Upholding the Standard – Part 2

09/06/2013 Matthew Gary 0

Own your performance and take responsibility for your actions. That was the mandate issued in Upholding the Standard in March 2012 and while the more things change, the more they stay the same. I measure individual powerlifting performances by the number of successful lifts, personal records (PR) achieved, and placing within a weight class and/or age group. I also grade novices or intermediates on technical improvements and becoming more acclimated to the competitive experience. Six Read More

I also knew my gym PRs. I crushed the last Read More

Myself, John Bogart and Titty were all taking out big weights but at the end I came out on top with a 744 bench to Bogarts Read More
