005 Beyond the Platform - Siennah Pukeroa intro to Powerlifting

Oh, [ __ ] do it again, do it again, do it again. No, what do I say? Welcome, welcome. Uh, we are back. This is our fifth, fifth, yeah, fifth episode of Beyond the Platform. That camera, by the way. So today we have our special guest. We have our SI here. We are also trolling our new layout if you guys like it. So yeah, what are we going to be talking about today? So obviously we got C on and um, she is fairly new into the PAL scene, but I think a few of the people know her already just from her last film. But yeah, we’re just going to get an idea of like how it’s been and what she’s going to look at moving forward. 'Cause how long have you been palting? Almost a year now. Almost a year. A year, yeah. I didn’t realize. Yeah, last November. Yeah, so first stream ping and she’s made some pretty huge strides already, so we’ll see how we go. Um, yeah. If you didn’t know as well, this is Tommy. I’m Tony. This is Sienna and that’s David. Hi. Yeah, it’s also really hot. I’m sweating. Yeah, it’s really hot in here. Oh, I didn’t realize I was on. Yeah, yeah. Um, so let’s get straight into it. You want to ask the first question, David? Um, so Sienna, what’s your current experience a year into powerlifting as a high school student? But that sounds was my so it’s like what the hell just happened NPC moment. Um, it can be pretty challenging at times, especially in the lead-up to comp, having to juggle study and gym. But overall, it’s not too bad once you, once I got into like a good routine with the gym in school, I found it fairly easy to manage everything. Are you doing well in school? Why are you laughing? It’s a question. It’s a question. Yeah, I’m doing right. All right, doing pretty good. The grain s what year youing? You 10? Yeah, you got two more years. Still really old. I thought you were year 11. That’s actually crazy. She’s younger than Johnny. Um, what’s the like the most challenging in terms of school? Is it like studying? Is it trying to find and like after school, like having to get the energy off school? Or is it like studying or probably to find time for studying for exam fa? So you enjoy pal more than studying? Oh, definitely. He doesn’t. What do you mean, Tony? Tony doesn’t. I just do numbers really. Yeah, he just does numbers. I don’t do numbers. You can be like sister in playing soku. How do you juggle like what’s your what’s the routine? Is the um usually I wake up early in the morning so I can do my first workout, get my steps in before school and then go to school for like six hours and then come home and then have to train which probably takes like 3 hours but it shouldn’t but it does anyway. I have to refrain from. I remember I can’t say anything. There was a period where I think it took you like 3 hours to deadlift 'cause you were just talking to people. She’s making friends. 'Cause I think we started, we started Deft at like the same time and then I finished and then I went to bench and I finished bench and then I finished my accessories and Si was still deadlifting. I don’t know how accurate that is. Yeah. And then finish training, go home, finish my steps and try to fit time for study. And what time is that already? But the time I get home is probably like 7:00. That’s not too bad. Something not too bad. Yeah, 7 considering if you look at how we are today, like we stay back for a very long time. Yeah, yeah, like right now I’ve been here for nearly. Yeah, we started this a lot later than we were supposed to. Yeah, I didn’t even realize. I think I’ve been here for like 6 hours now. Yeah, you even longer. You got here like two. He got here first. 