powerlifting bench records

I am a lifetime drug free powerlifter. I do not believe in GNC products like creatine, dark matter etc. I studied martial arts for many years teaching a variety of moves in order to develop the skills for flexibility and speed. My intent was to demonstrate powerlifters can also be quick with their hands and feet.

Over the years I persued powerlifting and it brought me out of many hardships. By the grace of God 34 years of intense raw training has been an exciting journey for me.

In 2006 I was severely injured in an auto accident. One year later a snowboarding incident. My squats and deads would never be the same!



At 42, I decided to make a comeback.
Several months of intense training and therapy paid off.


I set a world record in the IPA, bench pressing 420 at 43.
I broke 9 world records that year in the men's drug free division. My first full meet since my accidents.
I continued to break records in both IPA and WNPF.

March 2010 I founded "VICTORY POWERLIFTING". The Lord brought me through a terrible time and I decided to encourage lifters of all ages with my story.

Victory powerlifting is a raw drug-free organization that promotes young lifters to believe in themselves,build strong character and to demonstrate strength gains are possible without the use of steroids and expensive supplements!

Favorite lifts: cleans, bench press, overhead push press.

My inspiration is (Philippians 4:13)
" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
