As you may have already heard, I took part in the most epic powerlifting competition since powerlifting's heydays in the early 1980s. At the 504 Clash For Cash, my flight took the squat record for the 198s, tied the record in 181s, and broke the total records for 181 and 220. Dan Green took the total record at 220, Jesse Kellum broke Tony Fratto's 39 year old record in the squat, and I tied Bob McKee's 650 squat and broke his 1700 total with 1705. Shit just got real. I'll be posting videos later tonight of my third attempts in the squat, bench, and deadlift, but my attempts were:
Squat: 605,
Bench:
Deadlift: 605, 670,
Total: 1705
Apparently, many butts were hurt over my choice of tshirts, as I rocked a "Smile, Satan loves you" shirt for the squat and bench, but I was assured by a random nice guy that Jesus still loves me, which I'm sure you know comes as a relief. Southerners have no sense of humor at all.
How could you not love this shirt?
Fantastic. Congrats on finally getting the record and tying the squat, can't wait till you break that too. Excited to see the videos.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, man. It was well deserved.
ReplyDeleteBig props.
And Dan Green broke Belyaev´s record, fucking awesome meet.
Are you planning on doing a write-up and plans for the future [going up a weight class?] blog post?
Yup, though I might hold off on bumping up until I take the squat record.
DeleteYou need to sell that shirt. I'd buy one.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I didn't design it. You can get them cheap on ebay.
DeleteWell done, you deserve it. I doubt any powerlifter outworking you in the gym.

ReplyDeleteLol, I swear you are gonna get your ass crusaded one day walking around Bama with that shirt haha!
ReplyDeletefucking good job
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you did any lifting at Blatt during your time at USC, but I've had similar occurrences in that gym recently with a "George W. Bush Has Aides" shirt. Everybody gets all crazy about it as election time gets nearer.
ReplyDeleteI lifted at Blatt once and go tossed for doing one arm snatches. I own that shirt as well, haha.
