Blake Deloach is an Army Veteran who served a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan where he unfortunately lost his sight and suffered what most would consider disabling injuries. Powerlifting has has allowed Blake to find purpose, a sense of community and his competitive edge. This past weekend Blake competed raw with Boyton Beach Barbell where he squatted 446, benched 303, and deadlifted 485 at a bodyweight of 244. I was honored to meet Blake, his wife Lauren, who always had a smile on her face, and their awesome service dog Mason, who knew that when his harness was on he was at work but could relax without it. Thank you Blake for all you have done and for being an inspiration. allowed Blake to find purpose, a sense of community and his competitive edge. Our next meet will be the APF Florida State on February 17th. We hope to see you there!
