DTS trained weightlifter takes 3rd in states

Congratulations to Mike Asbate who took 3rd in states in the 169lb. division at the FHSAA  boys weightlifting finals totaling 585lbs. in the bench press (315lbs.) and clean and jerk (270lbs.) 

Mike has also been selected to Orlando Sentinel's All-Central Florida team.

Check out one of the exercises Mike used to increase his strength. Below Mike is performing a floor press with jump stretch bands, this exercise is great for developing starting strength in the bench press.
