WOW! Just got home and were all pumped up! Let's just cut to the chase: MY WIFE won: First Place Womens Novice First Place Womens Masters First Place MOST REPS Bench Press Womans Division OVERALL Womans Best LifterYIKES!!!.....and.....topping on the cake... [glow=red,2,300]SHE SET A NEW STATE RECORD FOR BENCH PRESS FOR WOMENS MASTERS over 40!!!!![/glow] Now...some details...no trophies...BATTLE AXES AND SWORDS! My house looks like a freaking arsenal now ;D Like Something out of Braveheart! She ALMOST set a new dead lift record too...on her second attempt she pulled 250 with no problem...current record is at 255, so she went for 260...but her hands were too far apart, and she couldn't complete the lift, but DAMN it was close! WE had a GREAT afternoon, especially with a visit from...KARRIE and her hubby! It was really GREAT to meet them both in person. Looks like Terry and I have a lot in common too. Karrie spoke with my wifes trainer and it looks like they may be stopping in to train at my gym from time to time...cool!!! Vince tried to make it down, but got tied up. Thanks for the IM VInce, and we still hope to meet up with you soon too! As always, WOTW represented There was also an official photographer there from USAPowrlifting magazine, so her pic, along with the other division winners will be in an upcoming issue of Powerlifitng magazine! This woman is unbelieveble.....and she's all mine ;D Here are a few pics just for fun...enjoy! Terry, Karrie, Frank Bernie~1st Lift at 210....Lightweight..just warmin' up! Me..Bernie...and her new set of assorted cutlery!!!

My wife sends her thanks to all who wished her well and really appreciates all the congrats!!! She has already spoken with her trainer, and she is starting her lifting training all over again, with a little higher percentages to up her weight. Her next contest will be here in Cleveland in November. She said she wants the Deadlift record at 280 lbs. I know she'll do it this time too! Last week was REALLY close! Her training partner Stephanie came in 3rd at the World Meet in the Netherlands, and her trainer, Greg, is competing in 2 weeks in Guatemala. Something tells me I better get her a passport soon Also looking forward to Karrie coming down and training with us too!...ohh...sorry...and Terry too ;D
