Barbara competed at the Powerlifting America Ascension Classic this weekend at
She came away with a 350kg total and went 9/9, a complete turn around from her comp in December!
SQUAT 3/3 135kg
Barbara proved her scrappiness making this lift to comp standard even while getting a bit rocked in the hole. We have been working hard to squat to depth and practice commands and she made it all happen when it counted!
BENCH 3/3 65kg
This was another lift where we had to work hard to get to comp standard. Pausing and keeping her glutes on the bench were a challenge when we started working together In January. All of the hard work paid off; she pressed out 65kg at the easiest RPE I have seen from her!
DEADLIFT 3/3 150kg
A beautiful all time PR to round out the day! deadlifts had been super hit or miss in the last couple weeks leading up to comp but as I always say “trust the taper” and good things will happen on the platform!
Loved coaching Barbara at her first comp and can’t wait for more with her🫶🏼💪🏼
