181 Weight Class - Women's Sub Master - Full Power Raw

Erica walked through our doors in August this year, 6 weeks later she competed in her very first powerlifting meet. 4 weeks after that she competed in her second powerlifting meet. 2 powerlifting meets with only 10 weeks of training! That has to be a record at our gym!
4 weeks ago she was a deer in headlights, 4 weeks later she got control of her emotions, got focused and overcame her nervousness and kicked some ass. Erica went 8 for 9 at this meet and killed it.
Erica is a great asset to our Team. She is funny, on time, committed, loyal, listens and is a fun to train with. It’s always a pleasure adding a great person to our Team/Family. We love us some Erica!
I’m a very proud of you sweetheart. You did great at this meet. You lifted with confidence and without fear. I cannot wait to watch you compete again next year! We love you and are so glad to have you with us!
