Goal (Overall):
To have an Elite Total in the 242 class.
Goal (Long):
To be a great bench press specialist. Many have achieved this feat and I would like to join the many that have accomplished this feat. After the goal is attained, I move forward because in this game we all want to move on forward to conquer heavier weights to be lifted!Lift strong! With the help of my Texas Barbell team members I know the goals are to be achieved! I am also entering full meets as well.

I had a great time & received great feedback from the judges. I didn't place but I'm ready to move on to the next show. The Austin show on 8/9 is always a great production-not sure where you are in Texas but it's worth it to see it...
