 Test, we are live this is Matt Reynolds coming to you from you got a good fun angle for you not the angle I would use for coaching but you'll get to see, so yeah if you're listening everything sounds fine give me a thumbs up let me know how it sounds I'm loud in my headphones but I can I've got a lot of gain I can turn up on the mic I'm here mostly alone today I'm gonna do this on my own and I'll bring in some get Mr. Schell can you hear me okay test test on the volume if you can hear me well on the live feed SSS checking the volume here with the live feed coming from the strength parlor in St. Louis, Missouri in five six minutes perfect but yes perfect but yes hear me fun day got about 30 lifters so it should run relatively smooth and quick I don't think you too I would love to flip that camera so that it banners didn't read backwards what are you gonna do you too automatically does that sorry about the internet occasionally freezing it looks fine on my end and we'll record fine and then we'll post this after the live feed so that the lifters and their families can actually have access to their their lifts if it froze up during life feed I think it'll still post without the freezing great hot spot off my phone if I need to but I think it's slightly faster than Jim last year we had some times when the internet dropped off if it does and kicks me off I'll have to start a new live feed a new URL but I think I have put in some protection for that so even the video freezes for a bit with the audio and then when it comes the internet comes back it should pick back up so I think we should be good with a single live feed this time around last year had a little bit of technical difficulties but I think we're first flight I believe is female only or at least lightweight so I think it's female only powerlifting squats followed by male powerlifting squats followed and then they will do strength lifting so strength lifting is the press and the deadlift so then our and by the first flight females only or females in okay confirmed are your female powerlifting competitors so these are the competitors are going to squat bench press and deadlift and on deadlift they do have the option because it's powerlifting to deadlift either conventional or sumo strength lifting is just press and deadlift deadlift for strength lifting competitors is conventional only we do have a few people who are doing both do for the option I haven't heard this before and I don't know if anyone will use it but we'll see they could option I haven't heard this before and I don't know if anyone will use it but we'll see they could potentially deadlift conventional for strength lifting they come back and actually deadlift sumo for powerlifting to replace that deadlift for strength of their powerlifting as well next 60 seconds or so we'll get going you can see people walking under the camera we're hoping that people don't bump it they probably will at some point I'll adjust if they do all right first lift here is Teresa Norman 60 kilos 132 pounds just under 135 it's a fun view again nice clean walk back here nice smooth lift definitely white lights there verify three whites all is good good start to the day for those of you listening I'd like to bring some lifters in because we've got uh powerlifting that I actually love to bring them on for a couple minutes if they feel okay if they had a good day and and talk to them for a few minutes if somebody you want to hear from let me know this is Colleen Sweeney this is 61 nice deep squat was great all white lights again nice job good work so again for families that are watching we've got a professional photographer here in the front row you can't quite see him rick miller photography he will he's taking fantastic pictures of all of the lifters and we'll post them on his website on rick miller photography for purchase after the meat banners 61 kilos 178 179 pounds again a master's lifter cody millers on the mic you might hear him some cody millers the owner of strength parlor here it's one of the best gyms in the country like an old training hall that's been it's been done up with you know pallet wood and there's a lot of corrugated metal and pallet again 81 kilos here for Denise just got those big spd knee sleeves on got some of those in last week man those are stiff knee sleeves excellent squat looks great from the side i keep losing the internet keeps going down well some bars loaded here for kelly graham 93 kilos is 205 205 for kelly 93 kilos really good lift for kelly there nice and deep that was a good one and then we're back to the top next lifter is ann davin for this 95 kilos 210 it's a lightweight lifter under 140 pounds master's lightweight again 95 kilos here for ann pretty good right at and white lights all good good lift it says thanks joe they've got the same view the judges do nice deep squats perfect lift there it's gonna be three white lights for sure got it back in the rack no problem it's three whites good job for Katie for powerlifting today Teresa is going to be up here for her second squat 65 kilos again master's middleweight spotters and loaders are loading the bar bars loaded got about a two minute wait just they're about to start second attempts here but they're actually going to give Teresa a little bit of time between our first lift and second lift since the first flight is pretty small where they get a little more rest between your lifts so they're taking a the first lifts of the first flight and the second lifts of the first flight three whites all is good for Teresa there again hang on if it's freezing what i'm going to do at the end of this flight is i will switch over to myself to my cell phone all hot spot see if it's a little