ROGER RYAN Roger William Ryan Hometown: Decatur, Illinois High School: Decatur High School Post-Secondary: Richland Community College - Decatur Nicknames: Ryano Hobbies and Interests: Iron (obviously), family (pets included), bow hunting. Lifting Background: "After being hired by the Decatur Police Department (January 1980), I found that having upper body strength made the job easier when the 'bad guy' didn't want to go to jail. I started lifting, concentrating on upper body strength. In my late-mid 30's I had a 460 lb raw bench. At the young age of 41, I tried out for the new Decatur Bears semi-pro football team. I ruptured my right ACL on the second tryout. Depressed, thinking that life was over with a bum leg and 41, I quit lifting for about 5-6 years. At 47, I started lifting again and competed for the first time in June 2003, bench only."
