SPF powerlifting meet. North Myrtle Beach Classic. April 9th, 2011. Competed RAW in 242lb class.
1st place in my class and best overall raw lifter of the meet.
Got ranked #6 in the country @242lb class(with 1710lb/776kg total at the time)..
Had a lot of issues with my squat so 600lbs is not what i wanted to hit..also major cramping while benching(due to water weight cut the day before)..on deadlift lost my grip with 700lbs(would've been 3 times my body weight)..didn't deadlift much w/o straps prior to this meet..
ps. RAW = wearing a wrestling singlet (because it's a requirement-it's not a squat suit!!!), belts and wraps are allowed in raw division under SPF regulations!
Really good work. A few tweaks and you will a good amount of wt.

@mindisj0 Thanks. I was #1 in country in 2010 and was beat in SPF total by 5 lbs this yr. I will end #1 this year in country again. That total I did is misleading. 765 was a smoke and went for 800...fell back. Then on deadlift I pulled 700 on opener and then went for 770 for a 2k total. My grip failed...wt was easy. It has been corrected. I am going for WR on Nov 12th. Wish me luck. haha. You are doing great. Come visit my site at hulkhires dot... and Hulk Training Systems on FB
