U.S. Space Force 1st Lt. Thomas Moriarty, a 48-year-old operations officer at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, set six Hawaii state powerlifting records at the 2026 USA Powerlifting Hawaii State Championship on April 25. His lifts included a 182.5 kg squat, 140 kg bench press, 215 kg deadlift, and a 537.5 kg overall total. Moriarty emphasizes that fitness is critical for military readiness and longevity. He wakes at 3 a.m. three days a week to train before duty. He also recounts mentoring an Airman who failed three fitness tests, helping him lose 26 pounds and pass through a strength-focused regimen. Moriarty is scheduled to compete at the USA Powerlifting West Regionals in Las Vegas in September, where a win would earn him a pro card and qualification for the 2027 Masters Nationals.
