So I’m currently in 7th place in the USAPL ranking for bench press for the Open Raw 83K class this year. I barely started competing this year and I’m loving it. Overall I’m ranked in the high 20’s for all my lifts, but my strongest exercise is the bench press. I guess all the bench presses I’ve been doing this year are paying off. Now, I have to increase my strength for the squat and dead lifts to be an all around powerlifter. I’m pretty far from the top 5 guys in my class and this type of sport, you can’t be a champion over night. It takes years of training and being patience. I’m determine to be number one even if it takes me 10 years. Being an underdog, gets me motivated to be on the top.
The Underdog is a great article and I can’t wait to see future installment. Good luck to the future.
Woot woot! Don’t stop until you reach the top!
