This is some amazing stuff, what is the male record for the 165 lb class?

[Jason]

Not sure what the male record is, but yeah Laura is amazing! Just got the bench numbers... Laura got 352 and Becca got 523! Just the squat is left.

Becca has 1377 through 2 lifts, with her goal of 2000, needs at least a 624 DL to break her goal!
Laura has 1035 through 2 lifts, with her goal of 1500, needs at least a 466 DL to break her goal!

[Mike]

Just got word she pulled 673, for a 2050 total! :eek:

[Jason]

Thanks for the update Mike! Becca is absolutely awesome!! Laura got a 468 DL and ended up with 1503 surpassing her goal as well!! Fantastic Job girls!!! Now off to Finland for Becca, to represent the US and female lifters!

Amazing lifts by both but particularly Laura, a girl who is in her early 20's and just started lifting 2 years ago. I just can't believe the progress she has made. :eek: it baffles my mind.

[Jason]

Laura is doing some amazing things! She turned 25 this yr and has been PL seriously for about 1 yr!

Laura's totals were 683 squat, 352 bench and a 468 deadlift totaling 1503!

Becca's numbers were 854 squat, 523 bench and a 672 deadlift totaling 2049!

I want to the results of her week by week and month by month strength development. I wonder what they were thunking when they charted her progress. Can she bench that much without a bench shirt?

I still have a hard time believing this young and small girl bench presses 350 pounds. Just impressive. It took me several years to break the 300 pound barrier. And she just started lifting 2 years ago which would be 2003. Just a freak of human nature. And i mean that with shock, awe and respect.

haha That makes 2 of us! On another board it says she attempted 705 but, just missed it!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

http:www.irontrybe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35011

She competed in the 165lb class so, i think she's about 40lbs or so heavier than her contest shape pics posted here. Who knows, maybe she'll get invited to lift at the 2006 Arnold??

I'm not sure if a video was taken by the promoter/organizers or not? Hopefully she had some pics taken or at least someone there did?

[LauraP]

Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!! Everyone! It was a very exciting weekend! Here is a link to a video of my last 2 attempts on squat over the weekend:

I am crossing my fingers in hopes that my next stop will be the Arnold Classic! It would be such an honor to lift on that platform! If so, my goal is to go well over 700 on squat (and join becca as only second woman in history to ever squat over 700 pounds) and total over 1600 pounds. I am 5 months into my powerlifting career, and I cannot wait to see what will happen in the next five months! Thank you sooooo much, again, everyone!!!! : )

rock on Laura :)

[Liftingchic]

Awesome Laura.. Great stuff! nice to see some fbbs come to powerlifting on the offseason :)

[Liftingchic]

nice video too! do you like your canvas suit? have you only used inzers?

just wondering.. b/c i am about to buy a frantz canvas suit. and wondered if inzer is better

[LauraP]

I love my Inzer canvas, I really do. I will be getting one that fits pretty soon, as I have been picked up by Inzer for sponsorship! I wear an Inzer Rage X for bench. At the meet I wore the Frantz canvas for deadlift but I will by switching to an Inzer poly. Canvas was no good for me on deadlift.

Awesome..congrats on the inzer sponsorship! thats great! I dont know too many people that pull in canvas i know one that pulls in denim. I am just going to go with briefs for pulling.. i dont feel a suit would give me much.
