🌟 GEORGIA POWERLIFTING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Meet Tim Spaid—Masters 3A lifter and Georgia state record holder.

Tim started lifting at 50 and is now 60. Along the way, he has continued training after overcoming a ruptured bicep, a quad tear, extensive abdominal hernia repair, and other orthopedic injuries.

“As senior lifters, we adapt to whatever physical challenges we encounter and quietly go about putting in the work.”

That work speaks loudly. This year, Tim set every listed Georgia State Raw Masters 3A record in the -110 kg class:

🏋️ Squat: 175 kg
💪 Bench Press: 132.5 kg
💪 Bench Press Single Lift: 155 kg
🔥 Deadlift: 172.5 kg
🔥 Deadlift Single Lift: 172.5 kg
🏆 Total: 480 kg
🏆 Push-Pull Total: 305 kg

Tim’s story is proof that it is never too late to begin—and that strength has no expiration date.

Congratulations, Tim! Follow his journey at Tim Spaid and help us celebrate him in the comments. ❤️🤍💙

I love learning new accessories that can help with my lifts. One of my favorites is the single arm lat pulldown. The illiac pulldown.
