I know. How much more muscle can he hang on that frame? Can he grow into being a true 105? Regardless, it is remarkable. He is still a junior too. If he wasn’t in the Army maybe he would drop out of the IPF and get on the juice to fill out even more. Looks huge as it is.

Wow.

Dude is built to deadlift which makes his bench that much more impressive. And I agree with the Instagram comment that he probably shorted himself #40 on that squat.

Unreal.

I was just having a conversation the other day about what would be "perfect genetics" for powerlifting. Someone who's genetically predisposed to muscle growth, has excellent neuro efficiency, attachment points that provide the best leverage, while also having the anthropometry to be good at all 3 of the lifts.

...this dude might be it.

He trains at a gym with a bunch of my friends over in Virginia. The dude is a goddamn tank. It's ridiculous how much muscle he carries.

Where did you get info about Woolson going up to 105 kg division?
It seems like a good move, he is kinda lanky for a powerlifter.

Rondel Hunte is maybe the strongest guy in the 105 kg division.

Woolson said he was going up on a youtube video, I don't remember which one.

He's (woolson) listed for prime time at 105kg on usapl Instagram. He tore his adductor about a month ago but the dude is a beast and starred his way back to the platform

It was really cool to see Mikey Davis pull his third to beat Ashton. This was definitely my favorite session to watch.

Oh come on. That 377.5kg might've been RPE 7.5 - it took a moment for him to break it off the floor, but then he is pulling sumo where that's the hardest part... :P

Just nucking futs strong.
