BC Provincial Powerlifting Championships 2012

6/19/2012

1 Comment

 
Two lifters from the Terminal City Barbell Club, Kevin and Derek, competed in the 2012 British Columbia Powerlifting Championships on June 3rd in Vancouver. Both were competing in the "unequipped" or "classic" category, meaning that they wore no special supportive equipment. Typically powerlifters wear supportive gear which adds weight to what they can lift. Our Club chooses to forego such equipment.
Three are events in a powerlifting meet: the back squat, bench press, and deadlift. Each lifter gets three attempts at each lift. The best lift which gets passed by the officials for each of the squat, bench press, and deadlift goes towards the lifter's "total." Judging is done by three officials, each of which can pass or fail a lift (usually by turning on a white or red light). Two out of three white lights makes for a "good lift." Best total wins each category.

This was Kevin's first meet. his game plan was to get all nine of his lifts and his initial goals were more aggressive than Derek's. He was aiming to set a personal record (PR) in the both the back squat and the deadlift. His first four lifts went very smoothly getting the nod from all three officials. He set a PR in the squat. After missing his second bench press he retook the same weight and got it. The first two deadlifts were challenging but went up well. On the final lift of the day he locked the deadlift out but the lift was disqualified on technical grounds. He end the day getting four lifts out of six.

The goal for Derek, this also being his first meet, was to get all nine of his lifts. He started of on a roll getting all white lights on his first three squats and tying his personal record (PR) on the last attempt. Bench press began well but it was clear on his second lift that he had hit his ceiling for the day. He missed his third attempt. All three deadlifts went up without problems and he finished the day with a PR. Derek went five lifts for six.

Kevin ended the day with a silver medal for his efforts. Derek received the gold. Both lifters took some time for easy lifting and recovery and are now back on the road to getting strong(er).

Congratulations to Kevin and Derek and thanks to all our members who came out to support them.
