The Race Is Over! Find Out Who Won the 550lb Back Squat Challenge: Adam Klink or Ben Smith?

The guys started to train in September making small improvements every day until the winner was known.

Adam Klink posted his insane 550 squat yesterday. 

Ben Smith admitted his rival got there first and takes him as a big inspiration:

“OK @adamklink you win, that was crazy!! 550# (1/3 body weight?). Got me fired up! It’s inspiring watching someone set a goal and just get after it every day! Nicely done, SIR! 🦍”

My lifetime goal is 550. Me and @adamklink both want to get to it before the other does, he hit 510 this morning and I'm just over here working on my sets… His best ever is 525, my best is 520. He is also part 🦍 and I am trying to get there. Stay tuned for more #RaceTo550 _______________________________________________________ Tag a friend and set a goal and see what happens!