8 hours. Los my [ __ ] mind. That’s not too bad. Like as a uni student, you’ll probably experience the same thing. So hey, going to uni? Do you plan to go to uni? Hopefully, hopefully. Hopefully. Do you have any idea what you’re studying on the law? Oh, wow. So if I turn criminal, you can bail me out. Sure. All right, this got law. She’s get into criminal. Oh yeah, criminal. You go. Yeah, see criminal law. So you have to, you have to actually try hard at school. Yeah, maybe 'cause that one isn’t, that one a bit harder. Yeah, just still early anyway. You just try hard on your 12. Yeah. Do you see a potential career in powerlifting or in the fitness industry? Can you hear me? First for bullying you, bro. See, he thinks you don’t have a career in here. Can you hear me? All I, this David, this is what I’m. Okay, that’s what um, do you find a potential career or maybe like a side hustle in the powerlifting career or like w? So it’s just a side thing for you. David, this is Sienna. If you watch the first episode, this guy only does it for content. Anyways, this is about Sienna, so let’s tick it to Sien. So um, yeah, I feel like from how much I’ve progressed in the year, I feel like I definitely want to pursue it in the future and I kind of do want to find a career out of it. Feel that’d be really cool 'cause I’m also really enjoying powerlifting more than I am studying for some point. Um, but yeah, Mama Sienna won’t be happy to hear that. Make sure she doesn’t watch it. The next question leading up to it is how does your parents feel about it? Honestly, they’ve been really supportive of the whole thing. That’s good. Um, our parents, when I told them I wanted to do powerlifting, I think my dad found this gym. Like he was the one who was going and looking for powerlifting gyms and I found Tony and then from there, like they’ve been so supportive, especially like comp prep and stuff. It was crazy. Like, um, if anyone was there at her first comp, like wow, she probably had like the loudest crowd. It’s like it was the most energy. Yeah, very like, like whenever she walked out, it was just like 20 people. Like it was just her family. When you ask one person to come, they ask someone else and then it gets to the whole family. It’s like half my family was there. I’ve never had that many people come to here. Really? Yeah, we have two people, maybe two people and they’re always on their phone. Was they like love? I was sorry. I had to say, I have to say I was just waiting for it. What the [ __ ] was it? Yeah, but it’s like it’s also like reminiscent of like Nat bus at nuts. Oh yeah. Oh my God, that was like your energy was like cannot UNP Park. I’m not going to. But I mean for a local comp and your first comp ever, it’s crazy. Yeah, like your support group is insane. Like they’re so, they were so chill with like you going on board with everything. I was like, oh, was do my first call? Like okay, sick, what do you need? Yeah, 'cause like I needed equipment and I went to buy. Was your Christmas present? No, I took a day off school to go get my equipment. [ __ ] itz stud strength only open till Monday to Friday, right? And I needed the equipment, so I’m like, can I have a day off? And they’re like sure. So he spent a whole day getting equipment. So prob they be fine with you just doing gym stuff forever. 100%. I’ve really talked to out of school. Yeah. Oh, if you want to drop out of school, you talk to Vince. It. You catch that on the first episode? First episode. Yeah, like um, your next comp is in nine weeks now. I think eight, eight sh. What comp is it? SPD C, the St train comp, that one. Yeah, yeah. How do you feel going into that one versus your first one? I think I’m more excited than nervous. I was definitely very nervous. It was my first comp, but now I’m really excited for it. I don’t know, can’t wait to go back on the platform. That’s good. Very excited. That’s good energy. That’s good. Um, what would be the difference in terms of novice and this one? Like what the first one wasn’t a novice. It was a St. It wasn’t. Yeah, better than you and like 12 years younger than you. Yeah. How do you feel that? How do you feel going into your first comp? I was very, actually I wasn’t nervous leading up to it, but the day of, like that’s when all my nerves came from. That’s when all my nerves came. But like leading up to it, I was more excited, but then the day I just like all that excitement went out of the window and I was just really nervous until my first squat. And then after my first squat, I was fine. Yeah, like you say, yeah, it’s like after the first squat you’re good. Yeah, yeah, sometimes, sometimes. Yeah, like when you started pal.

