OK I have been posting on here little over 48h :rolleyes: But it seems that people are using this subforum as an introduction area - so I will introduce myself to those I havent already met on different forums or in person at competitions this year :)
I am 23 and weigh between 63 and 66kg female. I am an ex-gymnast and never thought I would find a sport I would love as much or be prepared to commit to as much... but I have in powerlfting. I have been powerlifting for a year unequipped and started competing in May at the NW Open Unequipped. I qualified and competed at British Unequipped Champs as an U23 where I am the first female to meet the record-setting requirements for my category so I am technically a BWLA-record-holder LOL But it doenst really mean anything seeing as there was no one to beat! As of January I will be a Senior and will have to start actually competing for real! I was invited on the Welsh Women's squad at 4 Nations this weekend just past where I had a fantastic time and was greatly inspired. I am about to start moving into equipped powerlifting.
Current unequipped personal bests: squat 102.5kg (competition); bench press 65kg (touch and go in training), 147.5kg (competition).
This site has already proved itself really friendly and helpful and informative and has been added to my homepage tabs :D See you all around!
