Today, I registered for my first powerlifting meet. It is in Iowa this coming July.
I never would have believed I’d be doing this if you told me in high school. What I mean by that is lifting the sort of weights I am working on in gear. Those numbers seem mind-blowing from the perspective of even 20-something me.
Back in high school, I remember the kid who just wanted to get to 315lbs on bench. These days I can more than double that weight!
My goal for this meet is to break my age and weight class record in drug-tested geared bench. To do that, I will have to press over 633lbs. It is a real possibility.
I am so grateful for this sport and hobby. It is good to have something outside of work to pursue.
PS I decided I would just do a post today for fun. There is life after divorcing a cheater. And I would say that life is much better sans-cheater!
