Congrats and Good Luck

First I would like to congratulate Darren Smith, from St. Mary High School. Darren has been a client of mine for a couple years now and is a great athlete. He is also a great student academically. Darren had a few different college offers (even one from the Naval Academy Preparatory School). He decided to attend Brescia University to play basketball and tennis this fall.


Darren at the signing.

Second I would like to congratulate Chase Caldwell, from Heath High School. Chase finished 4th in the 400 meter with a time of 52.12 at the Kentucky State Track Meet. Chase has been a client of mine for about 8 months now and has made some great improvements. Chase is also only a sophomore so I expect to see some more great things from him on the track (as well as on the soccer field).

Coming up in less than a month I have 4 clients competing in the Southern Powerlifting Federation’s powerlifting meet in Cookeville, TN. For Todd and Kelly this will be their first competition. Todd has only been lifting a little over a year but is putting up some impressive numbers. I expect him to do well. Kelly has been training with me for over four years but just recently wanted to get into powerlifting. She is also putting up some very impressive numbers.

Kelly Deadlifting a few months ago. Strength has really went up since then.

For Laura and Parker this isn’t their first rodeo. This will be Laura’s 2nd meet. Laura holds the Kentucky state raw bench press and raw deadlift record. She has been lifting with me for a little over a year. From her current gym numbers she should take the SPF Tennessee state record for her division. This will be Parker’s 5th Powerlifting competition. Parker holds a national raw powerlifting record.


Laura Deadlifting 200 for 4 reps a few months ago. She pulled 230 for 2 last week.


Parker Pulling 360 for a single.

I expect to see some great things (definitely some personal records and possible a state record or two?). Good Luck Everyone!
