Here are the pics from the Orlando ABC held at Brian Schwab's gym, Orlando Barbell:

The gym was small, but had everything needed for a great day of training. Being in the presence of one of powerlifting's elite (Brian Schwab) was awesome. He seemed very humble and just an all-around nice guy. The only thing we found odd was that everything felt heavier. We had come to the conclusion that apparently there's more gravity at Orlando Barbell and it makes training a bit more difficult... ;)

Congrats to Professor for shattering his old deadlift PR. For a 16 year old weighing in the 180s, a pull of 405 is awesome. I guess the additional gravity didn't affect you as much...

Keller's BBQ was great! I'd love to hit that place again. You just can't go wrong with all-you-can-eat bar-b-que.

Thanks to all the guys that showed up. Without you guys this ABC wouldn't be successful.

Here is video I shot. 39 seconds worth. It gets everybody at once except for me. I think it was a good shot every near everybody doing something at once.

This is Professor hitting 405. Form critiquing aside, this is a big pull for his size and age.

Congratulations guys, good turn out!

Thank you, sir. Some of the pics are blurry; none of us are professional photographers. And yes it was a decent turn out. Couldn't ask for a better crew to train with.

Nice session fellas. Some big weights being thrown around in there. Very impressive. You guys have one solid crew. Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for your next ABC. Keep training hard and keep spreading the good word.
