2026 British Equipped Recap š¬š§š„
As I have been saying I know my biggest issue is I like to pile pressure on myself š¤¦āāļø
So the goal for this competition wasnāt to hit PBs it was to have a good day and ideally go 9/9
Build confidence and build the total to hopefully win š
Squat missed my first and second lifts on DEPTH FFS!
Well there is no amount of pressure to know you HAVE to get this lift in or you will bomb š£ (which basically means you donāt total so your score doesnāt count) the rules are you have to get at least 1 of each lift.
Finished on 190kg which I would normally have been disappointed by but again the plan was to get the total and build it.
Thoughts of why it was high when I worked so hard on depth in training⦠johns is ICE š§ COLDā¦. In thatās hall it was bloody roasting which meant I was swollen! And suit felt tighter. š¤·š¼āāļøš„µ
Bench 100 ā
105 ā
110 ā
I was over the moon with⦠itās the most consistent I have benched in a long time at a competition.
I have been nursing inflammation in both shoulders and elbows with nerve damage to my left elbow so hit this and get all 3 was a VIBE!
Deadlift 160 ā
170 ā
180 ā
the best deadlifts I have ever done⦠so quick, technique was good.
I finished the day on 480kg which is my equal best total at 69kg
However 7/9 is good for me š«¢
It felt amazing knowing I had more in the tank on all 3 lifts.
7 years competing šļøāāļø
My 5th national competition š¬š§
1 international competition š
And finally a gold medal š„
Honestly this feel so good working so hard for something, how demotivated I felt at Christmas I very nearly throw in the towel!
Bloody glad I didnāt now!
You have to do the stuff you donāt want to do to reach your goals š¤·š¼āāļøš¤
Now whatās next š
Thank you for everyoneās words my heart is so full! š©µš
