Awesome Event..

I had the opportunity to go see a power lifting meet for the first time today. One of the trainers at my new gym was competing in the bench press. I, at first thought that it wouldn't be that big of a meet. In middle of the US in Omaha, Nebraska. I was way wrong. It just so happens that it occurred at Big Iron Gym, which is owned by the strongest woman in the world. That would be Becca Swanson. It was definitely a spectacle. Iron plates being tossed around like change from your pocket. 1000 + lbs squats, 900 lbs bench, and a 771 lbs deadlift. I can't imagine the training that goes in to achieving such strengths. My hats off to them. Was just another show that keeps me motivated to be better, especially when the woman were lifting many times what I could.

Hope all is having a great weekend.
