Me and Barbella going places
Persian man in a murder scene killing it
Squat - 195kg (+5kg)
Bench - NOODLE arms got 100kg (0kg). Bench is just the intermission.
Deadlift - 200kg (-12.5kg)
Funny story with deadlift. First and second attempts were no-lifts. So reattempted my second and this time it counted. We then proceeded to try 220 in the back haha, gotta say 220 is βdoableβ.
Major shoutout to my CAFFINE from @loadedcandy_ , boy I LOVE DRUGS. Thanks to @thirds.co for the edit. A minute of Silience for the toe stubbed along the way to greatness @michael_titanperformance.

NSW States 2026
This was the toughest prep i've had (if you've seen my squats during training then you know π
).
Still very proud that I still managed to show up, give it my best and get the dub π₯. Was suprised how 295kg went up for deadlift, just didnt have enough juice to hold it π«
Thank you @breakthroughpowerlifting for hosting a great comp as always.
@sambutterworth__ thank you for helping me get here and i'll continue to work harder.
@dooffin.lifts & @bigduma420 Man what a crew. Thank you lads for being in my corner, ya'll helped me stayed calm and collected. Sorry for trolling 2nd attempts π
@omnifitnessau thank you for the encouragement and support.

All Glory to God β
First 3 lift comp back in 1 year and 4 months.
After absolutely eating dirt block after block, running in circles with various kinds of injuries within the past year, Iβm truely blessed to have finally made my comeback into the platform. Nonetheless, this comp was a great reminder on why I will continue to love and compete in this sport. π
Next time Iβll be in prime time.
I wanna give my gratitude to the brothers that have made this comeback possible.
@zt_output this guy has saw me at my lowest of lows in my training, and this comp is just a little stepping stone towards many more to come π«
@warren.chiro fully saved my powerlifting career π
@barbelldietitian for the handling the nutrition side of things even though we had a short 4 week turnaround from my paragon comp π₯
S/o to the bois and @omnifitnessau for the support π
Major thanks to @breakthroughpowerlifting @australianpowerliftingalliance & volunteers for running the comp π€
