Two Weeks To Go To The Worlds!!

Its two weeks to go to my World Powerlifting Championships in Evansville, Indianapolis and my numbers are looking good. I have completed the last of my heavy lifts on squat where I managed a comfortable 205kg and a 130kg which saw me struggle with the last inch from lockout but im sure I will nail that bad boy on the day of the comp. Tomorrow I'm doing my last heavy deadlift so I will update this blog as soon as I can. Next week I will just train to my opening comp weights to let the body recover in plenty of time for the big weights on the 23rd November.

Stregth Challenge!!!

So I've been challenged to a 2 day event to determine who is the stronger athlete, myself or my boyfriend Brian (I think his masculinity is being threatened). He proposes that on day one we do a raw powerlifting competition, 9 lifts with strict powerlifting rules. Day 2 will comprise of three strongman events (as yet to be determined). He is still a bit sore about me kicking his arse in the car carry event at the Dumfries and Galloway Comp where I beat him by 8 seconds so he feels he has a point to prove and to restore some pride!! His ass is mine!!!

Road to the Worlds 2008!!

So it's three weeks to go until my WDFPF World Championships in Evansville, Indianapolis and training is going to plan. I feel as though I have a point to prove as I was unable to compete in the World Championships last year as I had just had what turned out to be pointless and needless surgery and unfortunately bombed at the Worlds in 2006 due to poor advice and management from my former coach. An invaluable lesson that i've learned and definitely something that I will never do again. I'm pretty much back to full fitness and still have two weeks left of training left before my comp. My numbers are up and i'm feeling in good shape so I hope to produce something special on the day so watch this space!!!
