We are back from the Worlds

Hi everyone,

We had a great time at the world's. Here is a recap of the trip.
I lifted on Friday. I weighed 218. I opened at 457, and missed it a half inch from the top. I took it over for my second attempt, and made that one. On my third attempt I went for the Nevada state record, which is 473, I went to 475 and missed it. Oh well! I ended up third. The two guys who beat me were the two guys I thought would win and they did. 2nd place went 479, and winner got a nice 512.

Adam was all by himself in the bench and the deadlift and he had a great meet, just missing two new pr's. Brandon benched out of his butt by doing a personal best of 396 after not being in a shirt in a long time. He ended up 2nd. Matt is the new World Champion for the deadlift in teen 220 18-19 years old. Matt broke his own state record and tied his dad with a great 562 deadlift on his second attempt, and he went for broke and and almost pulled a huge 578 on his final lift, he got it to his knees but it just wouldn't go. Matt won the best lifter award, which was the sickest sword I have ever seen. Vegas was a blast and we all had fun. We took Josh to the Hoover Dam on Sat. and walked the new bridge which is almost 1,000 ft above the Colorado river. We also had the best susi I have ever had Sunday night. We were all beat when we got home so it took me until today to post this, so I'm sorry it took so long.
