210 kg deadlift @ 85,5 kg BW, 37 yo

210 kg deadlift @ 85,5 kg BW, 37 yo

After three years away from competing, I finally returned to the platform.

I've been vegan for 4.5 years and have been training for strength for about 5 years.

I competed at 85.5 kg (188.5 lb) bodyweight and pulled 210 kg (463 lb) in the deadlift, setting a new meet PR.

It might not be a huge number in the powerlifting world, but after an injury, getting older (I'm almost 37), and losing bodyweight over the last few years, this lift means a lot to me.

Just wanted to share this with the community. 🌱💚

Pasta bolognese with Soy TVP (Italian approved 🇮🇹)

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a dish I’m really attached to. It helped me lose weight whilst building muscle and strength (I’m a vegan powerlifter).

Pasta, soy TVP, tomato sauce, olive oil, basil, and a few spices.

One serving contains roughly 30g of protein and costs around €1.50.
