View Full Version : 500lbs... A milestone.
Today I competed in the IPA DE state powerlifting meet held by BIg Dog (Gene Rychlak) on a last minute "whim" if you will. I went to weigh in's friday night weighing in @ 190lbs (much less than expected due to dieting) and decided to enter the 198lb. RAW junior Pro division. I opened with a 410lb pull followed by a 450lb. dead and both were successful and clean... After the 2nd pull I made the decision to make 500lbs. my 3rd and final attempt weight... With motivation via McFly (Andy Sedar) and Hoomgar my fellow animals, I was certain the lift was mine.... Stepped out... set up.... and pulled HARD!!! The 500lbs was a success and I could not be happier! It's a milestone not only for me in terms of strength and lifting but in my life as well. I'd like to thank BIg Dog for having the meet so close to home for us DE residents and McFly, BigAl, Hoomgar, PowerfulKate and my girlie BrittanyOG for all the support.

I expected nothing less then what I saw from 5150. He's been putting in work day after day, learning, asking questions and growing.
5150 trains hard, when you train hard day after day you can step up to the plate and do work when it counts.
good shit 5150....now get back to work!
good work 5150! you have support from the entire animal community! keep training hard!
Nice f'n work bro.
Thanks!
SWEET!!!!!
Are there going to be vids?
I'm looking for more pics/vid now. I have some pics from the meet up on my myspace page.
Top man,congrats, them kind of Numbers are a long way off for me but i will get there.
Keep at it bro and you'll be there!! I started out just 3yrs ago not being able to do 1 rep of 135 on any of the big 3 and weighed a frail 140lbs.
Awesome bro! 500 is my big goal right now, so I can only imagine how great it must have felt to pull that! Huge congrats man!
I was stoked beyond belief! Thanks a lot.
Nice work dude, glad to hit that mark its a soild milestone

You know it big man and I owe a lot of the knowlege to you. I know I prob bug you at times but when I need a no bullshit answer I know I can count on you. The open Pro 198lb RAW record is next on the list and I'm gonna take some of Sgt. Rocks expert advice to attain that... It's ON!!!
good work 5150! you have support from the entire animal community! keep training hard!
I try to rep my "crew" in all aspects of my life. My city, My friends and my fellow animals with the same goals i have..... Lifting heavy and gettin' big!!

Congrats! That DE crowd is awesome for support too!
That they are! The couple of times I have trained at TTC have been some of the most intense ever with the likes of McFly, Big Al, TommyGuns, BigMoneyWill, Boz and myself all going balls to the wall. Good shit.
