Tim Moon knows he’s become an ambassador for the weight lifting community both locally and nationally. With God-given strength and a methodical workout schedule, he now hopes to attach his name atop the list of the best in the bench press during the North Georgia Ox Mover powerlifting meet Saturday at the Iron Beast Barbell, the facility where he lifts in Gainesville three times each week. “I guess I’ll have a home crowd advantage going,” said Moon, who lives in Gainesville.
