Kirk Karwoski
The greatest 125 kg (275 lb.) champion of all time! During Captain Kirk's reign, he increased the World Record in the squat by 100 lbs. from 903 lbs. to 1003 lbs. and increased the total record from 2204 lbs. to 2309 lbs. Although best known for his squat, Captain Kirk combined it with 550 lb.+ benches and 770 lb. + deadlifts. Together his 3 lifts often left the competition trailing by 100 - 200 lbs.! The Captain is often remembered as one of the most entertaining and funniest guys on the World Teams. However, Kirk was all business when it came to lifting. He was a leader both in spirit and in actions. He cheered his teammates on, helped coach them, and was a very visible and vocal presence both on and off the platform. Most of all, Kirk, displayed strength of character and conviction. When unification was proposed Kirk was one of the superstars who lent his support to the effort. He looked to the future and the betterment of the sport. While now retired as a lifter, Captain Kirk still trains heavy …. Very heavy. He is active as a coach for girlfriend and National Champion Sioux-Z Hartwig as well as a coach for USAPL's Women's World Team. One look at the Captain makes one wonder if he won't be back on the platform soon. We're sure that many a 275 lber prays that he'll stay retired.
