Writing this one hits differently… it feels like looking back on years of memories 💔
Powerlifting final boss 🫡
Back in June 2023, we sponsored a young lifter called Abdul Mojeed Sulayman, known to everyone as Mo. 🇬🇧
After 2.5 years representing Alpha, he’s now moving to Manchester, and we’re honestly devastated to lose him. 😞
Mo wasn’t just another athlete.
He was the foundation of this gym. 🧱
He chose Alpha before we even had any powerlifting kit, Mo choose us because of our Panatta equipment he could use for his accessories and from that moment we built the gym around helping him compete at the highest level. 🚀
He became our first major IPF athlete, sponsored by SBD and ESN, representing Team GB 🥇 🇬🇧 and Alpha on the world stage 🌎 with professionalism and pride. A true one-in-a-million lifter.
We watched him grow from a dominant u105kg Arnold’s winner 🏆 into an absolute monster in the u120kg class.
Mo’s best numbers
🏋️ 357.5kg squat
🛋️ 220kg bench
⚡️ 382.5kg deadlift
🔢 937.5kg total
Some of his best lifts at Alpha
🔥 350kg x2 squat
🔥 215kg bench
🔥 390kg deadlift
But beyond the numbers, it was the man that made Mo special. 🙏
Humble, consistent, professional, always helping others with zero ego and nothing but standards. 💯
Mo showed everyone in Alpha what it truly takes to reach the top. His work ethic is something you have to see to believe. 💯 🔥
There won’t be another Mo, but he’s left a blueprint, a standard, and a legacy inside these walls. 🏛️
Mo, we’re unbelievably proud of you and grateful for every session and every standard you set here. 🙌
Good luck with your next competition coming soon.
We hope you recover in time and show everyone exactly who you are. 💪⚡️
The perfect definition of a PowerBuilder 🦍
Once an Alpha, always an Alpha. 🐺 🇳🇬
