THERE WERE 50 LIFTERS AT THE MEET WITH SOME EXCELLENT LIFTING AND MANY STATE AND NATIONAL RECORDS SET.
THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN TURNED IN AND WILL BE POSTED SOON. THE STATE RECORDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED AND WILL POSTED AS WELL.
WHAT A GREAT YEAR FOR LIFTING IN VIRGINIA. TWO ALL TIME RECORDS WERE SET IN VIRGINIA. PEDRO MEJIAS SETTING THE ALL TIME BENCH PRESS RECORD WITH A GREAT LIFT OF 633.8 AT THE VIRGINIA AMERICAN CHALLENGE IN JUNE. THEN IN JULY AT THE EASTERN USA OPEN AT POWERHOUSE GYM IN WOODBRIDGE MIKE EATON PULLED 800.25 IN THE 242 CLASS TO SET THE ALL TIME DEADLIFT RECORD.
IN OCTOBER AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN LAS VEGAS TEAM FORCE AND VIRGINIA LIFT NATE WOODARD SET THE ALL TIME STRICT CURL RECORD WITH 176.3.
THE 2013 SEASON HAS SIX EVENTS PLANNED FOR VIRGINIA SO FAR AND THERE ARE THREE MORE EVENTS THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THE SCHEDULE. IT SHOULD BE ANOTHER RECORD BREAKING YEAR WITH 100% RAW LIFTING MAKING A HUGE IMPACT ON BOTH THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SCENE.
THE ENTRY FORM FOR ALL SIX EVENTS IS NOW POSTED ON THE 100% RAW WEBSITE

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
