2009 Alaska Fall Powerlifting Classic - All Lifts

All lifts from my meet. Learned that it is the lifters job to make sure the judges have no question in their mind. A cautionary tale to those who would compete in powerlifting - a below parallel squat is below parallel!

Thank you both. The 407 got red lighted, I think, for my backside coming up. I don't think it came all the way up, but my positioning is something I need to work on. Bummer, because I hit a super clean 440 in training and worked up to a "dirty" 463. On the last bench, it just mis-grooved. 407 should be rep weight for me. The squat was super close, but not convincing. Also, I want to compete nationally, so tight judging is something I should get used to. 140 more pounds to go...

They missed it because your other squats were deeper. Looked parallel to me. Nice job!

what was wrong with the first 407 bench? on the 601 dead you got a red light because your one knee may not have been locked out..... but 2 white lights is a good lift ! great job
