I’m blessed to work out with the Rooster. You guys eat your heart out. Coming to a town near you soon.
A Bigg thanks and shout out to the crew for all the support for Mikey.He really appreciates it.We will all watch him as he makes a run at a National title,and share in the fun!!!
BW-144 Teen-1 13 to 15 years old.
This district meet did not break down the age groups but he still kicked A!He competed against 7 other high school powerlifting teams and all grades 9 thru 12 in one overall teenage division.
Squat-360
Bench-200
Deadlift-360
920 total 2nd. place, a senior won the division.He lettered in the sport as a sophmore.
He went 8 for 9 and missed his 3rd. bench at 205.This is his second meet in two weeks and he needs to rest up now.That total ranks him at # 4 in the USAPL teen 1 division.He could have pulled more but I did not want him to leave any weight on the platform so I picked 360 on his last deadlift.A 375 or 380 was in him!The same for the squat too!We will all begin to train for the State Meet in june.Again thanks to all and a great weekend to you!!! TRAIN HARD! Jimmy T
Mikey had some damn good numbers Jimmy! Congrats to him and your training. I know you are one proud papa bear!
Well done Mikey and you too coach!
Great lifting and great coaching.
Well not to moan and groan but, The kid that beat him, lets just say should have had about 400 taken off his total. In the two meets Mikey has competed against this kid, his squat has been at least 2" too high. Not that its life or death, but its tough to watch when Mikey buries his and the other kid doesnt. Just the gripe of an uncle.
At least Mikey KNOWS he’s playing it pure.
There’s the rules and then there’s the spirit at the center of the pursuit that the rules were set up to lead people to. Followers of the spirit don’t need to worry about the rules or those who “win” in spite of them.
My two cents and maybe even some sour grapes, considering…
Mikey did a great job on the platform! His support group/coach obviously did a fine job. What a nice balance between all 3 lifts; and JimmyT says the kid had more in him!!!
It is unfortunate in this sport when judges give “gifts”…the lifts are earned; not “gifts”. All I can say is keep burying those squats; that will pay big dividends throughout your lifting career and you never have to worry about reds for depth. On to bigger and better come June t the whole family!
Would you consider adopting/coaching a 39 year old guy? I need a dad like you.
63galaxie-all the coaches know how well Mikeys executes his lifts.His competitors were surprised to hear him rooting them on with their lifts.
skid-thank you.Mikey would not want a lift given to him.At the NASA level half these kids would not make it past their squats.
QT-Yes he is a well rounded three lift lifter.Thanks brother.
Eco-we always have room to train and support another lifter.When I come up to N.H. I will look you up my brother.
Yeah you and I know whats up, but Mikey deserves to have his posse stand up and shout!
Thats MY job.
