Sorry if repost.
Just saw this on Westside's FB page.
--Westside News--
It is of great regret that Westside must announce that AJ Roberts has retired from Powerlifting and foremost from Westside Barbell. AJ came along way in 3 short years coming here with a 2400lbs total with 1000lbs squat and 705lbs bench press. And leaving with a 1205lbs squat, 910lbs Bench Press and an 815lbs deadlift, 3 total world records and ending with a 2855lbs total and all his best lifts add up to 2930lbs at 308lbs bodyweight. We know we can replace your numbers on the record board but we can never replace you and your contributions to Westside.
Good luck AJ in finding what is right for you and Gracie.

People on another forum say he's still lifting, and he's moving for more money. Apparently he does marketing on the internets and is pretty good at it too.
Also, I don't see why Louie says "foremost from Westside" which seems to imply Westside is bigger than powerlifting in general. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky.Meet: 440/248/485 = 1173@144 sp

Just because he's "retired" doesn't mean he's not lifting anymore and doesn't mean he wont compete again.
