This was a dope comp. Americans really put on. We set lots of records overall even though we didnt bring home the big prize. Sheffield is an odd meet where your ability to win is largely based on how strong the WR in your class is. Typically the winner has often cut down a weight class to pick off an underdeveloped WR total.

My boy Russ beat the depth allegations. I never thought he had depth issues really the judges have just always been biased against him and other Americans because we are too good. So he went back in training and made it undeniable. Glad to see bro finally push himself all out in a meet instead of doing the bare minimum to win.


Big Perk squatting 712 at 163 is absurd


Ashton took 826 for a ride w/ a bum shoulder/pec/bicep


Unsurprisingly Kjell won the whole thing because he cut a weight class to take out a weak WR in the 66kg class. It'll be awhile before anyone else in that class touches those numbers


then last but certainly not least Agata Sitko. the #1 powerlifter in the world won the women's side again this year going down a weight class. i believe she has WRs in 2 weight classes now and almost beat the girl that has the WR 2 weight classes up from her today.

Yeah it was an enjoyable event to watch. Sucks that neither Russ or Austin medalled.

Water weight can really throw you in for a loop. Two days in Vegas where my eating was a bit lax and it shows I “gained” 8lbs. Salty foods and carbs will do you in.

I know it’ll all be flushed by Wed/Thu was I get back to my routine.

This just underscores why I’ve been keeping things tight for all of Q1 (limited social functions, no liq/tree, etc). A bad weekend can toss you off course before you make proper strides. Anyway, back on it the next moment. Discipline > Motivation.

But I do feel the changes in my mindset. My body is craving more and more physical activity. Like the fact I didn’t play soccer or cycle this weekend has me feeling some typer of way.

Daily progress leading to weekly progress leading to monthly progress

I’ll treat myself with some new clothes once Q1 is done. Then get dialed back in for Q2
