Many of you will not remember Iron Mike, its been 10 yrs since he last graced a powerlifting platform. He was a top jr 165 pounder in the USAPL and eventually grew into a full 198 where he eventually took silver at the nationals two years in a row. His best lifts back then in single ply gear were 733 squat 562 bench and a 683 dead lift. His training lifts were even higher after his national appearance however he bombed out in his last meet where he was set to post a total somewhere over the 2100 mark!! The big total never came, see Trenton had a physique that rivaled the best in powerlifting and temptation into the world of bodybuilding became too great... so for the last ten years he's been a top amateur bodybuilder winning several titles... Now his life is coming full circle and he has returned to the platform to pick up where he left off!His first meet back was at the USPA Texas Cup this weekend and there he went raw and smoked an opener 562 squat. He missed it on his first and 2nd attempts as he was still getting his feet wet.. In the bench he made an 424 3rd attempt and 435 4th. He pulled another easy lift of 655 in the dead lift with a lot left in the tank, I can see him in the 1800's very quickly!
