In the pro division therre were no weight classes. Jesse could have made 198, but wanted the extra weight. Tiny blew his shirt out on a 965 attempt, and Jesse barly missed the 810. Craig had to strong trys at 750 just couldnt get the lock out. AJ couldnt find the grove on hsi first two attempts but got on his third for his 725. Lang hits his opener at 700 then couldnt get it together for anything higher, but he was sporting like 12 stiches in his index fingure. Eric hit strong opener at 605 then 625 and lost it in the whole on a 640.

Fun meet as always! Reed puts on a heck of a meet! It was great to see a lot of friends and meet some new ones. I competed in the Masters Divison and finished with a 625 with a narrow miss at 650.

No excuses! Just lift it!

Way to go Tiny and Jesse. Looks like several good benches there!

Jesse weighed 205 and Tiny weighed 305. Jess opened with 750, then hit 775 and barely missed 810. I really think Jesse will have the record soon. Tiny opened with 860, then hit 905, and then missed 965(his left sleeve exploded). Tiny then jumped off the bench like nothing ever happened. Awesome meet, every time Jesse and Tiny lift it goes down to the last lift, but I think this one was the best.

It was a really nice out door meet with loud music. Everybody had a great time. Many guys in our gym hit PR's. Congrats goes out to all the Downtown Fitness Center lifters and a big congrats to August Clark Jr. August is getting back from a pec tear and still managed to bench over 300 Raw at 141. It was good to see him on the platform again.

There was a guy videoing the meet so I am sure some videos will emerge eventually. I order a copy and look forward to getting it!

Tiny,
Great job my brother. Way to show who you really are. Great fortitude with all that is going on in your life. Man, I'm really happy for you. Now put a TITAN on and hit a grand dude? :)

wait a minute.

this is why coefficient is stupid. jesse benched close to 4x BODYWEIGHT! and lost to a guy who didnt even bench 3 times bodyweight. stupid.

congrats to tiny. nothing against him. but this is the problem with powerlifting. people just grab some extra cheeseburgers, because without them you wont win the money.
