Team Nutri-Sport rocks it at powerlifting meet!

This past Saturday, Team Nutri-Sport competed at the NASA Iowa State Powerlifting meet. This meet had over 88 competitors from all over Iowa and the surrounding states.
The team has been training for this event for the last couple weeks and the hard work paid off. Nutri-Sport won the team title, plus there were many awesome individual performances. Most of the team either won or placed in their class. Dan Connet and Sabrina Blackledge got best overall lifters comparing weight lifted to bodyweight. Dan also set a new national record in his weight class, with an unequipped deadlift of 634lbs in the 242 class. Ryan Irwin set a national record as well, pulling a raw deadlift of 530 in the 165 class (video below).
We are planning for our next meet and setting up our next training cycles to keep improving and pushing the limits!

Yesterday the Nutri-Sport powerlifting team came in and threw some weight around. There were three individuals who hit new personal records (PRs)! Awesome job Steve, Jim and Cody! You can view these at youtube (rirwin7).
Below is my attempt at 495:
Going to work on the top end of the lift (rack pulls, good mornings, stiff leg deadlifts) as I got stuck right above my knees with 515. Not bad considering I was fighting some stomach bug…
For anyone interested, a reminder that there is a NASA powerlifting meet at the Strength Institute next Saturday in Des Moines, and the NANBF Best of the Midwest bodybuilding in Cedar Rapids next Saturday too.