you yeah how' you feel that how' you feel going into your first comp I was very actually I wasn't nervous leading up to to it but the day off like that's when all my nerv came from that's when all my nerves came but

like leading up to it I was more excited but then the day I just like all that excitement went out of the window and I was just really nervous until my first Squat and then after my first squat I

was fine yeah like you say yeah it's like after the first qu you're good yeah yeah sometimes sometimes yeah like when you started palting in general was like um like what did you think of paling before you even

came to this gym like was it something that you knew you were instantly going to have an interest in oh yeah true you're still so young it's like so like I like people have hobbies but it's like I don't think I've ever invested

into Hobbies when I first get into stuff it's just like I want to try it out and see what happens but like how are you thinking about it cuz I remember what you said the first day you came to me

would you want to re reenact that what happened the first day I don't remember how yeah I don't know I didn't expect it to go as far as it has I I don't know went to the gym to have fun yeah just to with my

family and then started lifting weights and they just got like they started lifting more found it really fun and then I found this gym and I found Tony and then I don't know when I started like started here and with a new coach

like things just started progressing really well and I had my first comp and now it's just like something I really enjoy and want to keep doing I remember your first day here your first day here for anyone that doesn't know she was

like I'm going to go to Worlds I your mom your mom said that yeah I was like first thing I was like she's really strong she's going to go to Worlds I was like okay then and I was like I think

initially I was like I'm not sure what that means cuz a lot of people say they're going to get Awards and then she told me what your numbers were and I was like oh [ __ ] and then we had like a few

sessions together like we like two sessions a week for the first month or so and I was like holy [ __ ] she's strong and she's a good yeah so it's crazy cuz even now it's like I thought you were really strong

when you started and now you just continually getting stronger and stronger and it doesn't look like it's slowing down at all I feel like even going to comp like we talked about it a few times of like what we want to hit at

comp but I feel like we might surpass that by quite a lot just by accident too so it'll be very interesting to see what happens when you get older too yeah very excited David why can't you do that I'm old

anyway how you what's the comparison your experience in powerlifting and regular gym what's your like the community um yeah just everything like what's your experience between the two I'd say when I started just going to the gym for fun and it being a

commercial gym like if you if you forgot your headphones it was like kind of depressing the whole workout yeah it's like it's so quiet and no one talks no one like speaks it's just like dead silence you're just lifting in silence

but then as soon as I came here like you can barely here here like there's like and there's like such a supportive Community as well like I remember like going into the gym when I first started just lifting like I was so nervous and

like the people like no one talks like here like you felt welcomed and like so supported as soon as you started lifting which I think is really cool and then like I wasn't nervous at all I was just

like really excited to come back that's why your sessions take 3 hours or longer yeah it's it's l more scary for you cuz you're still in high school you're coming in it's like everyone's a lot older every's already established their

friendship and then it's kind of like like there's no other high school kid for you to kind of relate so Winston oh she came before Winston didn't she yeah she came before both before you yeah she did did I I don't remember I actually

well I didn't realize it was a year yeah I didn't realize It's Kind crazy I was about to say like 6 months I didn't realize it had already been a year it's been like n months yeah November will be

yeah oh yeah like 10 n 10th whatever the Mets is we dropped out so we dropped out I don't know you about I just know you're counting by plates almost a year almost year leave like that and the first day

coming into this gym were you nervous about meeting the new people or was it just instant I feel like I was nervous cuz I didn't know what to expect here but then like as soon as I started talking to

everyone like it was just like the nose went away like everyone was so nice you know easy to make conversation with and just like really nice people so it was pretty [Music] good hey Tommy's too famous wait why I actually might needed

to pick this up I'll be right back man's in trouble do you have a do you have a top three of favorite people in the gym can't do that yes you can your favorite car ble it out we bleep it

that when I first started no one knew cuz I didn't post anything I didn't tell people and then as I started posting more and I went public on Instagram I guess more people from my gr found out don't know if I like it all right oh

they was was what was their reaction I wish I could be like yeah I don't know everyone was like kind of impressed kind of kind of what do you mean kind of all of us here are shocked by the excuse me tell

them whoever that is I can't say anything that honestly went in a different direction than I thought everyone was like really supportive about it and they started bullying each other cuz they much you get the comments of like oh I bet

you can lift that cuz you know you go to the D and people found out my numbers I know and people found out my numbers and they're like oh I can't LIF this it's too heavy can you lift for me that's

she's just going at it now Tommy Tommy told her how to [ __ ] talk no I didn't no I didn't no I did I told her how to stand up for herself yeah did it work sure yeah yeah

um feel like it's pretty cool and like some people don't realize how much I live so like whenever I told them they're like they don't really believe it they just think I'm did you realize how much you lifted when you

started yeah that's crazy like you were cuz you deadlifted 190 and you sorted 160 when you started that's crazy yeah and you didn't even realize that was strong that's even more than Rick cuz I remember yeah I remember the first few

times you came oh up Ricky going to come in the camera oh he's coming wait wait for him wait for him we have a little Cameo here for you guys I Ben her oh my God this is wait no what's his bench your benches

are equal not for both bench the RH restarts Dam maybe I should like stop me another special Cameo sis if you want come in come in look into this camera he's actually Ben Ben's brother brother so being in school obviously

yeah how do you kind of manage it while training as well like do you ever feel stressed or like tied going into a training session um sometimes a bit like it can get a bit tiring yeah I guess like when I don't have exams it's

not too bad I have to study yeah obviously but leading into exams definitely stressful I don't know how did you deal with it like especially during exams cuz there could be some like kid out here powerlifting that also need some help

