In the Squat category, he did 540 lbs even though he failed his last attempt at 562 lbs.
In training, he achieved 562 lbs two weeks prior to the competition. Now, he will be aiming to improve this feat next year.
Additionally, 347 lbs was his best in the bench press category which was well executed.
During his deadlift, he moved 711 lbs, which was the heaviest done that day and one of the heaviest in the entire competition, which ran for two days.
He unofficially broke the junior and open Guyana National deadlift and totals records achieving a total of 1598 lbs.
The battle was fierce between Dominic and Calixte, one of the top 83 kg juniors in France. Both achieved the exact total, but Dominic won on body weight (he was lighter 79.8kg).
Dominic placed first overall of all the open men.
