Power Lifting is a great stand-alone sport.  There are some real spin-offs however for other sports.  Example: Sarah McClure was a young Bridge City girl who just played JV softball as an add-on sport last year.  She loves her lifting also.

She is dedicated to those two sports jointly.  The weights must have helped her as she caught fire at bat for the JV, getting one HR and eight Triples and more: ending the last half of the season with a .800+ plus batting average.  Will Sarah end up the 2nd base on down the way?  One thing is sure she looks like a good candidate for the DH if the new Coach allows the bat to be use for power hitting-- maybe her Junior and Senior seasons for the Varsity.

I like power lifting for girls if it is taught by someone that has good training in the dos-and-don'ts of body mechanics.  It can enhance an athletes performance potential!

Who are the power lifters from each school and what grades are they presently in?

[roar!]

Livingston will be hosting a meet but i don't know the date yet...livingstonisd.com         click on athletics page and call the AD

I’m a freshman at Shepherd High School, and I believe I could make regional, but my dad says a lot of the lifters "sandbag" at the beginning of the season, but I also looked at the ones from last year and their lifts didn’t seem very far out of reach either.

So, I was just wondering what kind of total lift you think I would I need to make regional and state in the 242s.  8)

To make it to Regionals depends on how many kids are competing in your weight class this year. It should be around 1100 or so for the 3 lift total to make it to Regionals.

Last year the two lifters in the 242 that made it to State did over 1650 three lift total for one and close to 1500 for the other. You'll probably need to squat around 600lbs, bench about 340lbs, and Deadlift around 550lbs to make it to state this year in that weight class.

WOW. That's alot. Lol.

[DontStab]

What would be a good average score to compete as a male in the 132 weight class?

[Wildfire]

any 1A lifters out there

[Rebel Yeller]

There are plenty of 1A powerlifters

Evadale, West Hardin, High Island and Hull-Daisetta have teams.

Chance Burnett of Evadale could make waves all the way to state this year. The Rebels have 16 guys on their team. It has been a huge help for the football team as most of the lifters are football players too.

Keep an eye out 1A kids are just as into powerlifting as any other classiification is.

[BUCman]

Well said Rebel Yeller... I know Chance and he is as strong as an ox.  High Island has a kid who could make a run all the way to state in Lynn Harris.
