Competed at the Asia Pacific Open in Shanghai China. This competition was held on the 23rd of August 2019 at the FIBO Global Fitness Expo.

This competition was less than 8 weeks after competing at the Australian Championships so I wasn't overly optimistic that I could back up the stellar day I had there.

It was extremely hot and humid in Shanghai. I had to cut ~4kg of bodyweight in the 24 hours leading up to weigh ins and the heat made it difficult to rehydrate and replenish what I'd lost.

Weighed in 76.90kg/169lb

Squat - 3/3 making 248kg/547lb, 5kg under my best

Bench - 3/3 making 135/297lb for 1kg competition PB

Deadlift - 1/3 making only my opener of 273kg/601lb. Went for the World Powerlifting Deadlift World Record of 296kg and failed twice.

Total was 659kg.

A huge thanks to Will Berkman, my coach, for everything he's done for me and helping me get to this point.

Thanks to Yichen and World Powerlifting China for hosting this awesome event.

To all the volunteers (refs, spotters/loaders, pack up and set up crew, tech table etc) that contributed their time and skills so that this day could run -- thank you.

Thanks to Rob Wilks for coaching me on the platform, Manjot and Yani for being the best flunkies ever and Manjot again for taking all the meet footage.

Big shoutout to City Strength for continuing to support me and my lifting. Please check them out at www.citystrength.com.au

More work to be done and I'm looking forward bringing a better version of this in 2020.
