So my girlfriend was at the gym at her college, Florida Atlantic University about a week and a half ago and she saw a poster for a "powerlifting competition" that was being held that night.
She figured that it might be fun and decided to enter the contest. Weighed in at 92 lbs and lifted in the 115 lbs weight class, unequipped.
1st Attempt: 95 lbs - Easy opener
2nd Attempt: 105 lbs - Good lift
Brittney decided to stop there because the other female lifter (higher weight class) maxed at 105 lbs. She told me that she could have probably done another 10 lbs or so.
Took home a trophy for first place in the weight class and best lifter for the Female division. She won a "Intrmural Champion" t-shirt, Met-RX t-shirt, and a box of protein bars. The shirts were of course size XL so she gave them to me.
I thought it was pretty cool and she said that a few of her friends saw her in the school newpaper. Guess now if I decide to do a powerlifting meet I'll have a good training partner :)