Johnny yeah Johnny literally yeah you know this is for Johnny dedicated to Johnny you know you can help him out um I stop talking [Laughter] [ __ ] I don't know I guess just like at school when it's like closer to exams I

start paying attention more it's right being honest being honest yeah only one it's important yeah yeah I mean you 10 yeah I was we I don't know I think once you go to 12 that's where it's 11 12

that's when he starts 12 yeah that's when you start looking in cuz a little Gap period in the turn four where you go to your 12 enjoy P lifting while you can no what do you mean if you want get to

law she's always going to enjoy it you know just because she's not you why is this guy roasting this episode bro I don't know I was I was he beforehand yeah hungry so like made it David calm calm down

David St doing with these so robbing that [ __ ] um I feel like I've already talked to my school about it and I think they know that I'm already putting power lifting above everything cuz like I talk

to them about it Sur if you go to like naon state or naon worlds you can get like some extra some bonus points for represen representing Australia I did that so basically go to you advis yeah go to a

year advisor and let's say you go do like a State national probably NS State I don't think they really care but when you do like a net level yeah we don't have a States anyways but yeah when when

you go Nationals not even if when you go Nationals just let them know and then they give you like extra points early entry as well cuz I got early entry into my course because of they understand it takes time away from stud

yeah free ride into law yeah okay Free Ride damn yeah you don't know maybe you can have your like your pluck on your um what did you say David pluck pluck ah shut the [ __ ] up froze your face bro

exposed you see that guys he's eaten I treated him like 5 20 minutes 20 minutes ago so she just shove my elbow up his ass anyways who anyways yeah see s has keep it PG keep it PG man I was going to say something I

forgot Tommy keeps distracting us huh I'm sorry that you just get heated too easily man what were your thoughts when I came to you and said I want to start pting do it again say it again start what were your thoughts when

I came to you and said I wanted to do power lifting and take a to well I mean initially it was just like I was at I think I was at a point where I was just taking on as many clients as I could so

it was like oh it's a new client and there was an interest in power thing so I was already like somewhat intrigued because I like it's teaching the newer generation to get into pality more is very um fulfilling and then when

we when we had our first session and we were looking at your list it was just like you could already see the potential that was there and then you're actually like a it's very unique with you too because you're very easy to teach

autonomous like yeah you're like one of the one of the most autonomous lifters that I have one of yeah one of one of could never be Tommy it's very surprising it's very hard it's very rare to find in like young lifters because

young lifters just do whatever the [ __ ] they want and they won't listen to you but you're like that sounded so specific it's like you're talking it towards somebody yeah but but yeah you you were you've always

been easy to teach and like you're because you're so interested in getting as far as you can especially with like during the worlds like that's already an insane like thing to say as a kid and it shows with how you train as well because

like even giving you like little cues here and there you're like oh try fixing this with your deadlift and it's like okay I'll do it and then it's like you fix itra straight away and that's very rare to see in lifters especially like

um especially newer lifters as well cuz a lot of people don't understand it but you'll fix it instantly and it's been so easy to coach you and all I'm really doing is just writing your program because you're you're very you

talk to a lot of the others like you talk to Ben quite a lot yeah and you've spoken to Beth quite a lot as well yeah yeah and you learn off of them too and um those are things that like I try to

get people to do more even if they're my lifters like go talk to other people and see what you can learn and if they're able to learn at an early stage it makes their training a lot easier cuz then

they're not just listening to me they're listening to everyone else that they talk to and they take on like advice or just like little technique cues here and there and it just makes their lifting just keep going and I don't think I've

ever had a point where I was unsure of what to do because it's just been so easy to coach you yeah so that's been it's been a fun process so far it's only been not even a year yet and so we'll

just see what happens in the next few comps this next comp will very interesting yeah like Afters 100 at NS and then you'll be beating all of us here yeah all of us here who who else has got 100 in this in

this Simon that's it it's only Simon Simon Just Simon Jesse got 99 is enjoying life right now we also TR in the morning so we we see Beth we see we see Beth like once a month yeah what

we Saturday barely like once a month early morning person yeah and we are definitely not we're doing this podcast at 1030 PM God damn that was loud we are back we had interruptions Ricky accidentally dropped the cameras and like we have to

