It’s not every day you get to meet one of the best powerlifters in the world, ! I couldn’t miss the chance to get an autograph, and I know who I am cheering for at Sheffield!
To top it off, I met “Team Longevity” member . He started even earlier than me and is still pushing the envelope. It makes me feel good to know I’m not alone in this sport as someone who just can’t let go of the barbell.
Amazing day! Thanks for visiting, guys! You’re welcome back anytime!

I was so focused on the Total that I didn’t check my Deadlift world standing.
Top 3 for 2025 and Top 10 All Time!
Not gonna lie, this does feel good, hehe. Longevity in the sport and World Class strength 💪

Quick VPF 2025 Nationals recap:
After a 2 year break, back on the Nationals stage.
Squat: 225kg. Bronze. 230kg called on depth. Worst was the fact that it wasn’t my true squat strength. Mid of 2025 I could easily squat 235. But then I developed GTPS and had to battle it ever since. Training basically couldn’t happen without painkillers. And even then at half the volume I needed. Shame but couldn’t be helped - one’s body can only take so much before breaking.
Benchpress: 162.5kg. Gold. +1.5kg meet pr. Attempted 166kg National record, but it wasn’t there. I simply can’t bench on that rack and the result is always lower than anything at home.
Deadlift: 301kg. Silver. Beat my previous National record of 300.5kg. Then had to pull 308.5kg to reclaim the record. But the barbell’s knurl (or baby powders residue from previous lifter) betrayed me last moment before the lockout. So salty about that! But hey, I know that my true deadlift is much higher than 301. So there’s that.
Total: 688.5 kg. Bronze. -0.5kg from my total two years ago. This meet I was the strongest I’ve ever been, excluding the squats. After 20+ years of competitive powerlifting, at the ripe age of 40, already a Masters lifter. I think I’m alright with this result.
Oh and I did set all the Masters records. Except the organizers are a bit confused but I’m sure they will sort it out.
Plans for the future? My baby boy who is due end of March! Nothing else matters.