quicker or other options koji's gonna let people know they're not coming next lifter here is Colleen her second squat 65 white light she is good from the side that was right at parallel good to the judges again we'll have some guests on through a whiskey and meat shop butcher bar is loaded here for Denise 192 pounds 87 kilos strength parlor lifter here could stand up she's got a big walk back trying to get stable let me see she's trying to stabilize there that her stance now here we go and it is three whites all good you see the flights coming a little bit late because part of the lift is to get the bar back into the rack they have to help if the spotters have to grab and that's not the case in every powerlifting federation so in the uss the power and so the judges are not just waiting until the completion of the squat but they actually walk in back to the rack and then you'll see them through the flags bar is loaded here to 100 kilos 220 pounds just over 220 this is the Ann Davenport again with her second attempt all whites so far it's a good lift to me again we'll watch I think it should be fine yep all whites all is good next lifters going to be Kelly grams 100 kilos as well 220 pounds I'm just changing the rack height here 100 kilos and then a big increase for Katie going up to 131 so we're gonna go from 100 kilos to 131 nice job for Kelly just sank it deep she got in the racks white light all is good then she could see the rack height kind of off the verticals and then had to kind of come up on her tippy toes and get it in but she was able to do that really at her own accord white lights so last of the second attempt coming up for Katie ledger here 131 kilos is 289 pounds she'll certainly go for her next attempt should this one be good good stand up smooth walk out nice smooth lift walking it in because she uprights all whites which is good what's she gonna go for on her third let me know what she should take for her third going to third attempts for the first flight again a couple minute break two minute break here before Teresa goes 52 pounds this will be the first squat of the of the third attempts for the first flight again taking this two minute break between second attempts and third attempts you have about one minute left and then they'll call call bar is loaded and just so we'll approach the bar 302 on the third is probably a good choice for Katie should be one she should be able to hit three might be a little bit too much for today and again she's trying to win national so maybe a little bit when you compete in power like you're not really competing against other people you're trying to set PRs for yourself at nationals it's a little bit different you're actually trying to win the overall and so making sure that you pocket those numbers in the early lifts which you have an opportunity to win by the time you get to the deadlift is huge bigger third attempt at a at a typical meet that she didn't care about winning as much she's going to hit PRs 302 is probably smart for her again here's Teresa on her third all whites so far this entire flight 152 pounds 69 kilos she got it out of the rack nice good grind nice and controlled walking it back in got it in the rack it's gonna be white lights nice job and again we are still all whites the entire flight so far I don't think I've seen a red flag all day all day judge is doing a great job Carl shoot head judge came in from Oklahoma again barbologic coach online great books professor homesteader farmer this is Colleen with 74 kilos for her third 163 pounds again master's lifter middleweight under 160 that might be her best spot of the day nice and deep she buried it it's gonna be all whites nice job 76 years old that is 76 years old that's amazing down to really 91 kilos it's a huge lift 76 years old Cody Miller the owner of spring parlor who is emceeing the event has informed everyone that they are to ring the bell they've got a PR bell here if they hit a big PR so she's gonna ring that bell for that big PR again here's Denise coming up 91 kilos 200 pounds again a little bit of an unstable walk out she did this last time and she got her stance underneath her and had no problem squatting the weight 91 kilos a little over 200 pounds oh nice squat made just a perfect bounce again watching from the side it's wild big PR there again for a little bit of an unstable walk out it's a fantastic squat perfectly controlled lifters and Davenport 105 kilos 231 pounds again master's lifter but she's under 140 so approaching a double body weight so approaching a double body weights got it got that squat walking it in under control sets it down to check the lift all whites good lift that's a big PR for her you guys this is Kelly with 231 again 105 same weight on the bar walking it out walking it back and again sinks it super smooth she left some on the platform that was an easy squat nice job 231 pounds last lifter of the flight Katie Ledger initial numbers here if you all would let me know too after the end of the flight I'll give it just a minute if you want me to switch over to my here we go as Katie 302 pounds middleweight open under 180 probably quite a bit under 180 but she's she's fairly tall oh wow that's a great fantastic she's good she got two whites and one red that's the only red flag thrown the entire flight that was three for three for every perfect powerlifting start to the day all right so I'm here and it's freezing over I listen I am going I'll make a post to I'll type this but I'm going to keep it running it'll probably buffer for a minute we're going to switch over to my to my come right back to the YouTube channel we'll create a new stream and go it'll take me just a minute to do it we'll see how it goes