restart it pretty [ __ ] I don't know why he did that but it is what it is um so where were we don't look at me I don't remember I don't remember yeah we're talking about C coaching C SI as a LIF Oh's a lifter

yeah have you oh say it say it say it have you have you thought about other coaches whoa on the podcast I'm just curious I'm just curious oh better question how's your experience with Tony so far damn that's a really good question and then

your other coaches joking just Tony first just Tony you can be honest Hest pretend pretend I'm not here if you be honest tomm Tommy oh yeah I think Tommy's pretty hon I can tell what Tony thinks most of the time

most this take it easy first what's your experience with Tony so far honestly been really good okay let's start with first impression and then how has he adapted to your style and how how he kind of know um work with worked with

you damn I feel like it's a very it's very similar to how me and sta I feel like like we don't we talk here and there but we don't talk a huge amount yeah I don't know first impressions were

like did you think it was going to be good when you walked into the gym and you saw that we bed a session you saw him like saw asan right there were you excited or were you like process it's free so like I'll take

it for free what you told me what I told you this [ __ ] you're supposed to not do it on me supposed to be like you know God damn it sorry we back yeah first impressions of me as a

coach why are you scared I scared shut up um I don't know I was very excited and Keen to see cuz I never met Tony before this is like the first time so I was excited to see I don't know

whether I knew what I was doing or [Laughter] not okay how about this um you got advice you guys ask me that question about you you guys no that's episode one anyway okay okay let's let's let's change it up you've got advice from both

Tony Beth and Ben um what are differences on how they kind of teach you well that's the whole thing yeah that's all that's um I don't even know where to start who no like David is trying to break up no not

a positive way like like you know David's a spy trying to start your team just to break each coach has their own style to technique or the way they teach you or like their perspective of things like what you

found out about each person Ben's more straightforward Ben's very technical that's one yeah I feel like it's always Tony like I think I am yeah shut up you're told [ __ ] about me earlier baby I was how do I say

this I feel like they're not too different from each other to be honest like oh really oh no me and Ben yeah oh interesting I wasn't expecting that like I lost Tony something I L Tony for help and he'll like I know he'll break it

down until but Ben like I feel like they're sort of really similar well I mean I feel like me and Ben have a similar philosophy behind uh pal like pal and coaching in general it's like we um obviously we're trying to get

people stronger but we're also trying to teach lifters to be able to lift on their own I think I think Ben spoke to you about it once too but it's like understanding rpes and used to ask me a

lot about oh what weight should I do yeah and it's like slowly pushing you to a point where you can figure out your own RPS and now you're at a point where it's like you didn't even ask anymore

but now now we're at a point where it's just like oh I think I'm going to go hundreds no go one or two but yeah it's things like that like me and Ben and I pretty sure Kelvin too

I haven't talked about with Kelvin much but it's like we it's the whole like building autonomy with lifters and all that like we want lifters to do well and we're going to guide them in that direction but we're also trying to teach

them as much as we can so that one they don't have to bother us as much and for two that they can like if one day they decide to leave they have the knowledge to be able to coach themselves too if

they really wanted to and that's the goal like if everyone's able to do that then everyone's just going to get stronger naturally and it helps you understand more like cuz especially with online coaching it's a lot harder to

explain sort of Concepts and if someone has learned a lot from other people then those Concepts become easier to understand as well yeah so I think that's what me and Ben tend to do quite a lot yeah sorry I just went off on a huge

tangent no that's good um so a you to give us Tony's first impression oh like it good I I was excited pulling something out bro yeah trying no I was I think I was really excited cuz I just wanted to start

powerlifting and like see what it was like and to be able to have someone bye Ricky he's mad at you sorry Ricky I told you don't say sorry I'll bench more than you no whoa um I was I was like excited to have

someone who I think could help me progress with powerlifting cuz like I've never had that before like no one like before I got I found Tony like I didn't know what I was doing like no one could help me like understand it so when I got

