Jaxon's 2026 USA Powerlifting Youth Nationals photo dump

🏅- Y2 (10-11yrs), 56kg class
Squat - 99lbs, Nebraska State Record
Bench - 44lbs, Nebraska State Record
Deadlift - 148.5lbs, PR and Nebraska State Record
Total - 291.5lbs, PR and Nebraska State Record

New weight class, 3rd Youth Nationals, same results for a 3-peat National Championship! (24, 25, 26) 💪 and clean sweep of the State Records for the new weight class.

We were hoping this meet would be his first 300+ lbs total but going 6 for 9, missing all three 3rd attempts, he came up just short of that goal. He still had a good meet overall and had a fantastic time with teammates and old friends. The platform is where he belongs, where he shines, where he feels proud of himself and that is what this is all about ❤️

Avery's 2026 USA Powerlifting Youth Nationals photo dump.

🥈- Y3 (12-13yrs) 75kg class
Squat - 132lbs, Nebraska State Record
Bench - 77lbs, PR
Deadlift - 181.5lbs, PR
Total - 390.5lbs

We made a significant jump for a PR squat 3rd attempt, which would have been a PR total too but it wasn't in the cards this time.

Avery is in his 2nd season (3rd different weight class) with Pug Mafia Gym. This was his first big time meet as well as first meet outside of Nebraska. The pressure did not phase him! He had a couple early blemishes (3rd squat and opener bench) but was determined and he righted the ship by smoking his final 5 attempts for PRs in bench and deadlift. Avery has really great form and technique already and it's a joy to coach him because I know he will always bring his best effort and strive for better. I feel like next season will he a significant break through in strength increases. 💪

Rylie's 2026 USA Powerlifting Youth Nationals photo dump.

🥉 - Y1 (8-9yrs) 30kg class
Squat - 50.6lbs, PR and Nebraska State Record
Bench - 25.3lbs
Deadlift - 83.6lbs, PR and Nebraska State Record
Total - 159.5lbs PR

Rylie finished the meet 8 for 9, only missing her 2nd bench and coming back to get it on her 3rd attempt. In preparation for the big stage she competed 3 times in 3 months to ensure she would be comfortable on the platform and know what to expect. She did not let the fact that she was the smallest lifter at Nationals hold her back from giving her biggest performance and glow with smiles the entire time.
