    Yeah I dunno, not sure she's an "elite lifter" yet. Maybe still intermediate?

    @DopeItUp - in one year, I've added 28.5kg to my platform bench, in the last 7 months, 18.5kg, and 3.5kg in the last 7 weeks. Even my coaches are confused as to exactly where on the gains curve I am, but we are betting on being able to make significant gains still.

    So yes we will still call me intermediate in terms of gains potential until I'm clearly in the advanced territory of fighting tooth and nail for every kg. :p

    And everyone else, thank you!

    honestly I would not have a problem with her going 12 hours a week. I actually used to do that once upon a time but made non gains like you did. I am sure with what I am looking for she would mind if I go with her for like half the time. I never follow people who I workout with around. I still do my own thing and my own goals.

    Wow and I feel she got more in the tank for a 5 pound increase at least. Bravo.

    Sweet achievement!
    But isn't that pretty low weight for a world record or did I misunderstand something?

    @stevencloser - raw is a smaller federation, and the numbers tend to be on the lower side for sure. It's the submaster so 35-39 age group record - the open record is a very respectable 112.5kg. To put it in perspective, for 84kg in CPU/IPF, the provincial record I'm looking to break is at 85, the national record is at 105 (although I'm 99.9% sure a junior in Ontario is going to smash it at her provincials), and the world record is at a slightly mind numbing 136kg.
