12One Training

This past Saturday before the Crimson Tide kicked off, I competed in the USPA Southern Elite Classic. I originally wasn’t going to do it, but John Micka encouraged me to compete. So, I competed in benchpress-only due to my back not quite being 100% since my injury. By the grace of God, I set meet-comeback-personal record with 325.2lbs! I was awarded a medal for my efforts! Thank you to John for keeping me encouraged and Michael Petyak for the training & encouragement as well. Shout out also to Josh Smith for helping me during the meet!

By the grace of God, I achieved a milestone on my comeback journey. At my last United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) meet, I hit 440lbs. Here, at the famous Muddy Water Strength Garage Gym, I hit a PR of 460lbs! That’s a 20lb increase! To God be the glory! Shout out to Michael Petyak!

Late post from this past Sunday afternoon. Worked my way up to my top stet at 90% x2. Then, I dropped down for some speed reps at 76% for 4x2. Still working towards that goal! To be the glory!
