Michael Onzuka

So proud of our boy! 2nd place in the Pan American Regional Bench Press Championships in Costa Rica. He seeked and destroyed his last PR pushing it to 330lbs, previously from 319lbs (matching it in his second attempt) weighing just under 145lbs. Unfortunately there was a Mexican kid who was a savage and benched 348lbs.

He has been on this crazy disciplined diet that continued from his competition in January at Vegas to qualify for this comp. He weighs and tracks every macro and eats the most boring and same meals, but it paid off. His lifting schedule is like a second job and he does not miss a lifting day no matter what. Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard although he has a ton of talent too because there is no way I am lifting anywhere near this weight. He said he felt like crap, but still delivered.
