In 2021, he finished second at North Americans, fourth at USAs, and first at the Mike Francois Classic. As a powerlifter, he ranks in the top 25 at 198 and holds the fourth biggest squat at 198.

Recovering from a bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture, he's slowly preparing for the 2022 NPC National Championships in Orlando, Florida.

Adam Zevchik was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in sustainable plant systems with a specialization in turf grass science and a minor in business. He's the superintendent at The Golf Club at Little Turtle and manages the golf course and off-site landscape operations.

As a multi-ply powerlifter of twelve years, he has one AWPC and three WPC world titles. He holds the junior squat record in the WPC at 148. He's ranked in the top-30 all-time at 148 and 165.
