On May 1st the boys participated in the Weber High Power lifting Meet. This would be Will's first year and Carter's 3rd year participating. They do three lifts and get three attempts at each lift. Will started out on bench press and did well putting up 165 lbs. I think he had a little more in him, but since it was his first time out it's probably wise he didn't go with more!
His second lift was clean. His form is really good one this one! He did great and was able to do 155 lbs! NICE!
His last lift was squat and it worked out that Carter was able to be his spot for this one! He was able to get 245 pounds and made it look easy. I'm sure he could have done more, but again, it was his first time out so I'm sure next year he'll pound it!
He has been working hard with the same trainer that Carter has been working with for 4 years. His name is John Madsen and he has an amazing place that trains athletes of all kinds! He knows how to get you to your best! We will continue to use him during Will's off season! So next year he's gonna kill it!
Carter began his meet with clean. It's not his strongest when it comes to form. He has always struggled with this one. His goal was to get 225 and he passed that up and got 245 lbs! He tried for 275 and totally had it but dropped it early. But everyone watching said he could have done it!
His second lift was squat and is by far his strongest. I will admit that I was standing right on front of him on this one along with Chan, Brianne, Tom and Grandpa Gilbert. My heart was racing and my hands were shaking! The amount of weight he was going for he had NEVER attempted before! But as you can see in the picture he got low and came right up!!! He managed to get 545 lbs! WOW!
After the squat he had bench and easily put up 365 pounds which easily locked him in as the heavyweight overall winner. He beat the other guys out by a HUGE margin! His over all total was 1155 and the closest to him was only 1075! It was awesome! He also won two other awards- highest squat and highest bench overall.(His best friend Jaden took highest clean) He is best in State 2014! WAY TO GO DUDE! Hard work pays off!
