The Maryland Powerlifting Report 2/11/08
APA News:
Scott Taylor (President-APA) on the '08 Worlds:
The WPA World Championships will be the weekend of May 10th in Fairhaven, Vermont at Fairhaven High School. The RAW World Championships will be run in conjunction with this event. Next year we will most likely host a separate RAW World Championships as the RAW segment of the APA has been growing so fast.
This years event is approximately 1 hour from the Canadian border so those planning on competing in an International event better be prepared to face some new and very fierce competition. We also expect some Russian lifters to compete and I can think of one Russian 308 who lifts RAW and will be hard to beat if he decides to participate in this years event.
We will be offering a "pro-division" as well for those who wish to compete for some $$$$. More details to follow. The pro-division will feature RAW, standard gear, and Unlimited Gear categories.
Attention Referees- Scott Taylor sends the following request:
Any APA referee's please email me with your current contact info. My email addy is scott@apa-wpa.com
Many have moved and not provided new addresses, phone numbers etc. Several who took the online exam bypassed the part where you put in your mailing address and just put down a state or in some cases just their hometown and not state. In addition, some put down thier first name or nickname and not a last name.
We need to know who you are, where you are from, and how to contact you in order to utilized you. Lots of folks scored well on the exam but we have no idea what area your from etc.
Thanks.

From Critical Bench: Interview With Powerlifting Squat Prodigy - Scott Weech
Interviewed By Ben Tatar of CriticalBench.com - February 2008
1) CRITICAL BENCH: Hi Scott. It's an honor to interview the World Record Holder in the 100% RAW Federation. Introduce yourself to Critical Bench!
Well, I am 22 years old and live in Lakeland Fl. I have been married for almost 2 years. I just graduated with my bachelors degree from the University of South Florida . I am 6 feet tall and weigh 310 pounds. I compete in both powerlifting and strongman. I also do strongman exhibitions at various churches.
2) CRITICAL BENCH: Wow, it seems like you have so much going for you at such a young age. You have a degree, marriage, and a squat world record at 22, and you're strongman exhibitions at churches is admirable! What are your best lifts and what federation(s) do you compete in?
My best equipped numbers are Squat - 1103, Bench - 633, Deadlift - 733, and Total - 2442.
My best Raw numbers are Squat - 826.5, Bench - 529, Deadlift - 760, and Total - 2101.
I compete in APF, 100% Raw, and NAS Strongman.
3) CRITICAL BENCH: You have the World Record in the squat in the 100% RAW Federation! Tell us about the squat world record that you hold!
I squatted 826.5 pounds at the 2006 World Championships in Vermont . It was a great feeling, but I really felt like I could have done better than I did. I am excited about the future and raising the bar.
4) CRITICAL BENCH: Give us your squat routine!
Well my routine is constantly changing, but some aspects are fairly constant. I do regular raw squats at least once a week. Never more than twice and if I do squat a second day it will not be as heavy or it might just be something like box squats. One of my recent squat routine looked something like this:
160 - 10, 250 - 5, 360 - 5, 450 - 5, 540 - 5, 630 - 5, 720 - 5, all of these initial sets were done without a belt. The remainder of the sets were done with a belt. 770 - 3, 810 -2. After my squats I will do a number of different exercises, such as pulling the sled and front squats. I try to keep the workout very intense and my workouts usually last about 2 hours.
