Meet Recap: Lorraine competed at the USAPL California State Championships, where she was about to go 8 for 9 and finish the day with a nice deadlift and total PR. Lorraine rounded out the day with a 341lb. squat, 193lb. bench press, and a 386lb. deadlift for a 920lb. total! Deadlift was the best lift of the meet, and for how Lorraine has typically moved 3rd attempt deadlifts as of recent, she absolutely crushed this and had likely another 5kg in the tank. After being the problem lift for so long, it probably is the lift now that has had the most momentum and progress meet to meet over the last year. For squat and bench, strength was decent on the day, but we know there is more to be had. The block prior squat and bench were at all time bests, and just seemed to fizzle a little this final block leading into the meet. So on my end, I need to figure out the why behind that, because Lorraine is definitely capable of crushing these numbers come USAPL Nationals this year. She has really dialed in variables over the past 6 months, and the consistency and progress and training has shown those results.425kg+ is knocking on the door, and in June we will unlock it!
