Best Meet Lifts @ 181:

Squat: 705

Bench: 424 (NO SHIRT)

Deadlift: 683

Total: 1812

Competed from 1979 - 84, mainly at 181 lbs and once at 198 lbs.

I shattered a disc in my lower back which permanently damaged the sciatic nerve - this is the only reason I quit competing when I did. I thought about getting back into the sport but every time my back would let me know early on that it just wasn't going to happen!

I've never stopped missing the sport and all the friends that I made while in Powerlifting. BTW, my wife Patty was the former USPF State Chairman for Powerlifting.
