 My Proof of Work!

10 years ago, I wanted to compete in a powerlifting competition. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, becoming a parent of a beautiful child with a brain disorder, I had to abandon that goal.

Now fast-forward to the end of 2023. I broke up with the mother of my child and gym/lifting heavy weights was my kind of therapy. Enter my goal to compete in a powerlifting competition.

For the last couple of months, I have consistently 3x times a week lifting weights and fully focusing on the SBC cup (powerlifting competition).

So yesterday the time came for my first official powerlifting competition.

The best lift of the day was my deadlift (video).

Results:
➡️190kg deadlift
➡️170kg squat
➡️105kg bench

Next goal:
>200kg deadlift
>200kg squat
>120kg bench
 
My own Proof of Work!

Let’s go!💪🏽🧡
