Hey guys, I'm Brent and I am a 22 year-old powerlifter and aspiring strongman from Bakersfield, Ca. I have been powerlifting for almost two years. The majority of my training before I started powerlifting consisted of bodybuilding so that I could put on weight for wrestling season. I have previously competed in the 308 lb weight class, but I have recently made the move to SHW because I am having problems staying under 308.
Last March I went 705/463/832 for a 2000 lb raw total. At this year's Olympia I deadlifted 843 lbs in a single-ply suit. My next competition will be the LA FitExpo in January. My goal is an 850+ raw deadlift. I am also planning on doing my first strongman competition in the summer of 2012.
Although I am a powerlifter, maintaining my physique has always been a priority of mine. I keep my diet very strict and I include many bodybuilding exercises with my powerlifting and strongman routines. I absolutely love working out and find myself in the gym 6-7 days a week, so I am able to include many different types of exercises and workouts into my training schedule.
I look forward to becoming part of this community, it looks like I have the opportunity to learn a lot here.
