Crazy to think how much life was changed over the past couple of years 🤯

Dec 2023 - MTL > MEL
Feb 2024 - MEL > ADL
Feb 2024 - Now: studied my tail off and met some pretty incredible people along the way, including the most special person in the world 💃🥰

Thank you to Adelaide for hosting 🌅

Onward and upward!

2/3/25 - SA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

What an unreal day.

🟢🟢🟢 SQUAT: 200kg - Severely underestimated my squat on the day, the last squat felt like a warm up 😂 Happy with how smooth they felt and excited to push them more in the future.

🔴🔴🟢 BENCH: 142.5kg - 2 technical fouls to start, meaning the weight was less than I'd hoped for; although still a 2.5kg PB in comp. 👍🏼

🟢🟢🟢 DEADLIFT: 260kg - STOKED. PB of 25kg in comp, and so glad I got to do one ACTUAL max effort lift on the day. In saying that, I may not have had the energy left to push like I did for the 260, so I'm happy with the final result.

Still a good amount of room for improvement.

A massive shoutout to for making this happen and handling me on the day, coach for the comp prep, for hosting, and for the unwavering support through it all 🙏

'til next time 💥

First powerlifting competition under the belt!

Wow, what an amazing experience, it's been 6 months of serious powerlifting training and I couldn't be happier with the results. 7/9 successful lifts.

To my close friends , thank you so much for all of your help through the whole process. I'm so grateful to have friends like you and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. You both helped me every step of the way. You also introduced me to my coach , who I couldn't thank enough for the amazing prep and in competition support.

Many more competitions to come.
