USPA Old Skool Iron Meet Recap…I crushed it!

Oh man, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Yes, there were some things I could have done better. But overall, I was happy with my performance. In a nutshell, I broke the national squat record, the national bench press record, and the national overall total record, PLUS I won the Best Lifter award, and it feels so awesome to get that honor and validation. My hard work paid off! ::::contented sighs:::

Well, where should I start… I guess I’ll start ...

Powerlifting training update 3.5 weeks out

My Strength

For example, with squats…

Before Argentina, I hit 320. I want to hit 326 in the meet. Today I tried for 308 and failed. My strength felt decent but my form was a bit off. I am having problems getting my balance right, which doesn’t allow me to fully leverage my own strength. It’s funny, because Dan ...

First Powerlifting Competition!!

Hello folks!
I am super excited about my first powerlifting competition: United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) NORCAL Powerlifting Championship on Dec 15th, in Modesto.

To this end, I am shifting my focus from bodybuilding style workouts ...

New PR’s in Deadlift, Bench, and Pull Ups!!

In the adult female bracket (my bracket), Bre dominated. I’ve never met her, and there’s nothing personal– it’s just that I felt like breaking some records. Among other records, she had done a weighted pull up at 27 pounds, a bench press at 135 pounds, and a deadlift at 255 pounds. Although ...
