I’ve been given the privilege of being invited to the @raw_powerlifting_federation Strict Curl Worlds in Ashland, Virginia this November 💪🌍. It’s such an honour to compete against some of the strongest in the world and to have the chance to go after another World Record, representing the @knoxpowercompany Strict Curl Team. To help me get there, I’m running a little raffle 🎟️ 🏆 The prize is a 1-Year Membership @platos_gym (worth $1075!) 💵 Tickets are $20 each 📅 Drawn Oct 31, 2025 or until 200 tickets sold. If you’re not in Tauranga, don’t worry – I’ll put together a prize pack I can send your way. Every ticket means the world to me, and helps make this trip possible ❤️ If you’d like to support, just PM/DM me or Plato’s Gym. Thank you so much for being part of this journey 🙏 #StrictCurl #Powerlifting #PlatosGym #Raffle #Worlds2025
