The heavyweights showed up in full force this past Saturday for UC San Diego Recreation’s Powerlifting Contest. Powerlifting is a showcase of physical and mental strength. For this competition each lifter had three attempts at maximal weight on two different lifts: bench press and deadlift. The best lift in each discipline was recorded and then added together for each lifter’s total for the contest. The highest total won each weight class. An overall winner and runner up were also calculated.

 

Winners include:

MALE

• 123: David Nguyen
• 132: Christopher Nguyen
• 148: Wallyson Jian
• 165: Daniel Macks
• 198: Luke Johns
