Meet Recap: Jose competed at the USAPL Arnold Raw Challenge, and at his first larger National meet was able to secure a 25kg PR total! The undisputed king of home gyms (if you have not seen his gym, go check out his profile) finished the day with a 590lb. squat, 364lb. bench press, and a 634lb. deadlift for a 1,588lb. total in the 90kg weight class. This was our first meet together, and Squat in particular is the lift that had room for improvement over past meet performances, and Jose absolutely crushed it on the day. He was able to hit a 12.5kg meet PR, as well as a big improvement with execution and depth that left no doubt. The only thing that evaded us was the 300kg deadlift, but we learned some things from this prep that will definitely help bring things together in the future. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jose. Even with a full time job, family, kids, and more, he is always on top of things and it’s a blessing to be in his corner. In his first big step up in competition, he had his best meet yet, and the game plan is to come back again to Columbus next year for round 2!
