This weekend was great. On Thursday, I left in the middle of Launch Fest to go to Monroe for the State Powerlifting Meet. We went to the hotel to put our bags in our room and go to weigh-ins. It took an hour to call our school and turned out I weighed 106.8 pounds, 9 pounds more than last summer. Then we went back to the hotel and ate pizza. I only ate 2 slices of pizza. I went to sleep.
At 3:00 p.m. ,the next day, it was time to compete. I squatted 195 pounds. I benched 85 pounds. And then it came to deadlift. I was in 4th place the whole meet. I was losing by 55 pounds. The lifter in 3rd dead-lifted 235 pounds. I had to deadlift 290 pounds in order to beat him and place 3rd to break the school record in my weight class by 5 pounds. I lifted it and tied him at a total of 565 pounds. Then to break the tie they looked at the weighs of both of us and I weighed the lightest. I won 3rd in the state with the school record for deadlift in my weight class, too. This is the biggest accomplishment in my life because I can say I'm top 3 in the state in powerlifting..
Sounds like a fun weekend! Congratulations on 3rd place in the state and setting a school record for deadlift!
