Last Wednesday Nick & I left for Vegas with a few simple goals... Make sure we got a qualifying lift in each category (squat, Bench, Deadlift) and to perform a triple BW deadlift.
We not only accomplished both but also learned A LOT! In the process Nick won his division and is the IPL Power Lifting World Champiion for the 198# Raw Division! Nick also qualified for next years competition and I suspect, has now found what he wants to specialize in... Either way the planning has now begun and I suspect that it will be a damn fun year with a lot of big accomplishments.
While there is a lot more to this story, the most important thing is that we left with two goals, and we accomplished both. Next year we will be going in a hell of a lot smarter and much more prepared... That is if Nick doesn't move his gym the month before the competition ;)
Can't tell you how proud I am to not only call myself your Coach, but also for your performance on Thursday. Competition and the spotlight can cause a lot of people to crumble or quit. Not you my friend... 1600 is within reach next year!
If you see or know Nick, make sure you tell him that he sucks at benching and needs to improve!
