| SOELDEN, AUSTRIA
Ironville Clothing Co. was again proud to sponsor Team USA powerlifter Jason Beck as he went for the Gold in the 100 kg (220 lb.) weight class. Aside from throwing around some massive iron, Jason was also able to take in some sights and sample some fine lagers with fellow lifters and old friends following his much awaited show of power.

| GOING DOWN!
They say it's lonely at the top...
|
|
| GOING UP!
Well, the bottom aint' no picnic either. Jason's always impressive squat garnered 3rd place honors at a whopping 365 kg, or, 804 lbs.! Impeccable form and impressive depth, as always...

| GOLD METAL PUSH
Want some gold? Well, chew on this: Jason's first place benchpress dialed in at an astonishing 270 kg, or to you and me, 594 lbs.! That just aint' right...

| THE DEADLIFT
A bar-bending pull of 320 kg. (704 lbs) wasn't quite a personal best for Jason, but it did factor in to a total that only Jason can achieve for Team USA.

| BATTLE WOUNDS
You know you're hoisting some serious weight when your skin gives out before your grip does. It takes a true IRON MAN like Jason to endure such gashes on the heavy road to a monster total.

| IRON GANG
Jason Beck and fellow USA teammate, Wade Hooper, clown and pose with friends for quick pic. Hooper finished with an impressive second place total of 830 kg, or, 1826 lbs. in the 75 kg. weight class.

| POWERFUL PUSHERS
Jason with pal and renowned benchpress legend, Markus Schick, enjoy a cold one following the IPF Worlds.

| 100% US IRON
A gold metal bench and a bronze metal squat placed Jason at 4th in the 100 kg. class. It also helped add to an impressive 2nd place finish for Team USAPL. Goes to show how critical each lift really is. Not to mention the countless hours spent training to achieve such standing on a global scale. But hey, another year is in the books and Jason is already back to the drawing boards, err, garage. It won't be long and we'll be gearing up to support Jason and Team USA on another quest for gold.
