Kevin competes, not just trains
The clearest captured signal is that Kevin actually competes. At a meet around November 2025 he placed 3rd, and Sunil Vittal posted it to the club's @topset Instagram before Kevin told anyone, Nicky He saw it there first. Powerlifting sits alongside Sympoh and bouldering as one of the physical-discipline threads in Kevin's life. The training numbers, programming, and coaching are still his to fill in.

Open questions for Kevin
- Numbers - Current SBD totals, the 3rd-place meet's lifts, training cycle, goals?
- Programming - What program are you running, who's coaching, who's your training partner?
- Origin - How did you get into powerlifting and the Princeton club?
- Identity - What does powerlifting give you that Dedalus, dance, or bouldering don't?
- Connection to building - Does the discipline of training carry into how you build, or stay separate?
