For the first time in a long time, I was pain free and felt strong at the same time.

Snoring, mounds of dextrose, and baby powder could not keep Mick from giving the 2013 XPC his all.

His goal: a 2,500-pound PR total

I can't say that it wasn't a good meet, because it was. It just wasn't good for me.

It feels good to reach a goal total and nab several PRs in the process.

His main goal at the USAPL North East Regional Championships was to total at least 1,800 pounds, but that doesn't mean Scott didn't try to shatter a current American record as well.
