SBD PH Nationals 2026 🇵🇭 S-210kg/462lbs (+10kg) B-145kg/319lbs (+5kg) D-270kg/594lbs (+10kg) Total: 625kg/1375lbs (+25kg) 6/9 BW: 82.7kg From 14th to 4th place. This meet wasn’t about qualifying for next nationals anymore, it was about chasing a podium finish. Squats were squats. Bench. It took most of the beating. Unaware of the “forefinger in contact with the rings” rule (wide grip bencher problems), I had to change technique, also went in with a strained Serratus Anterior. The goal was simple; don’t bomb out. 3rd attempt deadlift. The lift that could have put me on the podium. The glory that hovered just above lockout. The pull that got away 💀 I was worn out, blacked out trying to lockout. I should be proud of this feat, but it only makes me want more. See you next year! 🔒 A big thank you to everyone who supported! akong tender might, @xfitbella , for the unwavering gugma and care. Top tier handling skills too! to my team, @barbellsnweights , the gym fam, for creating such a strong & competitive environment.

I’m still lingering in my competition hangover, trying to fully process and appreciate the incredible experience I just had. It’s a mix of excitement, exhaustion, and a deep sense of gratitude that’s hard to put into words. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my coach, @k.flash13 . Your dedication, patience, and expertise have been instrumental in helping me reach this point. You’ve invested countless hours in training, analyzing my progress, and providing guidance both physically and mentally. To my beloved Lola @joan_bacareza , Kuya @bohboh , Mama Inday, and Ate @bacarezareynolds —thank you from the bottom of my heart for your financial support. Your contributions made it possible for me to attend the competition, cover training expenses, travel costs, and other necessities. Your willingness to invest in my dreams provided me with the confidence and stability I needed to focus on my training. I know I wouldn’t be here today without your generosity and unwavering support, and I am deeply grateful for everything you have done to help me succeed. To my @barbellsnweights Family, Iloveyou and we will continue our powerlifting journey together❤️ Furthermore, I want to take a moment to thank God for blessing me with the confidence and courage to pursue goals I never thought I would achieve. This achievement is not just my own; it’s a reflection of the love, guidance, and sacrifices made by all of you along the way. I am incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive network of family and friends, and I hope to continue making you proud as I pursue further milestones in my powerlifting journey. Thank you once again to everyone who believed in me, supported me, and helped turn my goals into reality. This is only the beginning of an exciting new chapter. I am eagerly looking forward to participating in more powerlifting competitions and setting even higher goals for myself.❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💪🏼💪🏼
