Interview by: turbobusa
This interview is one to keep the strength guys/gals happy . !
I ran up on Derek at about 545 am on a friday. I could hear the unmistakable sound of someone moving some serious iron with
authority in the next room. My favorite way to start a great day. So I mosey on over and I recognize Derek. The thing is I did not realize that it was the Derek that Anasci member psych had posted up squatting 937 raw .. In our power and strength thread. Derek put up the following numbers at the UPA meet in Iowa last weekend.
Raw Squat 937
