From Critical Bench- Interview With Powerlifter Drew Sheffield of NGBB Elite
As told to CriticalBench.com by Curt Dennis Jr. "The Brute" of Planetrage.com- April 2008
DREW SHEFFIELD...I train with him at NGBB and and he has came a long way as a lifter and as a person. You wouldn't of figured that someone that was built to do long distance running would be squatting 848 and deadlifting near 700. Drew is the example that not just genetic freaks can be powerlifters and not just anyone can be a powerlifter...sometimes it takes more than just strength alone to be one and drew has proven that...also he's prove that if you BELIEVE, you will BECOME...
Critical Bench: Hey, thanks for doing this interview, Drew, please introduce your self.
My name is Drew Sheffield, I'm 21 years old, and student at The Georgia Institute of Technology. I recently totaled 2017 at the GA State APF Championships, which was my first Elite total.
Critical Bench: Congrats. How long have you been into powerlifting?
I started lifting weights my freshman year of college in the spring of 2005 and lifted in my first meet in the Spring of 2006. I went 8-for-9 finishing up with 440/270/501.
Critical Bench: Tell us about your childhood and how you got into powerlifting?
I come from a long line of distance runners so I naturally followed suite as a child and went on to be the captain of my high school Cross Country team. I also played soccer, ran track and wrestled in addition to a short stint as a 2nd string cornerback/free safety on the JV team.
Critical Bench: Who did you look up to when you were coming up as a powerlifter?
The big names of course! Local guys like Jon Grove and Steve Goggins. It was great to live so close to such accomplished lifters. Also the legends of the sport like Vogephol, Coan, Kaz, Capt. Kirk, etc.
Critical Bench: How long have you been at NGBB? How did you hook up with them?
I've been training at NGBB since 2006 after I lifted in my first meet. One of the members, Jon Gordon, offered to handle me at the meet and then invited me to start training at the gym.
