Next up!! Westside Pro Invitational!! We had 3 members of Hercules Gym compete at this meet and ALL 3 made it to the winning podiums. Light weight men we had two, Marcus Morris and Mark Van Alstyne taking first and third respectively. Marcus deserves the most attention of us all. Leaving an almost 300lb total PR in his wake, I could NOT be more proud of this guy!! At 181 he squatted 805, benched 575 and pulled 600 (totaling 1980) with such beautiful precision and technical expertise that Donnie Thompson himself commented that he would be breaking world records someday. I have no doubt this is true!! Mark had a stellar day ending up with 695-510-560-1765. Rheta (me, haha) well, this was a personal accomplishment even more than my numbers which I will expand on in another post. But I ended my day with recovering my WR squat on a fourth attempt of 675 (at 148), benched 375 and deadlifting 515. I took second place in the light weight women but PRed my squat by 50lb and PRed my deadlift by 3lb, my total by 25lb with 1525. The people that choose to train at Hercules and dedicate their training to their accomplishments continue to make me proud. We have so many lifters rising up to show the world how we roll, Hercules is a gym with heart and full of strength. We will continue to raise the bar and foster an environment where those who truly wish to improve and be strong can grow and thrive.
