In 2010, Moore competed at the 2010 Colorado State Championships in Aurora, CO. Tyler placed 1st overall in the Men's High School Division and broke 5 American Records.[3]

In 2011, Moore competed at the 2011 Rocky Mountain State Games in Colorado Springs, CO.[6] This was his first International Team Qualifying Event. Tyler placed 1st overall in the Men's Sub-Jr Division and broke 3 American Records. He also was selected for the NAPF Bench Press Championships World Team.[7] At this event, Moore became the first person in his division to ever break the 1000 lbs Total Record as well as the 300 lbs Bench Press Record.[3]

In 2011, Moore competed at the 2011 Colorado State Championships in Aurora, CO. Tyler placed 1st overall in both, the Men's High School division and the Men's Open Division.[3]

Collegiate career[edit]

In 2012, Moore competed at the 2012 Rocky Mountain State Games[8] in Colorado Springs, CO. Representing Colorado State University, Tyler placed first overall in the Men's Jr Division and was selected for the 2012 NAPF Bench Press Championships World Team.

International career[edit]

Moore was invited to compete in the 2012 NAPF Bench Press Championships in Denver, CO[12] and was also given a position of the 2013 World Team for the World Games in Cali, Colombia.[13] However, Tyler was unable to compete at these events as he took a hiatus in his career to follow his dream of serving in the US Air Force and attending college at Colorado State University.

After taking two years off from competition, Moore resurfaced on the World Circuit as he took home a Gold Medal at the 2013 NAPF Bench Press Championships in Miami, FL on 23 Nov, 2013. He competed in the 66 kg weight class and lifted RAW. While he did not set any records or break his PR, Moore gave a strong showing and is now active again in powerlifting.
