Huge congratulations and thank you to all the lifters, judges, spotters, volunteers, and supporters who made the day possible. ❤️

🏋️‍♂️ Meet Alex! 🥇
Alex is a proud YMCA member who has been putting in the work at the Y for the past three years—and now, all that dedication is paying off in a BIG way!

On September 19, Alex competed in Powerlifting United’s Judgement Day, taking on three powerhouse lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. He put together an incredible 1,111-pound total and earned 🥇 GOLD in his weight class!
But the numbers only tell part of the story. 💪

Listen as Alex shares his journey into powerlifting, how the YMCA has been part of his training, and what it means to see years of hard work come together on competition day.

We’re so proud to have Alex as part of our YMCA community! Keep lifting, keep pushing, and keep inspiring. 🙌

Congratulations, Alex! 🏆💪
