I was able to win the open superheavies with a 1488 total Saturday at my first powerlifting meet in 13 years. I had a great time with some old friends and met some new ones. I went 8 for 9 with my only miss being my final deadlift after I had secured the win with my second. My lower back decided that I was done for the day when the third deadlift came off of the floor. I finished with a 529 squat, a 342 bench and a 617 deadlift. I had hoped for a little more, but this raw total was only 83 lbs off of my all time best geared total from 2002. Not sure at this point if I will do any more meets between now and then, but I am definitely in for 2016 Raw Nationals in Atlanta.

As ready as I'm gonna' get.
In four days I'll compete in my first powerlifting meet in thirteen years. I never intentionally stopped powerlifting, I just got distracted by other things when there weren't any good powerlifting meets close to home. I played semi-pro football in 2004 and I've been competing in strongman since 2006. When the USAPL announced that RAW Nationals was coming to Atlanta in 2016, I knew it was time for me to return to the platform. Saturday I will qualify for 2016 Nationals.
