The one and only Kieran Kidder returned to the platform to compete in our meet and put up some impressive numbers.

5 mins. treadmill

5 Weeks out from the APF Southern States.

Squats w/Buffalo bar- 145x5, 235x3, 325x2
w/Ace briefs- 415x1, 505x1,
w/loose Ace prototype, straps down- 595x1
w/knee wraps- 755x1
w/reverse purple bands- 805x1


I've decided to stick with my Ace prototype for the Southern States. It's a little looser and easier to hit depth in. It's also the suit I squatted my PR of 825 in.

My long time training partner, Greg Godwin, said this is the strongest he's ever seen me which was nice to hear. Hopefully he's right and it will show at the Southern States.

Leg Press- 270x12, 360x12, 450x12

Reverse Hypers- 90x10, 135x10x2

We ended up with a total of 8 new members last week, partially due to the nearby Steel Mill Gym closing. Business seems to be picking up which is definitely a good thing.



Best lifter in the Ironman, Kevin Phillipson, pulled 600 raw.
