Wow, old thread!
I will be competing in the IPA World Championship in 4 weeks. I will be training at Westside this Friday, hoping to get some last minute help with my squat from the big dawgs, and then I'm training with the Metal Militia Crew in PA this Saturday to get some last minute bench help too. So, projections would be kinda hard at this point.
I'll be competing as a 198, which means I will need 1168 to total Elite as a Pro in the IPA. I will probably open with a 360 squat, 250 bench, and a 385 deadlift. My 2nd and 3rd attempts are still up in the air. I try to go for a 10 pound PR on my second attempt, and go for broke on the 3rd attempt. We'll see....

Thanks, Makedah, and good luck with your comeback. Keep us posted!
Speaking of strong chicks, there is a woman on the boards who lifts as much (or more) than me, and weighs about 40 pounds less. Maybe she'll stop in and tell you about her numbers.
If I recall correctly, she has a 405 squat, a 220 bench, and a 435 deadlift @ a bodyweight of 148. Incidentally, she's also a sweetheart and drop dead gorgeous (yeah, yeah, yeah...icing on the cake).

Aww, thanks Yep, those are my numbers. I'm going on 8 years powerlifting now. My next comp will be in October. I'll be gearing up for Women's Nationals in January. It's gonna be cold one in Nebraska next year!
Spatts, keep us posted on how your training for the meet is going. I know you're gonna move some serious weight!

Aww ... That's so sweet ... the BB's/figures oohing over how STRONG the PL's are, and the PL's telling the BB's/figures how GORGEOUS they look
But I agree on both counts! BG, WOW, I would LOVE to watch those lifts - I've had the privilege of watching some PL's prep for an upcoming comp., and it's somehow .. I ounno - it just gives me this weird sense of satisfaction when they complete the lift.
And JJ - you DO look utterly gorgeous
As for stackig up in strength, - well, I just like to stand next to the stack and hope my height covers for my lifts
