2007 USAPL Rankings

The 2007 USA Powerlifting rankings are out and I am absolutely astonished at how God blessed my lifting last year. I must give Him all the glory for my accomplishments!

In the Men’s Open and Master Bench Press, I was ranked #2 in the country (639) in the 275 lb weight class. In addition, the 562 I did at the IPF Master World Bench Press Championships ranked #15 in the world for 2007. Note: only international meets count on the IPF rankings.

In the Men’s Master 40-44 Full Meet Rankings, I was ranked #6 in the Squat (675), #1 in the Bench Press (585), #5 in the Deadlift (625) and #2 in the Total (1,885).

In the Men’s Open Full Meet Rankings, I was ranked #2 in the Bench Press (585) and #15 in the Total (1,885).

I am amazed that at 41 years old that I achieved these rankings and set personal best in the squat (675), bench press (639), deadlift (625) and total (1,885) in 2007. There is no doubt that God had His hand in this.

On top of these rankings, I finished 2nd at the IPF Master World Bench Press Championships in Schwedt, Germany in September and 1st at the USAPL Bench Press Nationals in Denver CO in November. The 1st place finish at Bench Press Nationals earned me a spot on TEAM USA that will be competing in Prague, Czech Republic this June. I want to say a special thank you to everyone that has supported me over the years through prayer and financial contributions. Your provision means so much to me.

Praising God,

Byron
