Gearing up for an RPS meet July 27th in Orlando, Fl
I'm 27 years old, painfully Canadian, and compete in the 132lb class (ranked 18th in 2018).

I knew I wanted to squat 450 or more today, but given how crazy the weekend was and how shitty I felt, I wasn't sure how it would go. My husband Seth had competed in his first competition in two years yesterday, coming back from an injury he thought had ended his powerlifting career. He had a beyond amazing meet, going 8/9 and securing a 2000lb total. Like after any powerlifting meet, we were pretty emotionally and physically drained after.
Warming up, things were moving much better than I expected. We had sushi after the meet, and I had about five pounds of bloat happening this morning... it definitely worked to my advantage. I'm getting better at handling a tight knee wrap and picking out of a monolift. Those two things are really working to my advantage and adding major lbs to my squat.
