I just went and looked up on Powerliftingwatch.com (for those that dont know, this is a website that compiles all the sanctioned meet results and lifter numbers done across the United States yearly and ranks lifters on these results), PLW American Best of the Best Lifter Rankings 2007 to Present in The Nation and was quite excited to see 2 of our Nebobarbell Ladies heading this list. This list is the best lifts made over the past 10 years in the United States from across the Nation in each weight class in either the open or masters division. This is a very exclusive lists. Huge Congradulations to these ladies and their hardwork! Not bad for a small private powerlifting gym that has only been training these two ladies for 2 years now. Here is what I found:
