Greg Baxter with a USPA American Record 585-lb. Squat

Sept. 3, 2011-The setting was the Metroflex Gym in Long Beach, California. The event was the Southern California Open Powerlifting Championship. I weighed in at 216 lbs. After a deep, successful opener with 551 lbs., I raised the weight to 585 lbs. for my second attempt. This was an attack on the existing American record. My set-up was deliberate, and I was focused. After a deep descent, I exploded out of the hole. The judges approved the lift, and I owned a new record.
