Melissa Byrd - 43 years old
148 Weight Class - Women's Master - Full Power Raw
Actual weigh in body weight - 138 pounds!
Melissa just competed 4 weeks ago at The IPA Flex Lewis Classic and had the best meet of her life. 4 weeks later at The SPF Record Breakers what does she do? Hits Lifetime PR's on every lift and her total and bests her previous numbers from 4 weeks ago!
We decided to go into this meet weighing whatever she weighed and not cutting again for a second time in a month. She weighed in at a very light 138 for the 148 weight class for this meet. This made her 4th different weight class Melissa has competed at in 19 months! Amazing.
The goal was to total 700 pounds at this meet and to go 9 for 9 on attempts even though she was going all out on all of her lifts. I saw the focus of a woman on a mission today and baby you kicked ass!
Melissa has competed at:
114 weight class full power raw
123 weight class full power raw - achieved master pro elite total
132 weight class full power raw - achieved master pro elite total
148 weight class full power raw
I cant explain my pride and happiness for you Lil momma! You are a true warrior and champion. You have every excuse to not give it your all in the gym each and every week but thats not who you are.
