Pat Susco's Living Room Gym

     “Today, we have title winners that come and go. Many young men and women with unbelieveable potential exit early because they don’t want to be a “powerlifter” if it means not having a chance at a world or even a national championship but in a few short years. The unknown masses, and those a bit better who had recognition a number of years ago, lifted the massive iron because they loved to do so and cared little for the opinion of others. They often were the spark plug for the sport in their particular city, neighborhood, or rural area. They were the ones most often credited in the local papers by the high school football coach or players with “giving us a greal deal of help”, or starting a youngster in strength training. They took the time to nature the progress of others as carefully as their own. In short, they were involved, with as much meaning as the word can possibly impart."

     "Pat Susco is well described in the aforementioned praise. Of all of the lifters in our New York area, he is above all others, the Pied Piper of Powerlifting.”   Dr. Ken Leistner, PL USA

     The above article and photograph were written and taken almost 20 years ago. Times have changed but Pat Susco hasn’t. At 57 years young, Pat is still lifting serious numbers and still bringing in and training new, clueless talent. This website is a dedication to Pat’s current efforts at his Living Room Gym and the people that are influenced by his talent and love for the sport. – Sabre
