Powerlifter Carlos Peterson-Grifith returned to the local platform yesterday and chalked up another top-of-the-podium performance at the Raw National Championships staged at the National Gymnasium
Petterson-Grifith, lifting in the 105kg class, showed his strength prowess without the assistance of lifting equipment, with a mammoth squat of 310kg and a bench press of 165kg.
On his way to earning the overall title with the leading IPF points, the 29-year-old set a national record in the deadlift, easily pulling 350kg off the mat. His total of 825kg was also the national record for the class.
