We had the WNPF USA Powerlifting Championships on Saturday 7/22/06. I wasn't lifting, but I was coaching a 114lb very talented lifter I have been training for the past year. David weighed in at 111 lbs. making his class very easily. Here's the short of it:

Squat
open - 352.7 (easy)
2nd - 374.8 (easy)
3rd - 402 (looked like he smoked it, got two whites, head judge over-ruled and said he wasn't deep enough. Oh well, those are the breaks!)

Bench
open - 264.5 (easy)
2nd - 281 (missed)
3rd - 281 (missed, these should not have been this hard for him as he's made an easy 290 in training in his shirt and 265 raw. He just needs more time in this shirt.)

Deadlift
open - 402 (easy)
2nd - 429.9 (easy, this gave him his first ever elite total by 5lbs, 1069.2!)
3rd - 463 (broke the ground but didn't have the gas. After totaling elite the only thing left for him was to break 1100 and 463 was the lightest weight that could have done it. Damn kilo plates!!!)

All in all this was a great meet for David, going elite with only making 5 of 9 lifts!!!
