Junior Nationals 2026 Recap Not the result I wanted but it's was a good day overall with PBs on every lift even on a 7/9 day Squat: 252.5kg (+37.5kg) Bench: 160kg (+10kg) Deadlift: 257.5kg (+7.5kg) Total: 670kg (+65kg) 3rd Place u83 Was a little disappointed with my 3rd squat getting overruled by the jury but I still finished with the best u83 squat Redeemed myself from bench nats and hit 160kg which finally beats my u93 bench Hit a PB on my second deadlift took a hail mary final attempt to try and get myself to first and it was just a bit too much on the day. Shout out of course to the man at the wheel @rianmckeever The progress that has been made since ABS Teens 7 has been insane. Thanks to @olearylifts_2004 for getting back to the 83s after I decided that being a 74 wasn't for me Thanks to @tjpainfree for helping me out with a pec strain I suffered in prep (I couldn't bench 100kg on Monday 😅) Lastly thanks to @xtremecscwaterford for providing a class facility to train in. Getting in Calibrated plates a few weeks out from this definitely made a difference.

Silent Worker x IrishPF April Open 🎀 Squat: 230kg (7.5kg PB) Bench: 145kg Deadlift: 267.5kg (10kg PB) Total: 642.5kg (30kg PB) 🥈 2nd place Exactly one year since my last competition, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thank you to @shaneemcgarry and @cremedel_lacreme for handling me and making the perfect calls. The support in the crowd and the warmup room was unmatched and I can’t thank everyone who showed up to support enough. @tjpainfree came to the rescue with rehab for my pec when I hurt it a few weeks ago. Very happy to have been able to get within 5kg of my best given the circumstances. @mcgarrybarbell was the perfect environment to prep for this one and all of my training partners pushed me towards this big PB. Really proud of what I’ve been able to achieve in this past year. All down to having an amazing support system. Open Nats QT hit but more work to be done. Onto the next one.

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ What a year it was for @neartstrengthsystems This year saw a big uptake in international performances from team, with 12 showings compared to 2 last year. We had representation at every Junior, Uni and Bench international this year! I also had the honour of coaching at University Euros and University Worlds 🌎 Neart stacked up well at Junior Nationals this year and pushed some of the bigger clubs for the first time. Hoping to keep improving and building a team that will podium in the next year or two. To all of my athletes, who continue to show up each and every session, thank you for your hard work this year! Plans are in place to take things to the next level in 2026 and I couldn’t be more excited to make it happen.
