On 06/22/19 at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi Texas Julius broke the All Time American record bench press with a whopping 723 pounds! He took the attempt to over take Kirill's World record of 738 but BARELY fell short with around 740! This will fall soon maybe a 744 to 750 based on how close this was and the improvement rate he has been showing.

The mighty Oak pulling sumo with a new personal record lift of 815. He has held the total record before and is force to be reckoned with!

One of the best powerlifters in the world pound for pound Richard Hawthorne has set his sights on a 700 lb pull at 132! The greatest pull at this bodyweight is 683 by the legendary Lamar Gant. Richard is second behind him with 639. Although I do believe there has been a 661 done in past Russian competitions but finding such records is very difficult. Never the less, Richard is now on the "Road to 700"., if he is able to achieve this feat it will most definitely be among the greatest lifts ever done! We wait and see.. Here is footage of him pulling 590 for 3 raw!

Matt who competes at 148 and 165 lately shows his new 585 pr in this recent training session. 600 looks to be right around the corner at either weight as he sits at 160.

We have heard of the trials of CC lately but its great to see her back at what she does best! What will we see of CC next? Marianna has set the bar high in the Wilks race and Stef Cohen isn't far behind. Here's CC nailing a 555 for a triple in the squat!
