Melissa Byrd - 43 years old - 132 weight class/full power raw/master and open division
I have never known anyone as determined, as dedicated, as hard working, as caring, as beautiful or as perfect as this woman. She never ceases to amaze me. She never makes excuses. She never gives up and is the toughest Lil mofo I know! Melissa inspires me everyday and makes me work harder each and everyday to become a better person.
Now as a powerlifter and her training, amplify everything I said above and times that x 10. Her accomplishments from this meet are impressive and many.
