Good luck to everyone competing at @canplwesterns this weekend in Saskatoon, especially to these five standout athletes! Lots of work was put into this prep, so let’s make it count on the platform.

Show your support by tuning into the lifting on the official CanPL YouTube channel. Otherwise, coaches @wendigo.kg & @littlemanbiglifts will be seeing you in the toon. 🫡 taken in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan by @wendigobarbell

WYLIE OPEN 2026

@melissap143 Finished the day at second place in the Open 76s! She went 8/9, adding 10kg to her squat PR, and 7.5kg to her bench! Melissa also successfully competed at weight class lower compared to February, just narrowly missing her Provs QT! I am certain that by Grit, we’ll be in fine form to demolish these numbers once again!

@djrmne Finished the day 8/9 as well and winning the 83 Opens, made the cut down from 93kg earlier this year, DJ finished squats with 192.5kg, bench with 105kg (PR match), and 212.5kg on deadlifts (2.5kg PR) With more time spent at this lower body weight, DJ will be in contention for that Provs QT once again!

@zachwiebe had one hell of a day at his first meet by adding 62.5kg to his total in our first 4ish block training cycle and qualified for provs! Can’t wait to see this beast kill it with a big off season coming up!

217.5kg Squat (Hit 227.5 then fell forward)

140kg Bench

227.5kg Deadlift

Wendigo Barbell makes an appearance for the third year in a row at NAPFs! This time, @pocketlifters is looking to make a statement amongst the Canadian 59s! He has worked tirelessly and consistently for the past 18 months and we are so excited to watch him represent Canada and Wendigo Barbell!

Make sure to tune in at 12:30MST to watch our favourite 59 do the damn thing! taken in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador by @wendigobarbell

CanPL Nats ‘26

First place on a less than ideal day, really proud of myself for pushing through the rocky first 2/3rds of the meet but I couldn’t have done it without my corner of amazing coaches. The mountain seems even higher but I’ll keep going, step by step.

Thank you to the meet directors, WestJet, the volunteers, coaching staff, friends and family back home, my amazing girlfriend. Wouldn’t have been a special day without everyone. I feel like I say this after every meet but it seems like we’re just getting started (fr this time).

230kg / 506lbs (-5kg)
150kg / 330lbs (-1kg)
287.5kg / 634lbs (+2kg)

667.5kg / 1472lbs (+7.5kg)

Powerlifting is a single player sport, but it takes a village to get to the top.

Been able to lean on them throughout prep, whether it’s sharing a rack during peak hours, asking for a spot, a fist bump after a big set or even just putting my shit away. Lotta love for my Wendigos and friends at Evolve South 🤍 by @wendigobarbell

125kg
132.5kg 9.5kg Meet PR

210kg
220kg

562.5kg 27.5kg Meet PR

After many ups and downs the past couple years, Eddy and I struggled to make his performances count as a 59kg. Happy to say that the move to making a statement as a 66kg is the move. Nats QT Secured!

@bobbyquilacio

205kg
220kg
225kg

125kg
135kg
140kg

260kg
285kg

650kg

As Bobby's first meet at 74kg, came in and took home best overall lifter making a statement at what is to come from him in the future in this new weight class. Also Secured Nat's QT!

@g.ren_
185/407 Squat (25kg PR)
102.5/225 Bench (12.5kg PR)
240/529 Deadlift

Ren unfortunately got sick 1 week out which made the tail end of his prep a little rocky, despite all of that he managed to PR his total by 22.5kg! He has worked super hard since Wylie and has proven that his hard work will not go unnoticed! We hope to see Ren later this year hit that Provincial qualifying total!

@djrmne
207.5/458 Squat (22.5kg PR)
105/232 Bench (7.5kg PR)
210/463 Deadlift (30kg PR)

DJ has bounced back from previous injury and is starting to pick up some steam! Since the summer, DJ has consistently worked hard and has developed into a wonderful athlete, DJ managed to put up a huge 60kg total PR since his last meet and we cannot wait to see what is in store for him next!