Tony like he was able to like he was really able to help me progress and find like a better passion for powerlifting and really hope through that very passionate woo the biggest thing that I get scared of to with like new lifters especially

like a lot of people say they want to go to Worlds and it's it's um trying to understand where that's coming from from the lifter is very important because but like there like I think a lot of there's

people that understand what it takes to have to do the work to get to world and there's people that don't and infinite recovery you still don't understand I do infin what was I say world how some of your clients are like

oral sorry sorry sorry this one this one is this one you can ignore this one I can ignore yeah I yeah um yeah like a lot of people say they want to get so it's like the it's the end goal for a

lot of people and it's like some people going to get there some people just like this straight up they're just not going to get there not because they're not strong but just because of it is what it is I'm never going to

go to war because they got s in my weight CL see that's where you go wrong you see yeah my not that good being real we have yeah it's it's trying to get it's trying to figure out where that's coming

from from the lifter but also trying to get the LIF to themselves to understand what is required and what I get scared about a lot is someone says they want to go to Worlds and I will treat them like

they want to go to ws and then they find out oh this is a lot harder than I thought it was and they don't want to do it anymore I know you talk about it and um once we figured that part out

it's trying to get him into a spot where they understand what they need to do but also still enjoy the process I think that's the important thing that's why I haven't gone at you for spending 3 hours because you're still young and I still

want you to enjoy the sport better now yeah how what the [ __ ] did I get to off back then though because you really wanted to go you really wanted to progress so of course I'm going to go at

you yeah um yeah the biggest this the thing that I'm scared about most is pushing someone in a direction that they told me they wanted to but not realizing that they didn't understand what to Prov and then they learn

to I guess despise pal like they not they don't enjoy as much anymore and when someone doesn't enjoy as much anymore then they find yeah they half they find it a lot harder to progress and they don't consider a priority as

much hav had a good job with that you enjoy pal right yeah you enjoy the G going to V next year what that matters yeah see what that matters 100 G votes 110 G is crazy you think I am Sienna Sienna

the JB J um let's say down the road you still doing pal like do you do you see yourself becoming a coach so I feel like that's definitely like a goal but like further down the track like I

definitely want to experien balls and that's before I become a coach obviously I just started so like I definitely need more experience [ __ ] imagine being coach by a 15y old um but yeah coach oh yeah definitely but definitely

like for like a few years yeah just watch her watch her in years when she goes into signs up for sport SCI hey Mom I want to quit being a lawyer okay but we have talked to your dad

about this when I was training and then he seemed pretty supportive about that idea yeah I feel like cuz I have talked to him about it like not now definitely later on um definitely wa to After High School to

maybe do something of course yeah but I have told them that's something I want to do and they was so supportive my life God damn oh yeah our parents are like compl opposite yeah I just sit down and talk

to my parents about dropping out of un and I think my mom didn't talk to me for like two days yeah my dad was okay with it but it wasn't happy that's that's the part I'm very thankful for cuz like even like going

into powerlifting and then like realizing how much of a commitment it would be they were like they were like happy to do whatever whatever needed to be done as long as I put in the work like as long as I showed them that like

I'm committed to this and like I actually care about it they were happy to like oh shout out Si's parents but shout out 30 person family yeah now they're just all waiting for another comp to happen like soon 8

weeks soon but even then you can always um you know juggle being a lawyer and have Co it's can always be a hobby side is pretty hey yeah that you're asking for a lot hey get that money if there was like 27

hour day fair enough but it's not 27 hours in a day rocks up rocks up to court in a SVD suit meeting a journ withd so when you're when your family came you first C do you reckon like

obviously everyone knows that they super supportive but do you reckon that made you more nervous or more excited oh go or embarrassed I had the conversation before my competition that my mom cannot stand in my eyesight cuz if I look at

her I will start laughing oh that's what she said so she was always on the side yeah and then when I was like doing the comp you know he didn't tell me what numbers I was lifting yeah my I saw my

dad before I went on like before I was like walking on to the platform he was trying to like sign the numbers seeing could tell me what I'm missing if I didn't know and I kep you could have

just looked at the TV I know but I I kept looking away from him I didn't want to see a movie but like I just didn't want to know that I'm this so I couldn't look at my dad couldn't look at my mom

so I just like away from all my whole family and it was great like it was good to have them there but like to be honest when I went out on the platform like I think I was too zoned in cuz I couldn't

hear anything yeah like all I heard were like the judges like giving commands the screaming that like everything that people were saying they heard I didn't hear like I was I don't know I didn't hear anything I was like so out of it I

don't know and you I mean you you met you met almost everyone that train at this gym as well did you meet anyone at other PS and all that um I think you met one person I did James's had what's her

name name I think it was a do you um what the hell's her name m oh the other sub junior junior oh yeah when I when I got to the com she was s by herself you going to get James off you

