    There are many competitive powerlifters. I think some of them hang out in the fitness/exercise section. I think IronMsCanada is a record holder, SaraUk2Sf is a record holder, Sidesteel competes, Nakedraygun competes, I've competed and hold a record (I'm a bodybuilder, not a powerlifter). There are many others.

    NGA women's heavyweight bodybuilder. I've considered doing a NPC show and competing in physique, but I need a few more years for size and muscle maturity.

    I've been competing for over 7 years and have done approximately 25 meets. I've lost count.

    I totally agree!! I'm nervous to compete in my first power lifting meet next year.

    So far my totals (I think) are decent but I want to get them higher:

    Bench: 225
    Dead: 330
    Squat: 350

    It was intense haha. I did 2 reps off the chest with no arch on flat. I just posted a video of 205 on my page... Was able to hit 190 on incline.
