687.5kg total
To be totally honest most deflated I’ve felt after a comp in a long time but we took every kilo that was there yesterday and that’s all you can really ask for. Massive thank you to all the team Éire coaches who did an incredible job @dav_abspowerlifting@arthx_o@clarice_odyssey@maeve_mannion
So grateful to have such an amazing team of people behind me and it’s always an absolute honour to represent Ireland.
Shoutout to the bossman Rían @neartstrengthsystems for being an all round legend, it was an incredible prep with plenty of progress made, and Leah @upliftnutrition_coaching for dealing with my nefarious comp morning messages and also being on the ball with keeping me fuelled for comp day.
Time for an off-season, I will not be one of those juniors that fall off the grid in the open. Anyone who knows me as a person and athlete knows exactly how the next few years will play out.
(Anyone know if I can get a spicebag in Lithuania?)
This morning at 11am Irish time, @map_mwenya takes to the platform for his last junior competition. 🇱🇹
Map has had a busy year of competing with Junior Nationals and Junior World Championships so far this year.
After the most successful prep to date, Map is set to put up his biggest performance to date with an elusive total milestone within reach.

IPF Junior Worlds 2025 🇨🇷
692.5kg total (+2kg)
@ 82.4kg
That 2kg PB means a whole lot more than some of the bigger total PBs I’ve hit before. This prep was my toughest to date mentally and physically and to walk away with a total pb on the international platform after has me so excited for what I can do next with much more manageable externals now.
Massive thanks to the coaching team who made my day so much more enjoyable, and the rest of team Éire who supported throughout the comp. Also would like to thank my family @mcgarrybarbell for being so accommodating throughout this prep.
Lucky to have the best coaches in @rianmckeever and @upliftnutrition_coaching (I apologise for the headaches I caused trying to work around my job 😂). One more comp left as a junior and I will make it my best. See you in 12 weeks 🫡
