About 1019 Athletics

Hey, I’m Jack — the creator of 1019 Athletics and someone who’s spent lots of time in the gym, day after day. Lifting started as just a hobby for me, but over time it became a lifestyle. Like most people who’ve stuck with it, I’ve had to work through slow progress, setbacks, and doubts. But I’ve also hit milestones I never thought I’d reach.

That’s where Peaking Patches were born.

I wanted something physical to show how far I’ve come. Something simple, but powerful — to remind myself of the milestones I’ve earned. So I created patches that represent key strength goals in the three core lifts of powerlifting: squat, bench, and deadlift.

These patches are more than just accessories. They’re a symbol of your hard work, dedication, and the numbers you’ve earned. Stick them on your gym bag, weighted vest, or anywhere you want to rep your journey.

I named my brand 1019 Athletics because I didn’t want to limit the vision. This is just the beginning. While Peaking Patches are the first product, the bigger mission is to create and build a brand providing affordable quality gear and tools that help lifters stay motivated, proud, and connected to their progress — whether you're chasing your first 135 or crushing 500+.

Thanks for being here. If you’ve come a long way too, welcome to the community.

– Jack
