Although attendance was light due to the fact that the WPA World Championships being weeks away it was a nice tuneup meet for some and some nice numbers were registered. 22 year old Jorge Pillado lifting in the 242 class squatted 820, benched 560, and deadlifted 750 in standard gear for a huge 2130 total.  Cody Colchado who is a blind lifter pulled a nice 500 deadlift with ease. Although normally posting very big squats and deadlifts Jerry Saldana was lifting with an injury and had to do token squats and deadlifts today. Jerry should be healed up for the WPA Worlds and put up some big numbers in that event.

 

Special thanks to our referees, spotters, loaders, Robert Jackson, and Extreme Fitness for making this a memorable event.
