (+7.5 meet pr). wanted more but given how my second attempt went (lost bar pathing otw up) bumping my third down was a good and safe move.

Deadlift: 190kg (418lbs) (20kg meet PR 🦅and 5kg ATPR) These moved spectacularly, and better yet I visibly had more left in the tank. much hope for the future.

Went 9/9 BABYYYY and 26/27, overall big meet day improvements

To my very first opp, @roebel.lifts, I thought I was gonna get steam rolled by you given I didn’t know ur numbers but I knew they were higher than mine. losing by only 2.5kg after your 12.5kg PR pull is insane but it’s clear u earned the dub. left me very satisfied though that you had to fight for it though despite the strays you threw at me 😅

This meet turned out to be extremely fun and I had an amazing time with everyone there. special thanks to @duggdoesntlift for meet day handing and my coach @swolechong, I wouldn’t be here without him.

To everyone else, my family and friends tuning in from afar, as well as my friends spotting, loading, and competing with me that day I thank you all. Everyone truly made it a meet to remember. by @ty.lerte
