Congratulations to Scott Mecham for setting the 220 single ply all time benchpress record at the USPA Utah State meet on May 18 in West Jordan, Utah with 330kg/727 lbs!
This is a USPA American record and Utah State record, but not an IPL World record as World records are only allowed in USPA Nationals, IPL Worlds, and any of the USPA Expo Invitationals.

IPA NC Iron Challenge Meet Write-up
by Greg Nuckols
The training cycle:
After my meet last August, I took training fairly easy for about 4 months. After a summer of daily maxing, I was ready for a little time off. I still hit the gym regularly, but I messed around a lot, stayed well within my comfort zone, and took some time to mentally reboot. When I came home for Christmas break, I resumed serious training again. My lifts were essentially unchanged from August, but my body felt great and I was mentally fresh.
