I have been Powerlifting for 15 years as well as a member of the national Masters Powerlifting team for 3 out of the last 6 years. I completed 6th at the world championships in the Czech Republic in 2010 as well as put in the top 10 in 2005 as well as once again in 2009.
On Thursday September 15, 2011 I effectively attempted to break the Guinness world record for the most amount of weight lifted squatting in one hour which was 125,065 lbs set in 2009 by 32 year old “Six Pack” Ryan Lapadat…………I assumption I should mention I am 21 years older than Ryan “Six Pack” Lapadat the former record holder…..I was 53 in January 2011.
My record target weight was 126,000 lbs which was to be accomplished by completing 700 to 1000 squats at different weights in one hour or 11 or 17 squats per minute for 60 minutes.
At 9:50 am EDT September 15, 2011 on online With Regis as well as Kelly I officially broke the record surpass my target weight lifting 127,245 lbs over 904 squats in one hour on online national TV………..

But to be honest, it was not always that way. After costs a weekend traveling, I when once again realized exactly how difficult it is to discover time as well as preserve motivation to exercise. I further realized that while many people discover it difficult to exercise when traveling, the majority of us don’t exercise at all.
