Powerlifting 2006 WPC/WPO Worlds Saturday

So who am I?

I started powerlifting about a 10 years ago. Have been weight lifting for over two decades. I hold the state record for dead lift in Texas for my age and weight class and also bench press. Powerlifting needs more publicity! It is a great sport with so few knowing about it and I'm here to help get the word out. Here's to all the big guys!
