💕 walk for women’s cancer 2026 💕 36 kms. 7 hours 8 mins. Laughs, memories and a whole lotta fun. Challenging both physically and mentally but worth every second to raise money for those we have lost, those who are currently fighting and all the future women who will battle. F**k cancer

✨ APRIL ✨

This girl, 100kgs, unhealthy, unhappy, relied on food for comfort, social anxiety through the roof. The journey from 100kgs to 64kgs (which is what I weighed in at for my first novice comp in the second slide). At my smallest I was starving, for food, for attention, For security. I found power lifting and my whole world changed. Slowly over the last 4 years I’ve progressively gained 8kgs,( last slide). But I’ve also gained so much more, love like I’ve never known, support from every direction, confidence through the roof and a bone deep certainty that I am safe. I am so proud of myself and what I’ve achieved. Might be thicker than a snickers right now but I’m also STRONG 😍

🔥 STATES 2026 🔥 A time was had ✨ The talented @buffdumpling @thirds.co making me look like a baddie once again. I love this shit 🥹

And that’s on trusting the process, finding the problem and fixing it, doing the god dam WORK. +17.5 kgs in a year is a slay 💅

APL STATES 2026 ✨ Came for the dead’s, left with the squat. Wowee what a day. 7/9 with a squat and total PB. S:155 (+10kgs ) B: 80 ( equal PB ) D: 152.5 ( equal PB) 387.5 (+10kgs ) Today was a vibe. Squats being the highlight 🤩 155 kgs are you kidding me !! Bench was the best I had today and that’s ok. Dead’s…. Welp it wasn’t there again but just made me hungry to try again !! Huge shoutout to @lkstrength for handling us in the warm up room today and keeping the vibes high. @darwin.pl another one under the belt. More PBs. More mems and a whole lot of fun. Keen for the next. @ascension.strength we just do it better 💅 blessed to be apart of the team. @inthe_houseofpain another wonderful comp. Huge shoutout to all the spotters, loaders, ref and volunteers. These comps wouldn’t happen without all of you. @lift_dietetics from the cut to the bulk and everything in between, you have been a pivotal part of all the successes. Huge shoutout and thanks 🤝 Keen for the next one.

Preps done and dusted once again 💅 This one felt like it snuck up on me big time. Probably my most challenging one to date. Broken bone in my foot to kick things off, severe skin allergy across my feet and ankles, compressed nerve in one shoulder blade and inflammation in the other. Alongside a lot of routine changes and personal shit this one was challenging. HOWEVER we finished prep with a +10kg total PB. A 150kg squat +5kgs, 155kg deadlift +2.5 kgs and 82.5 kg bench +2.5 kgs. Giving me a 387.5 kg total. Sitting at an average BW of 72 kgs I’m the heaviest I’ve been throughout a prep, bulking into this comp with the help of @lift_dietetics . Keen to have some fun next week. @darwin.pl @inthe_houseofpain @ascension.strength

✨ MARCH glimmers ✨

🌅 Runrise ✨ Another sensational event by @dawnbreak.au The most wholesome morning once again spent with the girls I hold closest. Rich in life because of them.

🐉 2 YEARS 🐲 Today marks 2 years with @darwin.pl and being apart of @ascension.strength . Still the best decision I made in my power lifting journey thus far. Some huge gains have been made in the last 12 months. With a few less comps under my belt this year, states, 2nd appearance at nationals and 2 fun side quest deadlift comps we have had one hell of a year. A switch to sumo has been so fun and super challenging, still so much more room for improvement but on the gain train and keen to see what I can do next comp with a bit more time. Stats looking a little something like this …. Squats 137.5kg - 150kgs Bench 75 kgs - 82.5 for a double Deadlift 160kgs conventional- 157.5 kgs sumo. Still the same weight class U75s but I smal increase in average body weight ✌🏻 Grateful for the support and belief as always @darwin.pl
