note from student & WF becomes Strongman!

I received a very nice note from a former student, even though I've been out of the class for a year and a half. It was received right before Thanksgiving break, so it was a nice gift of thankfulness to receive!

Wrestling Fan (although I think his name is going to have to change to Strongman) competed in the World's Association for Bench & Deadlift competition this past week in Vegas. He earned a spot after breaking a world record this past spring. While he didn't break a world record this time around, he did break a state record for his weight & age group. He weighed 117 lbs and benched 196 lbs. He won a very nice trophy for that. He also won best lifter for the age group of 12 to 15 year olds.

How this works is by formula. Basically, it is a ratio between your weight & the weight lifted. He beat out nine other kids for this & won a very nice sword.
