well everything went to plan, extremely nervous until i did my first squat - just like everyone said. after that, i calmed down and got everything i aimed for and then some!
squat: 100kg, 120kg, 130kg
bench:85kg, 95kg, 102 kg (british record) then allowed a fourth attempt to beat this - andy bolton who i train with, just told me to go for 107.5kg, which i've never ever done and have been struggling on 105 in the gym due to shoulder injury. i just thought fuck it, already got a british record, might as well give it a try. went up, told myself it was 100kg and a bit, i could do it. got the bar to my chest, held it for the "press" and pressed, thought it was gonna stick and just yelled for that fucker to go up and it did - 3 white lights! so got another british record and a new pb, and it was raw ;)
deadlift: 140kg, 160kg, 170kg..which is my gym pb and by the last one i was just ..please let me get this and get 10 out of 10 lifts..was pretty tired and my lower back was a little sore but nothing serious. as soon as i got it i just ran down on to the massage bench and nailed some pro-mass.
unfortunately no other women in my weight category so i got first place in the 75kg category, but i was happy cos i was aiming for all 9 lifts, maybe a british record on the bench and definelty wanted to pull 170kg deadlift.
met some really sound people, there were 50 lifters in total and it was one hella long day. bonded even more with my powerlifting crew as the guys were all in the 125kg and 125kg+ division so i had time to roll their knee wraps up and suit them up for their lifts.
it was ace being somewhere with so much muscle everywhere and i've qualified for the british in june 11-12th. (british powerlifting congress) so having a week off, a few relaxed weeks then it's gonna be another few months of intenseness and dedication. i want to get the squat record then (150kg) i dont think this will be that hard as 130kg isnt that hard for me and im gonna get a deadlift suit and a bench shirt.
powerifting rules! :evil:
 
Utterly awesome! Sounds like it was absolutely perfect.
Congrats on the meet and congrats on the new British Record.
 
cheers for the support!
lighting in the venue was a bit shoddy, so pics are really dark plus they're too big to be loaded up and i cant seem to reduce the size by changing the format of them..?!?
 
What a tremendous showing for you! It's sure great when our hard work shows these kinds of fruits. Congratulations & Good Luck with the British!
 
I can hear your enthusiasm in the thread, you are hooked good. Isn't it fun ! You are an awsome lifter considering it is raw. You got a 300 (pounds) bench in you for sure and that is just a jump off place if you decide to go equipped. Very nice. Good luck.
 
cheers! i just got my first (inzer hd blast) bench shirt and the hardcore and max dl suits through the post today. maybe metal stuff one day but i need to start simple :)
question: i;ve been using my skateboard shoes so far for squats. just wondering what a good shoe is. at this rate it looks like im sponsored by inzer, so i dont really want to get the shoe too. any recommendations? the guys i trian with have these weird blue and white polish shoes but the smallest size is 8 and i'm a 7 usa size, 6 uk.

Everyone uses Chuck Taylor's for the most part. I'm looking into getting some high top vans (old school) to break away from the norm.

I would stay away from expensive "powerlifting / squat" shoes, you need something with a solid sole that has support on the outside so your feet don't tend to roll over the edge. Something with some support but not too much support.
