Peter Wylie

My name is Peter Wylie I am a M1 74kg lifter from Paris Ontario Canada. I started lifting with the powerlifting group at Ultimate Fitness Gym in Renfrew and Arnprior Ontario in 2018. I quickly became addicted to the sport after competing in my first competition within a year of starting at their local meet.  I followed up that meet by competing and winning my first Ontario Provincials in 2018, a title which I continue to defend. I hold the squat (210kg), deadlift (267.5kg) and total (600kg) records in Ontario and ranked 1st nationally and 7th worldwide in 2022. My best and favorite lift is deadlift with a personal best of 267.5kg in competition. I was excited to compete in my first Canadian Nationals competition in 2023 and finished 2nd. I look forward to continuing my training towards future goals such as qualifying and attending worlds and NAPF events.  I continue to train under the guidance of Luke Homer of Ultimate Fitness Gym, while training out of my home gym in Paris, Ontario.

Best lift:
Bench is my bench favourite lift - it is the only lift u stare at death directly in its eyes.
My most favorite lifter in the sport is Eddie Berglund of Sweden. My most inspirational are pretty much all the master lifters. Being able to continue at a later age always motivates me to keep going.  And as always a big thanks to my good friend and co-worker Matthew Griffin for getting me out of the office to hit the gym and push me into competing.
