Alejandro Wickham moved the most weight at USA Powerlifting's Masters Nationals — a 917.5 kg total at 140 kg bodyweight, lifting in the 40–49 division. He also posted one of the meet's two best pound-for-pound scores — a 505.69 DOTS, all but level with a fifty-something in a far lighter class. That near-tie is the story.

The board
The heaviest totals of the weekend, by class. Total is the headline number; DOTS adjusts for bodyweight and sex — and at a masters meet it also lets a 50–59 lifter and a 40–49 lifter be measured on the same line.

Masters Nationals is contested raw, so DOTS compares the whole field on one footing. The heaviest total and the best DOTS needn't be the same lifter — and here they weren't.
