Fife High School is the alumni of my friend Ali McWeeney. She was competing in the Bench Press & Deadlift portion of this contest.
Well, I was able to win my class and walk away with 3 state records in the Squat (650 lbs), Deadlift (606 lbs) and Total (1664 lbs). I also won the "Best Open Male Lifter" award and just missed the "Best Overall Male Lifter" which I am MAD at myself for not winning.
Apparently, I missed winning that award by a couple of kilos. If I had a better Bench Press or Deadlifted a higher 3rd attempt, I may have won that award.
Oh well, live and learn. Its been 10 years since I have been on a USAPL Powerlifting platform. Maybe, I will do another contest next year and improve on those lifts.
A big mahalo to my wife & daughters, Louie Floresca and Breck Gault who were there cheering me on in my lifts!
Much aloha,
Grant Higa Bulky Boy strongman team
