About Me

Canada
I am an 83kg powerlifter in the CPU/IPF. I was the 93kg jr national champion in 2012, 83kg Jr national champion in 2013, and was the best junior lifter both years as well. I competed at IPF Jr worlds 2013 where I won a bronze medal in the deadlift with a lift of 282.5kg. I am ranked fourth of all-time in the Canadian Powerlifting Union. My competition bests at 83kg are: Squat: 332.5 kg Bench: 210 kg Deadlift: 300 kg Total: 842.5 kg

IPF Junior Worlds 2013

Squat
70*3
105*3
*belt
140*2
175*2
*wraps
205*2
*bottoms
240*2
*straps
275*1

Opener: 292.5 - demolished
Second: 307.5x - was off balance and cut depth
Third: 307.5x - got the squat command before I was fully settled and thus fell over before even starting. This was heartbreaking but hey, next time I will set a huge PR.

Bench
70*3
110*3
140*1
*shirt
175*2
192.5*1 - touched barely so lowered opener to 195kg
Opener: 195 - fasted shifted bench I have ever done
Second: 205 - super crisp
Third: 217.5x - shirt was jacked too hard and the belt was pulling too hard for me to get a good setup. Still very close. I speculate that if I skipped the belt I would have had it. Again, next time!

Deadlift
70*2
120*1
*suit bottoms
170*1
*straps
205*1
230*1
Opener: 250 - over the bar a little but still fast
Second: 270 - better positioning so moved well
Third: 282.5 - was more patient and in better positioning and holy crap... I hit an awesome 10kg PR for the bronze deadlift.

On Friday I was not sore at all and went in to train:
Squat

315*5
365*10

Bench
