Sadly she did not make it. Should have loaded 320kg lol
2025 marks my 7th year of consistent strength training.
That doesn’t mean that I’ve been training EFFECTIVELY for all those years. The first 2 years I wasn’t training heavy enough and didn’t really know how getting more muscular “worked”. I did manage to get my first pull-up and get to a 100kg deadlift.
From 2020 onwards, I’ve been coached by good coaches and started adding mass and strength. Went from 62kg bw to 73kg bw and learned what it means to train hard.
Posting a rare video because after not lifting over 200lbs for all of 2024 as I built back from a wrist injury—I tested my deadlift up to 244lbs tonight! (110.5 kilos) that’s a personal record jump of 28lbs, almost 13 kilos #powerlifting
Oh, es gibt auch noch andere Nerds mit Liebe zum Schwergewicht

Ich darf auf der #dhcp24 einen Talk zu #Powerlifting halten https://talks.dhcp.cfhn.it/dhcp-2024/talk/ULLCMW/
Ich nehme auch schon sehr gerne im Voraus Fragen, die ich aufgreifen kann, wenn ihr denn welche habt :D
Holy shit, after today's lifts I just realized I'm only 5 pounds away from the 1000lb club, which I haven't been in for over a decade. I could toss that 5lbs on the squat or dead lift bar and be done with it.
10 years after really f'n my back up doing deadlifts I never thought I'd be back to lifting this heavy (heavy for me anyway) in my mid 40's.
Stats this week:
Squat: 345lbs
Deadlift: 415lbs
Bench: 235lbs
Let's see what coach has programmed for next week.
Did my first #powerlifting meet! I hit all my lift attempts: squat 150 kg (330.75 lbs), bench 105 kg (231.53 lbs), and deadlift 202.5 kg (446.51 lbs). I likely could have pushed a bit more on squat and deadlift but I’m happy with those numbers, but bench was clearly a max. I got first place! I was the only one in my weight class and age division but I’ll take it! Definitely want to do another meet now!
Picked up a few new lifting eBooks for my next programming cycle.
