Hi, I'm Liz. I'm a derby girl turned powerlifter. My derby name is Poison AppleBottom, and my lifting coach liked that so much he rarely calls me by my real name. I'm 25-years-old. I like picking up heavy things, horror, punk and metal music, and cats.
Current Numbers: 198 class, 5'3",
290 Squat, 120 Bench, 335 Deadlift
I can’t believe I never posted this. However, I’ve had a rough few months and my training took a hit. I can explain more later. Anyhow, I competed this past October in a local RPS meet. I took first place in the 198 open raw classic class. I also broke three New England records: squat, deadlift, and overall total.
One of my goals this year was to pull 300 for more than one rep. So. . . I pulled 325 for 2 reps. I think my wolf shirt and leather belt from #elitefts helped a little.
Here, I’m deadlifting 335 pounds, which is another 15 pound PR. This lift was extremely satisfying, despite the grinding. I just remember saying to myself “Make this move, and don’t you dare drop it.”
I’m bench pressing 120 pounds, which is 5 pounds more than my previous PR. This is my third attempt at this weight, and I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of a PR.
