About Chris :Started competing at 16,in a bench press contest. I weighed in at 192 went 1 for 3 and benched 340 no shirt. At the same meet was a short guy named Chris Confessore he weighed 181 .. I never saw a man so huge and so short. But that day was the beginning of my lifting career. I saw this short massive guy stomp up to the bench and proceed to lift a world record attempt of 600+ lbs. At that moment I knew what I wanted . I wanted to become the best and to one day be as good as Chris Confessore. For those who don't know Chris still owns the world record at 242 with a massive bench of 741 lbs. I started doing full meets in 1995. I'm curently in training for the 1999 APF senior nationals where I hope to break the 2000 total ...
