First Powerlifting Meet!!!
Team THC had their first PLing meet this past saturday in Barre, VT. It was a 100% RAW and AAU meet and a meet of firsts in more ways than one! Everyone who competed took home 1st place trophies with the women taking home 2 each! It was also everyone’s first meet. Congrats! We had a lot of great lifts and a lot of fun! I believe everyone PR’ed in all their lifts. Scott had an AMAZING DEADLIFT attempt at 540 but because of hitching was DQed. However, he got it off the ground and in a locked position so I give it to him! Great work everyone! Look for some articles (hopefully) from everyone about their experience and thoughts. The results are below.
