Chuck Vogelpohl Out of Lexen Xtreme Pro-Am

Submitted by Staff on February 7, 2010 - 10:10am.

Yesterday, Chuck Vogelpohl (242) bombed out of the IPA Lexen Xtreme Pro-Am in Columbus, Ohio. Vogelpohl was apparently injured on his opening squat attempt of 1,085 pounds but still came back to make an attempt with 1,120 pounds. He then returned to attempt a deadlift. He missed each of those lifts.

Vogelpohl holds the largest 242 class squat of all-time at 1,140 pounds.

Did he take a Token bench in order to deadlift?

He didn't bench in order to deadlift. Who cares either way he is one of the strongest people on the planet, I'm happy he opted to try and deadlift even after getting injured on the squat as a fan that shows why he is the baddest powerlifter on the planet.

Well that sucks big time. One of my favorite lifters hurt right off the bat for 2010. Hope you get well soon Chuck and recover 110%.
