I am from TEXAS!!!! in the city of Midland. (Out in the middle of nowhere, but if you've seen the movie Friday night lights you'll know where.)

I train at Gold's, school gym I work at, and The Gym (owned by a fellow team member)

Squat: 550
Bench: 465
Deadlift: 562

My best gym lifts geared:
Squat: 600
Bench: 510
Deadlift: don't do

I have just recently bagan squatting again, the comp squat was over 1 year and a half ago...I had knee surgery back in December of 06...am in need of a total knee replacement.

Bench: 405
Deadlift: 500

I lift in the NASA federation. I lift for Half Evil Powelifting, a team we began a year ago...we are small but growing.
I am planning on lifting in other feds as well but consider NASA my home.

I currently use a Katana single ply bench shirt, Titan single ply squat suit and Titan single ply deadlift suit. I do use a Titan F6 single ply and Inzer Denim single ply shirt...am looking into double denim for feds that aloow 2 ply...also have an F6 2-ply...that sucker hurts!!! LOL

On a side note I judge high school meets in Texas and do enjoy helping coaches and lifters achieve goals and PR's.
I enjoy helping my own students achieve success in the weightroom.

I've learned from many and enjoy giving back to new lifters!

LIFT LARGE!!!!!!!

I never have a chance to fully train to compete due to I wrestle and always have to watch my friggin weight. After this year at Millersville Univ. I dont know if I'm gonna keep wrestling so that I can switch to what I'd rather do -- train without having to worry about my weight.
