As this week draws to a close, Im getting preeeetty excited about my first-ever officially sanctioned powerlifting meet on Saturday. If youre thinking about entering one yourself, I *highly* recommend you check out this article for female lifters from Lift-Run-Bang: lift-run-bang/2014/08/a-womans-guide-to-her-first.html Im pretty much a newb on this front. Nearly four years ago to this date in 2010, I entered a just-for-fun push-pull event (bench and deadlift only) with my friend Jenn Halvorson (aka Halvo). (We werent sure if wed have to wear singlets, so we borrowed some from an All-American wrestler friend and brought them just in case. We didnt have to wear them, but we did don them for a few minutes just to cheer on the other lifters. Because we value ridiculousness, obviously.) I won best all-around lifter that day, and she won best bencher! Unfortunately, 2010 is just about the last time I benched, up until about five weeks ago.:) This weekend, the two of us are again entering the same meet in the same weight class, and I couldnt be more excited to be reunited. Since Ive been slackin on squat and bench, though, Im already planning to enter a second meet in October so I have more time to prepare.:) Lemme know: Do you have plans to enter a powerlifting meet, or if youve been there, done that, any tips for the big day?
