ralst Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 My wife (vegan), her training partner (recently converted to veganism), and I all competed this weekend at a local powerlifting meet. It went extremely well, with lots of PRs set by everyone. I don't have video of my wife's training partner, but I do have our lifts up online: Me: Emelia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3w5eriigTs I'm especially proud of the progress my wife has made in the last couple months.

ralst Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks all. xphilx - yeah, her last deadlift was a little too light. Her goal for the next meet is to open with 225 (her last attempt at this meet). All three of us got first place in our respective divisions. But, we were all lifting unopposed As for the squat depth, well, I can't really help it. But it's nice not to have to worry about getting called on depth by the judges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xphilx Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 i'm sure the bigger numbers for the next meet will be no problem for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganEssentials Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Great work, Ralst! Could you at least make the squat PRs look more difficult than warm-ups? Sikora is boasting about having a vegan division of Team Big Sac over on Marunde. Looks like vegans are taking over powerlifting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Ralst. great job buddy. Enjoyed watching both of those. Quick question though: Do you ever train/meet without the weight belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