you're going to get the worst of worst you're about to get the devil upon you we're going to cut that out we cutting it out wait wait now all right so we had another break cuz our sisin accidentally dropped

the camera down so like okay we're back yes see why yeah yeah she was great she started talking I don't know we started talking about like how we got into powerlifting and like you talk my numbers and stuff I don't know and she

that was good but then like during the home I didn't really talk to her much cuz yeah yeah wor about everything else but then there was this other girl what I I think it was a do the one I to have

a photo that one yeah cuz like I like I saw her at first she like I was a bit intimidated on like you talk to her for like a few minutes after the yeah no I was like a bit intimidated at first and

then after the comp she comes up to me she's like I don't know she started going on like a whole Rampage about how much I LIF it and and then after that um I know she also a photo with me so like that's a

friend I made out of it that that cult you became famous even in the war it was crazy like you and like there's two old guys they like two really old guys competing no no no no they actually

[Applause] oh I remember D are coming back today himself on his podcast we episode they were funny cuz like they just kept making jokes the whole time they're like oh cracks my neck it's going to crap in this way I kep pulling

out did you realize every single lift you walk out of like everybody in the warm-up room was just like like a pack of s just just walking try to look everybody even even like during warmups like I remember like Raz was watching

very Clos yeah Raz was just like yeah like a lot of Ls were just watching you I think you notic to be honest I was too out for that like I was just focused on like you're famous going out doing

the lift going back into the warmup room and then doing it again I didn't really focus on anything else and even even with that you made such an impact on like the community I didn't expect to get that much out of my first call you

got so many likes and comments on your post it's crazy's jealous he got jealous that BOS is the first person to come on your post yeah I don't think that BOS follows me that's recently very much no she she followed me recently

though I she followed me because of you yeah she she follows me as well I have know IDE she is oh oh now he's really going to get cancelled no definitely yeah definitely surprised me how much I got out of that

I'm like oh damn proud see what happened is cuz like seeing you talk to everyone as well like it's I don't know it's so awesome it was definitely fun make some new friends is that what you expected like a pal competition to

feel like just seeing everything that are did you think it was going to be like more serious quiet I yeah I thought like no one would talk to not that they would to talk to each other but I feel

like everyone would be like so locked in like they wouldn't want to like talk to you and like everyone was just like you know doing their own thing but even during warm-ups like everyone's just talking like yeah everyone just killing

like you see James warmups what happened um oh Jame yeah James JY WS is a different breed yeah it's like it's CRA you don't even think he's training like he's like you don't even look like he's dead he said have

fun yeah but I know it was a little fun like every after every lift a new person came up to me so then I was just talking to new people every time I'm like all right sweet and then

I don't know afterwards like after the C finished like these random not random but like these girls from the comp just came up to me and then like one whole tangent about powerlifting and I don't know and then like one of the I don't

know were they like judges or something from the com then they started talking I don't know it just it's pass my expectations I don't think I've never talk to that many people they AR that many people so it'll be interesting to

see like this next called uh I don't know if anyone else's knows that you're competing yet but a lot of people here are very excited to I'm excited I'm excited for like to see how much progress we'll make from the first cu

the first com was still this year yeah yeah it was May May 4th yeah so that's a very short like period to see how much PR we make so like I you that's crazy May the four Alliance day did

just this is I don't think I can say that say something sh maybe he should take he doesn't holy [ __ ] just made a full thing with you no no I knew that like the May the fourth [ __ ] I

just K in my head that they that's why they call the light mus from the one that you used to watch when you were like 1987 St Wars oh no Star Wars nothing of Classics Star Wars classic classic f it is a

classic yeah also like the piano [ __ ] that's like the [ __ ] youed to listen [Laughter] to you know like somewhere in the 1770s that's wild anyways you know ice age do you have um numbers do you have numbers in mind for what you

want to hear for C do you want to keep a secret I keep a secret I better you can um they've changed they have changed yeah cuz I was talking I mentioned it to Tony once I think this was like last

month or something and then during last block of training but was went really well towards the end so like I sort of like up them a bit I say it say what are you s on here around 23

