MEET RECAP!
This squad… this community… this FAMILY!!! Where do I even begin.
This picture is just a small amount of the
@ghostgymmiami fam that competed, worked, or came to support the meet yesterday. I’ve been powerlifting 10 years, I’ve ran over 10 meets, and I’ve attended a majority of the biggest meets in the sport over the last 5 years… yesterday took the cake for me man. This was my favorite meet EVER. The energy was electrifying. The excitement, the happiness and support was unlike anything. I’ve never had so many young kids on my platform and seeing the fire in their eyes and the excitement just hit this old man in his feels. I’m so grateful to be apart of this new generation and to put
@usapowerlifting_fl back on the map and give all these kids the best meets possible.
So many people to thank….
My spotters and loaders… it was most of these kids first time working the platform, and you would have never guessed. They moved like a well oiled machine… the fire in this new generation to be involved and support is amazing. 5 years ago I didn’t know what the future of powerlifting would be, and if it would fizzle out like CrossFit. Well..this new generation isn’t letting it go anywhere.
All of my judges…new and old…thank you so much. Amazing calls from start to finish.
Special thank you to my good friend
@mother_teresa_of_gains for flying in to help me ensure my first meet as a
@usapowerlifting meet director went without a hiccup. I wanted to ensure I represent the federation to the highest standard and David made sure that happened. Not to mention he’s the best MC in the game.
My wife
@laurenuslar for literally EVERYTHING.
All the Ghost Gym fam who helped set up and tear down. Didn’t complain once and were happy to stay and help after a long day without me even asking. If you know me, you know I hate asking for anything or any help.
Ghost gym….I love you all so much. What WE have all built together over the last 2 years is beyond special. You all have made it possible for me keep investing in this gym, and YOU all have made it a truly all inclusive place. No clics, no toxic bullshit. All good vibes and COMMUNITY.
Aight ima stop ranting now…LIFE IS GOOD
