Thanks, should be interesting.  It will be Rip's biggest show to date I think.  Rip time to pull out all the stops.

Yes, that's correct... One Pro Card at the North Americans, to the Overall winner.  All class winners get Pro Cards at Nationals.

One of the reasons that I want to try to do the NA's is because it's been a relatively small show for the lighter weight classes in recent years, and it's a Pro Qualifier.  In 2007, there were only two LWs.  In 2006, there was only one LW, so she showed up to compete and was automatically in the Overall competition for a Pro Card! 

As of right now, I haven't heard of any other LWs doing the NA's, but there will probably be some.  I know two MWs, one LHW, and one HW who are all doing it (one of them is Melissa Detwiller!).  The Mexican BBs always make a strong showing at the NA's too, but they are usually pretty big girls.  Assuming I could make the LWs, it could be a good opportunity for me.  But you never really know who's gonna show up until you get there! 


P.S.  Thanks Bernie and Judge.  And thanks also tigereyes... I really hope we meet in person at one of the shows this year!  We keep missing each other!  :)

Sorry the pic is blurry, that's all I got right now.  :)

Ok, so here's how it went -

SQUAT  Judging was super strict!
1.) 95 kg/209 lbs - I did it pretty much just like I did in the gym, way deeper than I needed to, got stuck a little but got it fine.  Got two redlights and didn't even realize it.  I had no idea I missed the lift, so I submitted 242 for my second attempt until someone asked me why I missed my first one, and I was like huh ???  They said I double bounced it at the bottom.  So they let me change my second attempt.
2.) 100 kg/220 lbs - I went up anyway but not as much.  I got this one, but I still got a red light from the head judge, who said that I kind of dropped my chest a little too much or something  ???
3.) 110 kg/242 lbs - three white lights.  It was only the second squat of the day so far to get three white lights.   :o

BENCH
WPF world record attempts get all three commands - start, press, and rack.  Judging was strict, and it was hard!
1.) 102.5 kg/225 lbs - three white lights.  Good Lift.  WPF World Record for the 132 weight class.   8)
2.) 110 kg/242 lbs - this was for the world record again and the USPF National record, so I had all three commands.  I pressed the weight, but I lifted my ass.  No lift.
3.) 110 kg/242 lbs - I pressed the weight, kept my ass down, but stalled it a little and got two red lights for hitching on one side.  No lift.

DEADLIFT
1.) 117.5 kg/259 lbs - Good lift.
2.) 127.5 kg/281 lbs - Good lift.  Head judge said I rolled my shoulders a bit but I don't know if I got any red flags.
3.) 137.5 kg/303 lbs - Good lift. ALL BACK.  Holy shit, I saw the video clip of this lift...as soon as I began to pull, my ass went straight up and I totally lifted the whole thing with my back, it was ridiculous.  I don't recommend deadlifting like that, my back is killing me tonight. 

So I finished off with a 242/226/303 and 771 total.  I'm happy with that, especially considering I am dieting my ass off and did tons of cardio right through the entire prep for this meet.  I am slightly disappointed about the bench because I was really close with those lifts.  The judging was tight, though, and I wasn't really looking for a gift.  Looking at the vids, I dropped my left shoulder ever so slightly.

This was the lightweight day, and there were four women competing total.  I won the women's best overall lifter for the Bench, Deadlift, and Powerlifting Nationals.  One woman pulled more than me by quite a bit, and I was really surprised to get the overall in the deadlift, but she was in the 148 weight class.

I talked to the Titan rep who was at the meet, and he ended up taking my bench shirt with him.  He pulled out a new F6 in the same size as mine, and it's unbelieveable how much that shirt is stretched.  Combine that with the fact that I lost 17 pounds, and it looks to be time for a new shirt.  I think I'm pretty lucky I got what I did out of it at this meet.  Before we get a new one, he is going to lower the neck in my F6 and tighten up the chest plate and reinforce all of the seams.  I'm psyched about that. 

Good meet, nice people, good times.  I'll post vids later.  :)

My, My Rip good job!! and congrats  8)  You really kicked some butt.  Nice work on the meet and this was your first really big PL meet.  I know you will even do better in meets to come.  Funny but many pro BB women have done some PL before they turned pro, of course Annie.  I see a pattern starting here :)  Hope the back feels better also.

Thanks guys!  I LOVED the training for this meet... would have loved it even more without the diet and cardio, but I'm already looking forward to next off-season.  I can't wait to try out a squat suit next year! 

I also think the powerlifting helped me to make some gains with my physique for bodybuilding.  You'll see what the squatting has done to my legs in the video clips.  My legs come down quite a bit when I get lean, but they are pretty damn large right now.
