As I discussed in the post with CJ’s Florida State Meet results, the Special Olympics have opted to convert to completely raw (up until now they had allowed single ply suits and knee wraps). CJ has only been training raw for just over a month and he’s already coming close to his equipped training lifts. Here he is deadlifting 265 for 4 reps while training to compete in the 66 kg/145 lb class at the Special Olympics Southeast Meet in Georgia on January 12th. Since he’s used to wearing his single ply z-suit we’re having him train in his singlet now.
