My first meet was (God help me) a USAPL meet in PG county Maryland in 1999. Crappy little venue in a Middle School Auditorium. Three lift meet.
Squat 745
Bench 425
deadlift 625
Won my weight class (242) and received Best Lifter. Never looked back after that.
Since then I have won a World Championship and Competed at the Arnold.

single lift bench i pressed 340 @ 198 @ 17 years old, raw.
wnpf was alot of fun. made friends with some powerlifters from ephrata PA and i see their crew lifting at all the northeast WNPF meets.

You know what's crazy, Kevin Nee has higher lifts then those and hes only 21! That guys my idol right now, I can only dream of being that strong at that age.

My first meet was last month, I took second in the 242 out of states. It was a USAPL meet.
first meet was in high school my sophomore year.. only weighed about 165
bench was something like 225 squat 275 and deadlift 225 .... didnt do to good but it lit a fire under my ass to put me where i am today ... guess something good came out of it after all
