Chaplin III represented United States in weightlifting in the 1990s and 2000s. He competed at 77 and 85 kilograms. He won the 2000 Junior World Championships at 77 kilograms with a 155-kilogram snatch and 187.5-kilogram clean & jerk for a total of 342.5 kilograms. Chaplin was the only American man to win a world-level event for 16 years (Clarence "CJ" Cummings won 2016 Junior Worlds).[3]
In 1999, Chaplin set the American snatch record at 77 kilograms with a 157.5-kilogram lift. In 2002, he set the 85-kilogram snatch record with a 166-kilogram lift. Both of those American records stood from when he set them until the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) re-organized the bodyweight categories in 2018.[3]
