Push Camp Pt. 2 – Germany Travels & Testing Week

“Run your own race.”
That’s something I’ve been telling myself a lot lately — a reminder to shut out the outside noise, stay in my lane, and trust the process. This journey isn’t always smooth or linear, but if you can focus on your growth, stay grounded, and still find moments to enjoy it… you’re already winning. 🤍

Part 2 of Push Camp picks up in Altenberg, where the intensity really stepped up. We had coaching sessions focused entirely on push technique — deep dives, reps, corrections, more reps. Day after day of showing up, tweaking the little things, and trying to stay locked in despite the fatigue building.

From there, we moved to Oberhof. No more hands-on coaching — it was all on us. A full week to put everything into action and prepare for testing. That shift challenged me in a different way: trusting what I’d learned, holding myself accountable, and staying mentally sharp.

On top of it all, I’ve been cutting weight these past few weeks — staying disciplined while still needing to train hard, recover, and keep improving. All of this is part of the bigger goal: to earn my spot and qualify for the Games. Every rep, every session, every choice counts.

In the middle of the chaos, I had a moment in Dresden to breathe. The churches, the history — something about that city made me pause and reflect. Even in the chase, it’s important to look around and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Thanks for being here. Let me know in the comments what part stood out to you, and if you’re following the journey — don’t forget to like and subscribe. More to come.
