Monterey Results

Hi Everyone,

The Monterey, CA meet was a blast and my boys did great. Matt LaMarque hosted a great meet, with great equipment and the judging was spot on all day. It was the first powerlifting meet I have ever attended that actually finished a head of schedule. Amazing! Ok, now for the lifting, Adam Hill had a great day Adam benched 363 and deadlifted 474, (at a body weight of 175) which is a new Nevada state record. Adam started off shaky but got it together and won the best over all teen/junior men trophy, which was a very cool sword. Matt Allen popped his cherry by lifting in his first ever powerlifting meet, and did a great job. Matt even battled Adam for the first two rounds of deadlifts. Matt pulled 391 and missed at 451. Kyle had the meet of his life. Kyle benched 407 (a new PR) and  deadlifted 545 (also a new PR) at a body weight of 220. Joey had an amazing day in teen men's 220's. Joey benched 402 (new PR) and deadlifted 534. (also a new PR) Joey took 564 for a ride but came up just short. If he would have made that lift he would have broken my son Matt's Nevada state record of 562. The boys brought their girl friends and Sandy Meyers came along as well and all of us had a blast. We ate lots of good food and drink a few beers along the way. All in all one of my favorite meets to date. I didn't lift as my pec is not ready yet, but I will be ready for the WABDL world's in Nov.

We will begin strongman training this week and I will post those workouts. I hope everyone is well. Stay strong and follow your dreams.
