For Nick Roman, life has always been about one thing, destroying mediocrity.  As a standout for GlenOak High School in Canton, Ohio Nick earned 2nd team All-Ohio as a linebacker on the state ranked Golden Eagle football team.  However, football was not the only sport that Nick excelled in.  He was a standout catcher on the baseball team and finished second in the OHSAA State wrestling tournament as 215 pound senior.  From High School, Nick accepted a scholarship to play football for Walsh University and that is when his conflict began.  The gritty fortitude that weight training required consumed Nick more than any thing he had ever been a part of and after just two seasons, Nick chose to step away from the gridiron to concentrate on his new found passion...Powerlifting.
  In his first sanctioned action, the IPA Iron House Open, Nick nailed a 705 squat, hit a 455 bench press and then pulled an incredible 755 pound Junior World Record on his second deadlift attempt.  Two lifts later, on a granted 4th attempt, Nick destroyed the unthinkable nailing an 800 pound deadlift becoming one of the biggest Junior deadlifters of all-time.  Since the meet, Nick has been driven more than ever toward his new goal, Roman Voroshylin's 821 at 242 as a Junior, the lift thought to be the biggest 242 Junior deadlift of all-time.  With the desire to become the best ever, Nick will not be stopping anytime soon.  He is slated to become a staple in the deadlift world for a long time to come, and at just 21 years old, there is no limit to what he can accomplish. 
  Nick would like to thank APT PRO WRISTSTRAPS for their constant support and for providing quality training and competition gear enabling him to challenge the biggest deadlifts in the world.  It is a matter of time before he is challenging the 900 pound barrier.
