We all want to hate him for his pull..and that he's not a fatass like the rest of us...but we can't because he's too nice a guy.

Look for Spence to make some noise next time he's on the platform.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the suit, but he trains his ass off and doesn't really know how strong he is most of the time. I think "cheater" is the most common thing we call each other. That might be our longest running joke.

When Ryan said, what the F is going on? He was refering to his switch to sumo. That was his 1st time deadlifting sumo in a suit. He ended up with a 30 pound PR.

Some of the guys in the gym were teasing him about how short he pulls the weight. I think it's bull shit though we all have advantages and disadvantages so deal with it. I will not take credit from him and just say he is built for it. He works hard and he is strong and with that Deadlift he proved it.

Ryan will deadlift 4 times his bodyweight in his next meet.

nice. thanks mark. we've had guys hit some big PR's by switching their pulling style also. we had one guy go from a 545@198 conventional to 625@198 three-four months later, just by switching to sumo

we also had a guy go from 727@308 conventional to 633@308 sumo... lol, not really a good example, but it does show how the different pulling styles really favor the different lifters.

This guy is a freak. I remember lifting with him at my first 3-lift meet. Killer deadlift with a very good squat and a decent bench. I see him breaking 10x bodyweight in a USAPL or USPF meet soon
