2 Open Heart Surgeries/1 Closed Heart Surgery - 123 Pounds: 430 Deadlift, 220 Bench, 360 Squat

This is Matt K, he is a buddy of mine from the Illini Powerlifting Team (ILPL). He competes in the 118/123 bodyweight class. He has a 430 pound deadlift, 220 bench, and a 360 squat. All raw. It's pretty impressive at his weight, but the fact he went through two open heart surgeries and one closed heart surgery, this guy makes my accomplishments look like nothing.

He's looking for a sponsor right now, and I shot a video showcasing his best lift, the deadlift. We used a short FATTY bar, so the leverage mechanics and the grip was off. He still was able to pull 405 and 365 for 3 sets of 3.

He plans to start his own website and keep a detailed log, so any company would be lucky to sponsor him. He is only looking for the basic creatine/pre workout supps and perhaps some reimbursements for all the competitions he plans to do in 2010 and 2011. He's currently using Jack3d and Creapure. He's also ran a tub of Green MAG and I gave him a new tub when he visited me.

@batmannu He's got his work cut out for him. I had the same problem but working on core muscles helped a bunch.

Is Matt planning on opening his own YouTube channel?

@BayAreaKING It's shortkid422. I hope he puts up new videos since he goes back to UIUC in a few days. He'll be training with the best.
