PERFECT YOUR SQUAT SETUP

90% of what creates a successful squat happens BEFORE you descent.

Lifters tend to over-complicate technique by forcing their bodies to move in certain ways during the descent.

The key to nailing your squat groove; is consistently aligning a RIGID and STACKED position.

Clash at the Collective Comp III

127.5/75/167.5
370 (+27.5) @ 54kg
90.53 GL

This comp exceeded my expectations and was just everything I needed. Hitting 9/9 for the first time in years and hitting a x3 BW DL.

@victor.uplift for being in my corner. Couldn’t have done this without you. We freaking did it !
@joshualuu for stepping in and handling me and dealing with my crash outs all year. Appreciate you🫶
@minh.duongy for being nice for once and helping me warm up😅
Thank you to @_strength_collective and the volunteers for holding a great comp.
@jaclyntran_ for filming and your screaming.

Southern Showdown 2026 🦈

Bit of a chaotic lead up to comp, with a wedding the night before in Melb and then taking a 7am flight to Hobart the next morning. Competed off 3 hours sleep but what even are externals 🤪

A massive thank you to @victor.uplift for being my guiding light and coach. And to @coachfrankbas_ @frankbascetta_ who’s been my nutrition coach for the last few months to help me fill out the 69kg class, the improvements have been astounding I really would be lost your guidance 🥹

Squat: 112.5 / 120 / 125kg (+7.5kg comp PB)
Bench: 80 / 85 (+5 comp PB)/ 90X
Deadlift: 152.5 / 165 (-5kg PB)/ 172.5X
Total: 375kg (+12.5) @ 67.4kg

Guess we’re entering my forearm bodybuilding arc 💪 by @victor.uplift

🐍 SOUTHERN SHOWDOWN II 🐍

Lucky comp number 13 - survived my first acute weight cut, made weight lol (IYKYK), 9/9 lifts made, no red lights, comp PBs in all aspects, edged the Nationals QT and redeemed myself after June while also exceeding my own expectations.

While qualifying for Nationals was never the goal, this was the super-meet I needed and I feel so proud to finally be sitting this close to the Nationals QT, something that once seemed impossible and out of reach.

SQ 122.5kg (+2.5kg PB)
BP 67.5kg (+2.5kg PB)
DL 157.5kg (+5kg PB)

TOTAL 347.5kg (+15kg PB)

BW 56.90kg (57kg class)
GL 81.62 (+3.63)

@victor.uplift, thank you for riding the waves with me, for teaching me the value of doing hard shit and always challenging me to be the best athlete I can be. A special mention to assistant coach @charles_rpblk - thank you both for all that you do 🧡

Big shout out to my girl, @angievellaa. Thank you for your company and emotional support this whole trip, going above and beyond to make sure I am well taken care of leading into comp - carrying all the heavier bags, the constant reassurance, the non-verbal time, the "what can I do to support you?" and all the laughs that made everything feel a little lighter 💕

Friends, thank you for the overwhelming amount of love and kindness that I felt this weekend, both at home and in the crowd. It was also a fun time prepping, training and competing with the @nexusperformance.melb crew - apologies and big thanks to everyone who had to deal with my recent crash outs, y'all are awesome 🫶

Thank you @compoundtn x @stronghold_ballarat and all volunteers involved for hosting this event. This was my second time competing at Southern Showdown and you guys really stepped it up. Same time next year? 😎

With over 10 years of coaching, I've observed one fundamental truth.

The best athletes all possess these traits for high performance.

1. Process-Oriented
2. Highly resilient
3. Insatiable hunger to strive for their potential

Success often leaves clues. by @victor.uplift

Overthinking is the most common
mistake athletes make in high-stake
performances.

It's natural to have racing thoughts
when the outcome is uncertain,

But in the face of uncertainty, having
relentless belief in yourself,
drastically increases the likelihood of
achieving your goal. by @victor.uplift
