Shelby Leigh (aka the white female gorilla) is a girl that’s on fire. She had only been training with us at Team Nebobarbell for a month when she decided she wanted to do her first powerlifting meet with her Teammates in November. Done! Shelby in her first powerlifting meet went 9 for 9, 1st place victory and set numerous SPF records and became the 3rd Nebobarbell Lady to pull 300 pounds plus in competition.

Shelby also drives 45 minutes one way from Ashville, NC to train at Team Nebobarbell several times a week! Now that’s dedication. She is one of our new young guns with crazy power and limitless strength at her despoil. I can’t wait to see what she does in the next several months with more training under her belt along with the confidence she has gained from her first powerlifting meet! Here is what Shelby accomplished:

SHW - Women’s full power raw junior division
9 for 9 on attempts
1st Place women’s full power raw
PR - squat
PR - bench
PR - deadlift
PR - total

Set 12 new SPF State, National and World Records:
