I am 45 years old married with 5 children. I work as Therapist on a Phsyic Unit. I have lifted off and on for at least 20 years. In 2000 I entered a bench press contest just for grins and boom I was hooked. I immediately changed from a semi body building no real clearcut direction or goal type workout to powerlifting. I cmpeted last in May 2001 in the AAU 220 40-44 year old raw masters division. I felt terrable had to work hard to make weight and really had a subpar meet.
Due to being the only one in my age and weght class I won by default. I am currently planning to start using a gear to protect my ageing joints.
Best lifts:
Squat 450x2 raw (haven't maxed yet with a suit)
Bench 325 with pause 375 touch and go again raw
Deadlift 450 I am really struggleing with my deadlift.
I plan on entering the NASA masters nationals in Nashville this summer and use the time in between to start to get used to lifting in gear.
