Good Luck Artica and Big Byrd52 at the Cincinnati Pro-Am!

[dbcb314]

Both artica (Al Caslow), who has a journal here; and Big Byrd52 (Sam Byrd), one of our mods; are competing in the IPA Cincinnati Pro-Am this weekend.

This may be the best and biggest powerlifting meet ever. Everybody who is somebody in the multi ply world is there (except Bolton) as far I can tell.

so... good luck to Byrd and artica... represent!!

artica went 745/485/625 for a total of 1,855 and he is in the 165's!


it says sam squatted 1050 at 198 I think which beats his previous record. but it looks like he bombed the bench press so idk if it officially counts int he record books or not. IDK the rule exactly. sick squat regardless

there isa video on powerliftingwatch.com on his squat but i ain't on high speed so I didn't link it or watch it

I got the opportunity to go there and watch and it was beyond words! Sam byrd is unreal, he absolutly killed his squats. He was the most impressive squatter in the whole meet! I am not 100% sure who artica is but if is Al Caslow he was very impressive also. Congrats to both of them for an excellent job! I have more respect for anyone who is willing to get up on that platform and do what they do.

sam buried 1050 it was pretty sick. matt smith hit 1160, that guy is a badass. took a shot at 1200 but it was no go. he dropped out b/c of a hurt biceps. what was sick was chad aichs. he missed 1155 twice then jumped to 1220 (new wr) and missed it on depth. what a bunch of freaking animals. the stud of the day was panora who totaled 2600 at 242. he went 1050, 750, 800. dude was ridiculous.
