Byron Nichols Featured in Clarion-Ledger

On Saturday, U.S. World Team member Byron Nichols was featured in an article by The Clarion-Ledger. Nichols, 275, competed at last week's IPF Bench Press World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic where he captured fifth place with a 633 pound effort.

"You can't play defense in this sport," Nichols, 41, said of powerlifting. "You can only play offense. You can't control what another person does. You can only control what you do, so that's what I encourage people to do."
