You are here2010 American Open
2010 American Open
I will not be able to compete in the December
5th, 2010 USA Powerlifting American Open
due to a pec injury. I was hoping for a big
event, but over the last 12-14 weeks a nagging
pec injury has not improved.
My event goal was to be the first USAPL 242
lb lifter in history to squat 800 and bench
600 in the same competition. I guess it will
have to wait.
The next competition I have is the 2011 IPF/NAPF
Pro Invitational at the Arnold Sports Festival
in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, March 5th.
Because it's an IPF sanctioned competition
and they have eliminated the 110 KG wt. class,
I will be moving up to the 120 KG / 264.5
LB division. The last 3 Arnolds I spent the
hours leading up to the competition, losing
weight, my normal bodyweight is over 250,
so I am hopeful this will be a good thing
for my lifting potential.
