No one wants to lose. To win, you have to gut it out and beat the only person who stands in your way: You. Each meet is an opportunity to see how far you've come and what kind of progress you've made. That's what it's all about. That's Garrett "GUNZ" Griffin's philosophy. In this chapter covering the Raw Unity Meet VII powerlifting event, GUNZ attempts to make weight. But in order to do so, he'll need to drop at least 7 pounds before the next day's weigh ins. If he succeeds, he'll be competing against some of the best in the world, including the current all-time world record holder in the 198-pound class.
