#SaxonBarbell looks as challenging as it is painful @dali.zheng If at first you don’t succeed...✊TRY AGAIN!! After smoothly hitting my Saxon Bar opener at 165.3 lbs./75 kg. this weight of 182 lbs./82.5 kg. put the 🦍SMACK DOWN on me and refused to come up. Then I dug my heels in (literally & figuratively) and got just flat-out, STUBBORN. This comeback resulting in a successful third attempt on the Saxon Bar was (for me) the “lifting highlight” of the 2018 APL World🌍 Armlifting Championships in St. Petersburg, Russia 🇷🇺 SUMMARY: PRs in 5 of the 6 events👍 & 1 Bronze 🥉Medal for Third Place in the Rolling Thunder, Mens Open, 125+ Weight Class. @dmsuhovarov @swolebiz @riccardomagni1 @oddhaugen @medvedfred @thebiggesthun @brittenymichelleraynor @juliakindoflifts @chick_who.loves_lifting #aplworlds #armliftingprofessionalleague #worldarmliftingchampionship #teamusa #teamusa🇺🇸 #armliftingusa #armlifting #russia #stpetersburg #thisweekingrip #grip #gripstrength #gripsport @alandr72 @mysticalrock @armlifting_pro @armliftingusa @gripsportig
