Results from Seattle: 810 lb. total!!

Just got home, and I'm thankful to say... I busted 800 and got three state records, personal records, and almost had another perfect meet, grabbing 8 for 9!!!

Here's a brief news report with my meet results from yesterday at the USAPL YMCA Summer Power Classic in Seattle!

SQUAT: 292
BENCH PRESS: 193
DEADLIFT: 325 (missed 342)
TOTAL: 810!!

If you're wondering how in the world I added 17 lbs. to my best competition bench, which I had been stuck with for literally YEARS... that was Kevin's incredible coaching!! (I didn't even know what I had actually benched until AFTER I did it.)

Here's a video of that 292 lb. squat, my third attempt:



And a video of my 253 lb. squat opener: [added 6/30/09]



More details, pics and videos to be added... please check back soon. Thanks very much!

Next Meet: This Saturday in Seattle

I guess the word got out via PowerliftingWatch.com today, LOL. Jon asked me when my next meet would be, and I told him that I'd let him know what happens after the meet.

Next thing I know... I am on Powerlifting Watch... complete with my training vids!

Thanks to everyone for their support. I've never visited Seattle before, and I will have Kevin Stewart as my handler/coach for the day -- should be a blast!! I heard there will be 60+ lifters, two sessions at the USAPL YMCA Seattle Summer Classic.

2009 RANKINGS on POWERLIFTING WATCH

Powerlifting Watch publishes up-to-date men's and women's powerlifting rankings, encompassing all organizations and gear divisions across the U.S.

This is the place to obtain the most current 2009 USAPL standings -- as well as those from 2008 -- as USAPL has discontinued using its previous rankings database and Powerlines meet results listings.

By choosing "single-ply" from the "equipment" selection, USAPL rankings can be drawn from the Powerlifting Watch database, as each listing includes full lifter name, date of lift, and federation/organization in which it was accomplished. Even a link to a video of the lift is provided, where available!

In the latest 2009 Women's standings among Top 105 Class Lifters, competing in single-ply gear, here are the top three for each lift:
