Hey, I'm Leandro. A very boring and straightforward person. There's nothing about me that would surprise you. but I do have interests and fun facts.
I compete in powerlifting..
Here is footage of my current best Bench Press, 342lbs. I have only done one competition but am coming up on another one on October 26th. I love lifting heavy weights, my life is centered around it. I played baseball growing up, but due to moving around, I often had periods where I couldn't play on a team or have my equipment. But I could always work out. Even if it was just with my body weight.
I attended four high schools over four years. But ultimately I ended up graduating from my least favorite of the four, Schuylkill Valley High School.
It was my least favorite for a multitude of reasons. But, truth be told, I only went to that school for 3 months so it didn't affect me much.
I love pets. Cats are cuddly and funny, while dogs are playful and aggressive with powerful, distinct personalities. Dogs are amazing, and I had a lovely canine friend named Sophia.
Sophia was really cute. This is a video of me purposefully putting peanut butter on the roof of her mouth for the first time. It was absolutely hilarious to me, I was laughing for minutes. I have plenty of great memories with her because she was very loving, cuddly, and well-behaved. She wasn't my dog but I took care of her. Her real owners made the decision to put her down this past weekend. So I lost one of my best friends. It's not a good feeling but she lived a good life and was a good girl. And she'll live forever in my heart.
Hey Leandro, I am so sorry to hear about Sophia being put down. My best friend's dog is also like my own and I know that would be the hardest thing in the world to have to experience. I noticed that you mentioned cats and dogs, do you have both or just like them?
ReplyDeleteI have cats as well. They're very cuddly but no where near as fun as dogs.
DeleteHi Leandro, sorry to hear about the passing of your dog Sophia. Happy that you get to hold onto great memories of her like that video. I am also invested in lifting weights and lifting heavy, however, I've never competed in powerlifting competitions.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of this blog is hearing your laughter as Sophia works at the peanut butter. I'm so sorry to hear about her passing. I hope you can find some doggie time with other pups.
ReplyDeleteHey Leandro, I hope powerlifting goes well for you 342lbs is IMPRESSIVE! Good luck with your competition this October. And I'm terribly sorry to hear about Sophia passing, I can't imagine the heartbreak of losing a friend like that. Dogs are such amazing companions; it hurts to lose them.
ReplyDeleteHello Leandro. Your bench max is very impressive. I too enjoy lifting and hope to be able to bench that much one day. I also thinks its very cool that you compete.
