Andrew entered his first meet last month.
Apparently he met the qualifications requirement to enter Youth Nationals this summer in Las Vegas. He actually exceeded the requirement by 12-kilos.
I made this vid to highlight his two-year training up to his first competition.

Thanks bro. He really loves the sport. I will take him as far as I can. At some point I know I will have to engage top level coaches to take him to the next level.Originally Posted by mtpockets

Butt more cuz of our height difference. NG Dude, I freakin' dig your passion for what u believe in. I get where you're coming from, brother.
and big ups to Andrew for his dedication and efforts. Chip off the 'ol block, and I assume he's also got his pop's spicy sense of humor.

My Son had 1 summer where he was chasing my DL max, had a great lean build, he was around 17 and well respected in the HS gym. He went pretty casual after that, lifting here and there. His academics are outstanding but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed he didn't take the lifting farther.Originally Posted by ChazWood

That is awesome!!!
My son benches and does pull-ups: his bench is much better than mine; his pull-ups much worse He has no desire to work legs, but he's got a naturally big set of wheels and doesn't need to for aesthetic purposes. But he prefers to lift by himself except for when we belonged to a gym pre-covid.
