(WTVM) &#8211; There is a lot on most kids plates, but for one local 13 year-old, his plates weigh more than 1,000 pounds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Nash Earwood, also known as \u2018Big Nash\u2019 broke the powerlifting state record for bench press, deadlift, squat and total weight at the Georgia Powerlifting State Championships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">You may remember Big Nash when he unofficially broke the Georgia State record for bench press while training at 4.0 Fitness in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><b>SEE BELOW:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Six months later, Nash is officially the strongest 13-year-old in the state of Georgia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cDuring the competition and getting set up and everything; it was an amazing time,\u201d hesaid. \u201cEverybody was nice. That\u2019s the one thing I love about powerlifting. I\u2019s just everybody\u2019s there that\u2019s just trying to help you and make you better and give you advice if you need it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The powerlifting state championships were held in Dalton, Georgia on Feb. 13 &amp; 14. Nash described the moment he became a state record holder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt was an amazing feeling because you see your goal get accomplished and you\u2019ve made it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Big Nash is not done yet. He\u2019s preparing to compete in the Nationals in Chicago in June to become the strongest 13-year-old in the entire country. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI like to have competition with other people, you know, it makes it interesting,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut like in Dalton, I didn\u2019t really have anyone to go up against, so I was just beating my old self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Nash is aiming for 495 pounds on deadlift and squat, plus 270 on bench press. He\u2019ll have support from his coach Terrence Flowers at 4.0 Fitness to help him reach those goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cA lot of 13-year-olds that are playing video games, they\u2019re doing what 13-year-olds do. He\u2019s different,\u201d Flowers said. \u201cTo me, he\u2019s like an old man in a young man\u2019s body. When he leaves here on the weekend, a lot of times, most kids will probably be going to goof off or have fun with their friends; he\u2019s going to go dig ditches and put up fences and do work helping people in his community. He\u2019s not the typical 13-year-old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">For Coach Flowers, Nash and his parents\u2019 dedication for training holds more weight than anything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI would like to give a big shout-out to Big Nash\u2019s parents. You\u2019re looking at a kid who stays in North Columbus, who comes to South Columbus, and he is a nationwide record holder; all right here in East Columbus, straight out of Buena Vista Road. I was raised in this community. This is where my business is at and all are welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI never thought about this would ever happen, and it\u2019s just where it\u2019s led me. So, if you put the hard work and get with the right people and stay consistent with it, anything that you want will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To keep up with Big Nash and for information on training with Coach Flowers at 4.0 Fitness, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/4Point0Fit\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/4Point0Fit\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\"><i>Copyright 2026 WTVM.
