What a special day. I cannot express how special this day was for me as a Coach. Austin Wilson has become a Sub Jr world champion! My first athlete to become a world champion🫡

Representing USA winning 1st place, 816Kg total @ 105kg
Squat 321 🥇🌎
Bench 177.5 🥉
Deadlift 317.5 🥈

Beyond proud of Austin in the past year. Since our initial conversation over DMs. I told Austin that he will become a National & World champion if he locks in and starts competing. Since then, with 300+ lbs added to the total, we have done it🤝🏼.

At the National Championships this year, we fell short and came in second but had the invite to worlds where Austin’s true perseverance showed. Austin’s unmatched work ethic is a major reason we were able put together a winning total. Adding 27.5 kgs to the total from the National Tournament.

A big thank you to @carrytonz for amazing handling and communication with me as I could only coach from stands this year. A lot of attempt changes had to happen since it was a neck to neck battle all day.

A lot more greatness is yet to come from him. We’re just getting started🔥

2025 Collegiate Crossroads Recap

First meet in the books.

Squat:

-172.5kg/380lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
-182.5kg/402lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
-197.5kg/435lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️ (10lbs ATPR)

MVP of the day. Squats were the lift I was the least confident in coming into the day, and boy did they show up. Really happy to walk away with a 10lbs PR.

Bench:

-117.5kg/259lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
-125kg/275lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️ (ATPR match)
-132.5kg/292lbs 🔴🔴🔴

Not much to say. Strength definitely was there, and we were probably good for about 127.5-130kg, but I got overzealous and wanted to load more than I could handle.

Deadlift:

-195kg/430lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
-215kg/474lbs ⚪️⚪️⚪️
-230kg/507lbs 🔴🔴🔴

Again, strength was definitely there on the day. Opener and 2nd attempt absolutely flew, which gave me the confidence to load 230kg for my third. I believe the strength was there, but I failed on grip.

Total: 537.5kg/1185lbs

Overall very proud of the performance I put together. Had a ton of fun, and it made what I need to work on very clear. Excited to see what I can put together with more time and experience under my belt.

Thank you to @jack_of_the_shack for taking the day off work to come down and handle me. Had a couple slip ups here and there (lock in), but I wouldn’t have gotten through the day without his help and support.

Thank you to @itsvenyoki for getting me through this prep and helping me put together this performance. Ven always sees a potential in me that I struggle to see myself, and it’s definitely helped me make a lot of progress over time. Also thank you for bearing with my occasional (constant) whining when training didn’t go my way😂.

Huge thanks to the @purduepowerlifting family who made this prep and meet day 10x more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise. Good job to everyone else who competed this weekend, I can’t wait to share the platform with y’all again.

Finally, thank you to all my friends who supported me throughout this prep and tuned in on the livestream to watch me compete. Seeing the support I got from y’all only makes me more proud of what I achieved.

First Yoki Powerlifting athlete to get a worlds invite!

As a coach, this is a dream come true. Not only is Austin genetically gifted for this sport, but he also has unmatched work ethic. When Austin and I first spoke less than a year ago, I told him, “you will be at worlds one day if you just lock in” and here we are…

About 101kgs added to the total in under a year to total 778kgs.

In less than a year, Austin went from just a gym goer that has some strong lifts, to getting a chance to compete at the world level…and I truly believe we have a good chance to win. 👀

See ya’ll in Costa Rica!
