Here is my gf at our last meet. 345 on the bar.
Congrats to her and to you. Nice pull. It’s also a rare achievement to find a significant other who shares your passions.
Awesome!!
Age/weight?
A 710lb raw total in the 148lb class is a master total (based on the 100% RAW classifications). Only 63lbs more and she’ll have an elite total!
Thanks! I didn’t realize my total was that good. It was my first time competing in the 148lb class, generally I am in the 132lb class.

I wish I could sumo like that, my flexibility isn’t good enough like that though…envy sigh
If you have any training ideas to strengthen my deadlift lock out, please let me know.

Girls tend to be more quad dominant than guys, so you’ll need to really focus on keeping your weight on your heels at the start of the lift. This will keep the bar close to your body and make a lockout easier at the top.
Lockout tends to be all glute/hip strength. Pull-throughs, Zercher Squats, Wide Stance Good Mornings will all help with the lockout.
awesome!
Nicely done! Will you be coming to Women’s Nationals?

Thank you! I am not sure about Women’s Nationals but I will most likely compete at Raw Nationals in July.
