Member Spotlight: Adam Hasty

Adam Hasty has been a raw powerlifter at the Ogre compound for two years and has transitioned to single-ply equipped bench pressing six months ago. Making the segway into equipped powerlifting is never easy, and for Adam, the bench shirt has been a natural evolution. Coach Wade fully expects for Adam to be an American Record Holder after his next meet. Adam is competing in the 82.5kg Open and M1 single-ply Bench Press single-lift divisions at the USPA Drug Tested Kentucky State Championship in Franklin, Kentucky on Saturday June 27, 2020. Adam holds the USAPL Tennessee State M1 83kg bench record and the USPA Tennessee record for M1 82.5kg squat, bench, deadlift, and total. 

Adam says his favorite thing about being an Ogre is the team and the sense of camaraderie. He says, “Training alongside everyone from world championships to new lifters just starting out in strength sports. Everyone cheers each other on." 

Adam's best lifts are 162.5kgs/ 358 lbs Raw Squat, 142.5 kgs/315 lbs Raw Bench, 177.5 kgs/391lbs Single-Ply Bench, 210 kgs/253 lbs Raw Deadlift, and 495 kg/1091 lbs Raw Total. 

Favorite coach's quote: " Chalk up and do it again"
