Faces of Powerlifting
This page will show you some of the most intense faces of our sport. These pictures depict hard work and effort in action to get the job done!!

This face was made by Tyler Hovland while giving his all to complete his 3rd and final deadlift attempt at the Adams Meet in 2009 - This is AWESOME...  Tyler almost looks like he could have played a role in Planet of the Apes with this amazing face. 

Nice Job Tyler

 

This face was made by Kyle Holzem while lifting at Riverdale in 2008.  This is also the famous face of Kyle "The Hulk" Holzem,  This is quite a growl Kyle...

 

This grimace was made by Leif Gregerson while lifting at the 2009 State Meet during his last squat attempt. 

 

Matt Grutza made this intense face at the 2009 State Meet while attempting a whopping 540 LB squat.  He almost looks like he is passing gas but he is not...

 


Jake Gregerson made this face lifting at the state meet.  During the deadlift, Jake was running out of gas but mustered up a bit more and "gave er" to get the attempt - This face is the mark of resiliance...

 

Coach Kenney made this face while lifting at the Badger Open Meet for the old folks.  He had sore everything for about a month after the meet.  Thanks to Tyler Hovland and Lucas Triggs for talking me into that one. 

 

Phil Rotar made this face while lifting at Necedah back in 2008.  Phil is an amazing lifter and you don't get that way without making some faces that look like this one. 

 

This face is that of Garrett Volz.  Garrett is pushing some serious weight and this face helped him achieve a new squat PR.  Nice job Garrett...

 

Tom Pappas was caught at Holmen HS making this face while trying to squat some big weight.  Tom has worked hard and his face shows his determination.
