Barbell 2017 Delaware Fall Classic , my results..

[Carl in Dover]

So today was the USA Powerlifting Delaware Fall Classic. My first official meet!
I was entered in M3 105. (63yrs, 112#)

First squat 85k,
Second 95k
Third 105k, all lifts 3 white lights

First bench 45k
Second 55k all whites up until now
Third 70k failed to lift , 3 reds(4# over recent PR)

First deadlift 140k 3 whites
Second 150k 3 whites
Third 157.5k (346.5#) DE state record I'm sure. Will have to check back after database updated. Felt like I could have done a bit more!

So, don't use age as an excuse! There was a 74yr old lifter there (Bill from Maryland) that medaled also....

So just to clear this up, you weighed 112lbs (50Kg) and deadlifted 346.5lbs (157.5Kg)? - A bit confused by the "#" and the "k"
That's very impressive!

A bit confused by the "#" and the "k"

I believe everything is in kg except the "#", which is for "pounds." Karl's weight class has been mentioned elsewhere as 105 kg. 112 is a typo - that would be 212 lbs. Here are the USAPL weight classes - I still don't like the recent changes, which are from a couple of years ago, I believe - there ought to be a 100 kg weight class.

130.00lbs/59.00kgs

145.50lbs/66.00kgs

163.00lbs/74.00kgs

182.75lbs/83.00kgs

205.00lbs/93.00kgs

231.25lbs/105.00kgs

264.50lbs/120.00kgs

264.50+lbs/120.00+kgs

@Kettlebelephant ...good catch!
Yup, fat finger typo....my weight is 212# so I was in the 105kg .
