I competed in 6-7 meets in my 20's so I have experience

I competed twice in the 48's and the rest in the 65's

Louie Simmons was at one of our meets and some of his boys were competing and when me and my buds donour lifts he shouted Drive! Drive! Drive! 😎😎😎

In my first meet ever, (Boston Open Power Meet) I benched 200 pounds with a pause while weighing 126 pounds.......I had a 235 pound touch and go bench in the gym in super strict form at that piddly ass bodyweight.

Funk has the magazine with the results to prove it and posted it here in the past.

Of course not everyone could attend that meet, some were busy throwing chests of tea overboard from british ships.

But more seriously DJ's lifts are more recent, and if he was being trained by blakely it would be some sort of official meet, so his stats would almost certainly be on openpowerlifting dot org would they not?
