Importantly, the competition was officiated by one of the most rigorous judges, Marcin Laśkiewicz, who assessed every competitor objectively—regardless of whether he knew them personally or not.
Zbigniew Boczar:
The competition was close right to the end, but well-chosen tactics and thorough preparation led to success. Finishing first in Poland among 21 competing uniformed-service representatives—soldiers, firefighters, police officers and prison service officers—was no easy feat. Being the lightest competitor in the weight category and proving to be the best is a remarkable achievement.
The presence of his most devoted supporters, his sons Fabian and Brajan, always adds motivation to fight for the highest possible places and a spot on the podium. The joy on the faces of the twins standing with their dad on the podium, and of their mother and wife Daria, taking pictures with her phone, is worth every sacrifice and is beyond price.
And he adds:
This event—as with every other trip to a competition—is quite costly. Fortunately, there is a group of people who try to help to some extent.
Many thanks are due to CERART from Bolesławiec, the Comprehensive Physiotherapy Center from Lwówek Śląski and JAKO from Świdnica. Thanks also go to my teammates from TYTAN TEAM, especially its president Tomasz Andrzejczak; and to my colleagues from the Metroflex team, who always share their knowledge and are eager to help.
I would also like to thank my current training partner, Przemysław Andrzejczak, for helping me prepare for the competition, and Damian Jóźwiak, thanks to whom I was able to travel safely to the competition and return home.
If anyone would like to try their hand at the bench press but does not know where to start, I invite you to Fit Style Zone in Bolesławiec, where I usually train on weekends and can help them take their first steps in this increasingly popular discipline.
