Jordan Mica’s performance at the powerlifting meet
Firstly, the 51.3 kilograms Jordan was the only powerlifting in his division. So he decided to make the most of the situation and break every state record prevailing. Moreover, since he was in the raw division, he could only use a lifting belt, knee sleeves, and wrist wraps.

Jordan Mica once lifted a 185-pound deadlift beltless
10-year-old Jordan Mica has consistently performed like a champion. Recently, before the USAPL, Jordan’s parent/manager shared a video of him lifting 185 pounds deadlift without a belt.
