💥 UBU Expo Recap w/ orologiolove 💥 

“It was both soul crushing and extraordinary 🙌🏼
A little behind the scenes and lifting for ya 😉

Although I bombed my squats, I decided to finish the meet even though my numbers wouldn’t count. I could blame any number of factors that came into play but ultimately I had to take the L. I had my cry baby moment for about 5 minutes and then I made a decision (with the help of some incredible people) to finish and just have fun with my lifts and cheer on everyone else still in the game. I’m comfortable losing and you should be too. You’ll lose more than you win in this life but I’m not used to failing and that’s why I’ll be focused on the solution not the problem. 
I crushed my bench and my dead’s and honestly that’s what I focused on this prep and thankfully I stayed and finished strong! I got to experience some of the coolest moments yesterday because I decided to stay in the present rather than focus on what and who to blame for my failure. 

Bombed squats
3/3 on bench with a PR 126 lbs
3/3 on dead’s with my 3rd at 264.5 lbs
I learned a valuable lesson early on about respect from cknight.ar and ironblood_diablo to shake the judges and spotters hands, they work hard to help make the meet happen.
We all worked our asses off and fought for every victory yesterday. We had a party on the platform and won together. Congratulations to everyone that competed yesterday, you all inspire me with your strength and determination 🤍
I brag about my coaches/teammates but guess what, Ima do it again ironblood_diablo porkythor vlapfitness aleksloncarr are all such solid and incredibly talented people to have in your corner 🔥

Some of you know, I shouldn’t be walking, let alone powerlifting, I’m simply grateful to be strong and do what we love to do 🤍”
