Who is Patrick?
Patrick is an American-Brazilian heavy-weightlifter from Dallas, Texas. His full name is Patrick Mendes. At present, he is 31 years old.
In 2008, he began Olympic weightlifting after his coach recruited him from a local high school power championship. He disclosed his early days of training in an interview with Lift Big Eat Big. He explained,
“I committed 100% from day one, buying shoes and training 12 times a week, and under two years of training, I snatched 200kg/440lbs. Then, eventually, I hit an unofficial junior world record of 207kg/456lbs.”
