Powerlifting question

[CenTexSports]

I know at least one LH poster can answer this. The district champ in the Super Heavyweight division lifted 1445#. Is this good or average?

Lopez squatted 610, benched 325, and dead lifted 510 for a combined total of 1445.

Statewide 1475 & 1445 would both be Top 10 in SHW. For Region II (which would cover the area I think you're talking about), those lifts would be 3rd & 4th based on all meets that have been reported.

It was 1445#. I typo'ed. Thanks

I was wrong on two things. It was 1445# and it was in the 275# class.

He is trailing a young man that has to be on the juice. And the Smithville kid must be a monster.


Then I looked at all regions and both D1 and D2. Holly Cow a kid from Burkburnet was at 1840# in the SHW.

LOL! PBJ works wonders. :p I saw the Smithville kid @ Smithville. And actually saw Lopez then, as well. (No comment on my son's less than normal lift this past weekend. ;) )

With those cheat suits and the super wide, un-athletic stances... its a wonder these kids don't lift even more...

Kids from Burleson must be on the juice as well. I've seen some of the totals of some kid from Burleson that is unbelievable. He lifts in the 148 lb. class, and his lifts are almost identical to a kid from Burleson that I lifted against in regionals 2 years in a row back in 1987 and 88. This kid squats 465, benches 315, and I can't remember what his deadlift is but it's pathetic compared to the other two. Now tell me he isn't taking something to lift like that.

Not every strong kid is on the juice. 1445 is very respectable for a high school athlete that has focused training on football not powerlifting, very impressive but those two slots behind him might be saying he must be on the juice........
