as someone just trying to get through the day, this stands out.. everyone's gonna dogpile the champion bit. It would be nice to see a version that is actually simple for people.
Good on him, love seeing young Māori excelling in sports other than rugby!
Awesome stuff! All the best for the world champs Tiaki 💪
Another powerlifting story? Seems like every second person is a 'champion' these days. Let's see how he goes internationally first.
yeah nah mate he's actually done well in nationals, give credit where it's due
so inspiring! i started lifting to get stronger for rugby too but never competed. respect to him for actually following through
Civil engineer and powerlifter? Dude must be shattered after work. How do you find the energy?
I'm tired after just a desk job lol
Bloody impressive numbers. Wonder what his squat is?
I reckon deadlift would be huge with that build
Love that he's representing Ngāi Tahu and Ngāti Kahu. Kia kaha bro!
bro! Exactly, representation matters
this is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly. uni me couldnt afford that headline
you can see why this gets traction with students and renters.. The long game matters more than a quick headline cycle.
