Interview with Preston Turner

I first saw Preston at the 2010 Texas State and he’s…grown a bit. Now he’s 19 years old and kicking ass in USA Powerlifting. He’s a 120kg/264 lb lifter who competes in single-ply gear and has recently squatted 821 and deadlifted 650 at Junior Worlds. His raw bench is about 550. He ended up benching 300kg/661 at the bench only meet on Sunday and missed a second attempt 312.5/688.94.

Preston is friggin’ stout, and he’s a really nice guy. Again, there are a lot of good people in powerlifting. Keep training hard, Preston, and good luck.

  1. From the neck up he looks like he’d be a chubby skater or something, then you pan out a bit and he’s terrifying.

    No, he’s pretty solid.
