I barely started competing this year and I\u2019m loving it. Overall I&#8217;m ranked in the high 20\u2019s for all my lifts, but my strongest exercise is the bench press. I guess all the bench presses I\u2019ve 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\u2019m pretty far from the top 5 guys in my class and this type of sport, you can\u2019t be a champion over night. It takes years of training and being patience. I\u2019m determine to be number one even if it takes me 10 years. Being an underdog, gets me motivated to be on the top.<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31131\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31131\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterfever.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31131\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2016\/04\/20\/the-underdog\/rankings\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Rankings.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"427,459\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Rankings\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rankings&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Rankings-427x250.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-31131 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Rankings.jpg\" alt=\"Rankings\" width=\"427\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Rankings.jpg 427w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Rankings-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Rankings-300x322.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rankings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;m currently in 7th place in the USAPL ranking for bench press for the Open Raw 83K class this year.
