**Competition Recap: Maya Avendeño**

Our lovely Maya! What can we say that hasn't been said before? She is phenomenal!

Returning from New York on Friday night, not trained all week, lost a lot of body weight, and she still managed to stay awake and lift 😂.

We took it easier at this competition, just to enjoy the vibes and gain more experience, and she performed with such grace.

With a 47/71 lift, we think she did fantastic, especially being jetlagged and not having much time to prepare.

Always fun supporting Maya on the platform with her YOLO attitude and smiles.

Hope the next build-up is even better 😉

Well done, Maya! 🏋🏻‍♀️

**Competition Recap: Jonny Wong**

Jonny was on fire during today's warm-up! Hitting some incredible sn**ches! So we were definitely confident of a good result today.

Based on the last competition's numbers, we aimed to secure a bigger total, and he didn't disappoint. Missed his second attempt in the sn**ch, but that didn't bother him at all, and he still went for his third attempt, catching it with ease.

However, the lift he most wanted to improve was his clean and jerk. Each attempt got better and better. Even though his second lift was meant to be 96kg and they put on 98kg on the bar, he still made it, and then we aimed for the 💯! And just like that, he lifted it as if it was nothing. So much improvement from the last competition and a lot more confidence.

Amazing work, Jonny! 🏋🏻‍♂️

**Competition Recap: Megan Wray**

Meg has performed exceptionally well in the run-up to the competition. She has become more consistent with the heavier weights and has not allowed herself to get in her head when misses occur.

Despite a terrible 5am early start today for the competition, she stepped onto the platform and crushed her openers! She missed her second attempt on the sn**ch, but this time it didn't faze her, and she caught it perfectly on her last try!

Her clean and jerks went really well too. We even pushed the boat out a bit and aimed for a 70kg personal best, getting under it, but just didn't have the energy to power out of it.

We can see that 70kg is within reach, and we are looking forward to hitting that in the next competition.

Well done, Meg. You're an absolute TANK!

Well done, Meg 🏋🏻‍♀️

**Competition Recap: Maya Avendano**

What a fantastic performance from Maya in this competition. With Maya's new career commitments, she has found it very challenging to train, but despite that, with the competition vibes energising her, she smashed her numbers.

Once she hit that first clean and jerk, she knew she had secured a total and left the rest to the coach. Naturally, we aimed for a new PB of 80kg C&J as all the other lifts appeared easy.

Well done, Maya. Keep up the amazing work.

**Competition Recap: Megan Wray**

Meg is now a seasoned athlete and knows what to expect on the platform. This time around, she significantly improved her performance.

She increased her numbers from the last competition by 3kg in her sn**ch and 1kg in her clean and jerk. This is a fantastic achievement. We are very proud of her and her dedication to her training!

Well done, Meg 🏋🏻‍♀️

**Competition Recap: Thomas Wyles**

Tom performed brilliantly. We didn't expect anything less from our very own friendly giant.

Tom improved his competition numbers massively from 95/127 to 110/137.

All his hard work has paid off and we are very proud of him! We look forward to seeing some massive numbers on the board in the future from this unit of a man.

**Competition Recap: Jonny Wong**

A fantastic start to Jonny's weightlifting competition journey! It was his first time on the platform and he secured 🥇 in his weight/age category.

Having trained with us for a couple of years, Jonny has been unable to compete until now due to injuries. We are extremely proud of him and are excited to see him surpass 100kg in clean and jerk at his next competition.
