Powerlifting

This past weekend I had 4 lifters compete in the Southern Powerlifting Federation’s Middle Tennessee Powerlifting Championships. For 2 of my lifters this was their first meet. Kelly placed 3rd in the 148 women’s class and 2nd in the 148 sub-masters women’s class. She did a great job for her first meet and I expect to see her numbers continue to rise.



Todd did a great job in his first competition. Todd started training with me and picked up his first weight since high school just a little over a year ago. Talk about some great progress in the past year. We haven’t even been deadlifting a full year yet and he is in the mid 300’s. Todd has the mentality it takes to be a great athlete. It is his attitude and drive that has made his progress so fast. Todd placed 1st in the sub-masters men’s 181 class.



This was Laura’s second powerlifting meet. Laura had a great day hitting a PR on squat and deadlift. She also set the SPF squat record at 200 (broke it by 15 pounds). She actually hit a 205 squat on her third attempt but she missed the judge’s squat call so it didn’t count.



Parker had a great day as well. Parker has been competing in powerlifting for about 2years now (training for 3 years). Parker hit a meet PR on squat and bench press. He also had a strong deadlift to finish up the day. Parker finished first in the teen 16-17 181 class.



I would like to congratulate everyone on this meet. It was a long day and there where a ton of lifters. I was proud to see such a strong showing by my lifters and great sportsmanship among all.
