As this was my first powerlifting competition, the entire experience was new to me, which made the outcome even more meaningful. Reaching that goal required weeks and months of consistent training, disciplined nutrition, and preparation. I’m glad and grateful to see that the work I put in translated into a result I can be proud of.”
He added that competing against a strong field of domestic and international athletes was a rewarding experience that motivates him for future events.
