GPC NZ u125kg record

1st place overall

First 500lb raw bench by any lifter u125kg or u120kg in the current records across all Feds in NZ.

This was a lifetime goal of mine and I'm fucking proud of it haha. Biggest grind of my life, but I haven't trained as hard as I have just to let it beat me in the last couple Of inches
