200 pound deadlift at SPA meet Saturday 10/19

Well I am continuing to work to try to gain muscle. I weighed in at the SPA meet and went over 105 so that shifted me to the next weight class (kind of a bummer in a way).

 

Here is my 200 pound dead lift

 

I really think that I could have done more, but that was my last attempt. Had a great day really. I squatted 185 and benched 100. I have one more powerlifting meet in December to do before I switch over in January to start prepping for fitness/figure. I think that I have gained at least 4 pounds of muscle. I have to credit Beverly International's Creatine & Mass Aminos for my success (of course training helps a great deal too!!!)

 

Keep Lifting!!! M



5th in the Nation in female powerlifting 105 lbs, master's class!!

I have been waiting a little to get to the powerlifting competition before I posted. This was my first powerlifting competition and the goal of getting involved is to build more muscle. I attended the USPA powerlifting meet October 5th, 2013 in Springfield, MO. I set 3 USPA records for my weight class & age in: Bench, Squat & Deadlift, and I am now ranked 5th in the Nation for my age & weight. I did not do as well as I wanted to on squatting. My heaviest that morning was only 171 which is a far cry from what I had been doing at the gym. I don't know what the problem was, possibly didn't warm up enough and also not really a morning person. Didn't feel that great until we were later in the day. But for my first meet overall, pretty happy.

I am planning on doing at least one more December 14th before January when I switch over to preparing for figure/fitness competitions.

Keep Lifting!!! Marci