Squad um I think it started like 225 I think initially it was like 220 yeah I went 220 and now like I went 230 and then Ben was at like I think I said 110 for bench but then I hit that

last block so now I'm going to move up to 120 and Del I'll take whatever I can get probably like aiming for around like 210 250 somewhere around there SO2 I think it was like 91 I think yeah I think uh well the

first com the first P you SED 195 190 190 you bened 100 and you deadlifted you missed 200 for dead and you hit 190 oh remember yeah and we're probably going to open higher than all that for the

next but we'll see what happens training's going really well so far so I mean even this last yeah this last block you SED 202 for three and you SED 195 19 so that's already huge yeah so we'll see

what happens going into the we got one and a half blocks left so he'll be pretty crazy to see what happens yeah but I'm very excited in terms of training from first comp to just comp what have you

changed well as a cage youself how how what have you done to kind of like like like I said before like has been very autonomous and all I really need to do is write the pram and she's happy to do

it and um there hasn't really been anything to like the biggest thing that we've been working on is and it's just a positionally thing getting her she she struggles a little bit lockouts but that's been that's a thing that we've

been working on since we started and apart from that like programming wise it's been almost the same thing like we've been changing things here and there but in general we're pushing a lot heavier more like higher intensity more

often than we were before and like she's still young so she's able to recover for it and thankfully haven't had any issues since and we're just going to keep going till it stops working really how has a LIF the first comp now has like more

fatigue or is more intense or what's the difference I don't think I've ever had a day where I've asked you if you were tired or not you said yes youve never been tired in recovery she found it before me

she found the key before me I don't know I feel like is it just the same and he just getting stronger stronger stronger that's not much it I feel like if anything I have more energy now okay yeah I feel like cuz I'm I got more

drive now as well cuz like after the first comp went well like now just I really want to smash those numbers at um at my next comp yes so now it's go have more energy and drive to be better cuz

like I was like I was happy with I go to my first comp but I felt like I could do much better yeah so I think I have a little more energy now so I can like make up at

the next one um do you do you reckon how things should be more integrated into school activity School sports for the start I mean I'm kind of fine keeping it separated like she just wants to be the strongest Sheck she doesn't

want to find out if anyone's stronger I mean it's kind of boring sit there it's kind of boring it's like so and sh she swore swear okay I'm sorry sorry I'm going to get [ __ ] bullied I don't know I I I feel like if

they did like I wouldn't mind doing it it would be kind of cool but you just be in the school J for like the entire day you try to F oh I trade for that so I mean that would be the good thing about

it cuz then have more excuses to just like worry about school my told me I need to trade yeah I was like sorry can't do my work but yeah um I mean if it would be cool if it happened cuz like David can

write your note as well oh I SP my I can't write today I'm I'm going to go bench I think tell this my secret that was the good thing though when I went I went to have a checkup with David he

like do you want to know I'll take it well you're going to get contacted by the school she was injured I mean I was injured yeah there's proof so what proof the fake signature you put on there it's

a [Laughter] real oh yeah I finally fum been even once like that doesn't like affect it that you be okay F it's very good CL yeah but do you need to know she's just whipping out like stops you know so if you're currently at

school and you need a t sign up [Music] at yeah just do it when you work you might get five can I actually use you yeah I think this will be a pretty exciting period like this like these

next few years even like I like a lot of people are going to keep a close eye on you and just see where your numbers are going and where they're going to go I think that put a lot of pressure on me

too I'm kind of scared like if I if I [ __ ] up somewh do it you're going to be G if you coach to be I can like adding my bio coach turn your mate anything goes wrong

that's yeah but a lot of people will be keeping a first eye on you and it'll be really fun to see you progress like everyone here is excited just stop I feel like you have a chance to even become have sponsor

as I can talk you should just say recording St that's question how is wrap it up yeah ho [ __ ] see the mosquito what question you have what's your message to start do it do it okay what what's your advice or

any message for kids who high school kids that do want to start too scared to start what what will be ADV um let to say the wrong thing um wrong thing you don't worry about school [Applause] then top have to sh

up I know if you really like powerlifting and like just any hobby in general yeah if you like any hobby any sport whatever it may be and like if you feel like I know it's something you enjoy doing where you can

see like a future [Music] in prioritize as much as you would with study like do it for a bit see how it goes and if it starts going well maybe you know have a talk with your parents or you got to know um and if

it's something you want to continue doing I'd say not put it above study but find a way to incorporate in your R yeah make time for it yeah all we're going to use that for clickbait we going to put that on Tik
