Quirk Earns Weightlifting Honors

Quirk Earns Weightlifting Honors

Shaun Quirk, a member of Livingston High School’s Class of 2023, earned weightlifting honors at the end of the spring season, etching his name into the Big Three board.

The Big Three board was brought to Livingston High School by former teachers and coaches Ed Purdy and Bob Keenan after attending a strength and conditioning conference at the United States Air Force Academy. To earn a spot on the board, students must complete calculated maxes of four to six reps of the following three exercises: bench press, back squat, and power clean. The sum of these three maxes then gets multiplied by the student’s Schwartz Power Index, a number that reflects their body weight for a measure of pound-for-pound strength. The minimum score needed to be on the board is 500.
