Well, Here it is:
Bernie made a CLEAN SWEEP two years in a row at the Battle of the Great Lakes! There were a total of 85 competitors. She weighrd in at 7:00 am this morning and they were handing out awards at 9:00 pm.
It was a VERY long day!
I think her forte' was the fact that she has some experience and a LOT of motivation under her belt (an excellent trainer helps too!) Most of the other women were making simple beginners mistakes: opening too heavy, poor form, not listeing to commands from the head judge, etc. Which all played out in Bernie's favor.
First things First: New PR in her Deadlift (270) New over all Total PR (585)
Then She Won:
Best Female Bench Rep Contest (29 Reps her body weight). First Place Open 132 lb class First Place Masters Over 50 AND Of COURSE>>>>>>>>>>>
[glow=red,2,300]Best Womans OVERALL Lifter![/glow]
Yee God......Can no one put a stop to this woman? ;D
My house is starting to look like Bravehearts Armory becasue all the awards are Long Swords, Shorts Swords and Battle Axes!
VERY VERY PROUD OF HER!
Now she rests...then onto St Louis at the end of July for the RAW Nationals.
YAHOO!!!!! SHE IS DA' BOMB!!!!!!
Our Trainer, Greg Page has hopes for her to make it to Worlds...and if you ask me...she is on her way!
And just think.....I marreid her and new her when she WASN'T a Powerlifitng Champion!
I think I'm in love (again) !!!!
