Shout out to

I met him at a local meet I ran 2 weeks ago

I told the crowd I’d pay anyone to get on the mic for me

He stepped up and volunteered to emcee all day

It was his first powerlifting meet where his son was competing

We asked him to come to Regionals and 2 weeks later he drove out and killed it again

Already one of the best in the sport

Barbell618 client had a hell of a year capped off .united Nationals

Larry never quit and simply wouldn’t let adversity get in his way. He actually bombed on bench at the Mid American Regional on bench after cutting weight for the first time. He also built/leveled out each platform for that event the day before. Overall a learning experience and as we looked at it, an opportunity for another meet to gain experience prior to Nationals. A couple weeks later he was on a plane to to qualify at a higher weight class. No complaints, just action.

Fast forward to Nationals (and about a dozen falls off a roof/ladder later at work) he trusted me to guide him to his goals and he simply executed.

Larry PRd every lift, is a National Record holder in the bench press, and put together a 9/9 performance. He came in second in his first Nationals in a stacked 120kg class, behind only one lifter who competed later on in the day during Prime Time.

Beyond proud of this man and excited to work with him each day and build into the future!

Squat: 275kg / 606lbs
Bench: 210.5kg / 464lbs (National Record)
Deadlift: 305kg / 672lbs
Total: 790.5kg / 1743lbs
