Carl Albert’s Quincy Johnson, Southmoore’s T.J. Wright set powerlifting records
Quincy Johnson and T.J. Wright bring home more powerlifting gold.
There wasn’t a more dominant powerlifter this season than Carl Albert’s Quincy Johnson. Meet after meet, Johnson was racking up the honors.
He punctuated the season last weekend by winning the national championship in the 198-pound unequipped division at the National Athlete Strength Association championships.
Johnson set the world record in the squat (518 pounds), bench (320), deadlift (524) and total (1,362). Johnson was also named the Most Outstanding Heavyweight Lifter.
Other area winners included Southmoore’s T.J. Wright in the unequipped 168-pound division and Cajun Cox of Midwest City in the equipped 168-pound division.
Wright set world records in the deadlift (573 pounds) and total (1,267). Wright won Most Outstanding Lightweight Lifter.
Unequipped means no power suits or shirts were worn. Equipped means things such as wrist wraps, knee wraps, shirts and belts are allowed.

Dear Mr Przybylo
It was nice to sse the article regarding Johnson and Wright in the blog about the accomplishments at the nasa powerlifting meet. However the article seems to apear and read as if Johnson won the belt.However Thomas Wright won the belt based on his coeif at 7.9781 lifting the squat at 435 then bench at 281 and the deadlift breaking the american and natioanl records with a dead lift at 573 pds.He was in the 168 pds group winning best light weight lifter and best deadlift lifter. There are pictures on the nasa-sports.com web site and results which may help verify I Thank you again and maybe I will see a different blog.
