Back to POWERLIFTING
Ok gang...
I am really gonna ask for some support here.
Yesterday, I started my powerlifting training again. 
I took my measurements and man! I couldn't believe it.
Now if I could only find my notebook that has my starting measurements in it!! DANG! See, that tells you how organized I am!
My goal is to compete one year from now at the Ohio State Fair Bench Press/Deadlift competition. Small competition, but good place to start. That was where I did my very first competition, so it seems fitting to start at the very beginning...wait...isn't that in a song? 
When I was a SHW I benched 200lbs, deadlifted 259 and squatted 248. If I could bench 200 at my current body weight that would be 1 and 1/3 my body weight. Do you know how many guys can't even do that? So, if I can get to where I bench 150 raw, I would be so tickled.
I would love to compete in March, but I am hoping to have my tt and breast lift in January, so that makes March a no go. That's cool though. It took me two years of training to be competition ready when I first started.
So, I may need some cheerleading every once in a while. Ya'll up to helping me out? I love Earl but he tends to think that negative reinforcement crap helps people out. It may work in football camp, but I am still a "girl" and I just don't do well with that. Ok, ok, I like to be pampered...so?
"what a girl wants, what a girl needs"
**** I need to get off here before I break into a whole broadway show!
Thanks guys! I really do appreciate it!

Thanks! Mike I am dying to see the outfit and pom poms! That would be truly special!
I really really appreciate it! I got my new notebook today and I am going to go from there.
Ok, SWH is Super Heavy Weight. Powerlifting goes by weight class like wrestling does. In the federation I lifted in NASA-Sports (which is drug free, meaning no steroids) SHW class was above 187 I think. At any rate, I was in it. They tend to change weight class ranges every now and again.
Raw means no lifting aids. For example, you can wear a bench shirt, which helps with your lifting. It creates added resistance and recoil to help you lift more. So when you are lifting raw, it is pure unadulterated strength. The bench shirt gives you that added "umpf" if you will. They have deadlift and squat suits that do the same thing. It's all about moving more metal and getting those numbers up.
I found my old measurements. OMG!!!! :-0 What a difference! I have lost (overall total) 61 inches. Is that un******greal or what? SIXTY ONE INCHES GONE!! A whole person. 20 of it off my waist alone. My spare tire is gone! (hope I don't have a flat...oh wait, I already do! 
)
There are days when I still pinch myself...OUCH (that hurts)
Hopefully with the powerlifting again I can regain more muscle definition and strength. Tighten the skin up too!
Well...back to the grind tomorrow guys! Hope your weekend was good!

OH YEAH!! Now THAT'S a cheerleading squad in my book! You gonna shave your legs for me too? ALRIGHT!!!
I want all you guys to be at the top of the pyramid,or be the flyers so I can have a sneak peek up your skirts!
Earl gets to be the "mascot" since he has the tutu!
My cheerleading daughter is telling me this is "so wrong" (gotta say that like a teen girl)
I would probably be on the light weight end (how nice is it to say that?). I figure that I will go down more once the skin is off. I would love to compete in the 140 -145 class to be sure.
