In this 252nd episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, AJ Roberts joins us. Welcome back, AJ!

AJ Roberts grew up in Southampton, England, and moved to the United States to pursue a college basketball scholarship when he was 16. He attended the University of Idaho, where he volunteered in the weight room and began training and competing in powerlifting with all-time squat record holder Brent Mikesell.

These experiences eventually led AJ to move to Columbus, Ohio, to train at Westside full-time. His best-equipped total to date is a 2855-pound total with a 1205 squat, 910 bench, and 815 deadlift. UPDATE: AJ's bench is now at 931.5lbs @308, which gives him a top-10 bench for the year.
