Bros vs Pros XI: Grudge Match, The Wrapup
Written by Bryan Hildebrand
 |
Another Bros vs Pros is in the books and as they say, the show just keeps getting better. This event had been labeled a guaranteed success based solely on the premise that one of the strongest men walking the planet in Derek Poundstone, was competing in the middle of his training season, meaning he was in full power mode and should be unbeatable in the Mens 405lbs for Reps deadlift. On the flip side of that coin was a proven Bros vs Pros multiple time deadlift champion in the younger Mark Lerch. A handful of brave men knew what they were facing in these two, but threw their names in the hat for the opportunity at taking home $2,000.
As we worked our way through the pack, there were a few quality trained athletes who put up solid numbers in the upper teens and a newcomer from Coco Beach Florida who knocked out 32 solid reps before succumbing to the empty tank so many guys felt in the 100+ degree humidity. Because we were at Derek’s Poundstone Performance Training Center, Derek had the choice of when he wanted to make his attempt. Derek opted to go last which forced Lerch to the bar and go ‘til he couldn’t go no more! |
Mark stepped up to a cheering crowd. He had pulled a record 37 reps in Chicago last December at Bros vs Pros IX and many wondered could he repeat his performance in the brutal Connecticut humidity? Mark was laser focused and as he strapped in, it was clear he knew he would be crowned champion. He stood tall on his first rep, took a deep breath and went to work, one after another after another. He passed 10, 20, 25... 30 and with a slight pause, gathered his senses and ground out another and another when he finally couldn’t go anymore, his total ended with a screaming 43 reps!�
