Totally wild aperry!!!

Congratulations brother!!!

Important to note this was at 269 bodyweight.

Yeah, it was incredible watching you lift. By your third attempt, you had the audience totally captivated.

The most raw 500+ bench I've ever seen, no belt and no wrist wraps. It must've been pretty cool to see other lifters (some who were equipped) who weighed in the same class or higher lifting before you in the flight.

Great benches and congrats on your first meet.

It was pretty cool to go after the 308-shw, equipped crowd. going dead last having the last bench of the day was pretty fun

 

[IronSoul]

Hell yeah man. Those looked easy for you. That's a ton of weight. Good work and congrats brother.

 

[woodswise]

It is a ton of weight, and I've never seen over a 500 raw bench in person as most guys where I am are lucky to have a 400 raw bench. Kudos.
