Good Friday was indeed a great day for Yarnell "BigBeast" Marks. As a guest squatter for an unsanctioned fundraiser for a local high school powerlifting team, Marks hit 580lbs & 650lbs in a single ply suit (the exact suit the team compete in). The fundraiser raised over $1000 for the 16 lifters (8 guys 8 girls) of Bruce Trojans of Bruce MS. With only 10 days of training in the suit the lift ignited a crowd of athletes coaches and fans. Marks will resume raw training as he prepared for USPA MS OPEN in Hattiesburg Ms May 30 And then off to Vegas July 11 for USPA Nationals. His body weight on this day was 193lbs
