I weighed in at 79kg/174lbs for the 81kg Masters class and left with a beautiful gold medal. This was my first “big” meet since returning to sport, my first time in a State Championship since collegiate USAPL state championships in college back at FSU. I was super nervous, but my Dad drove down and I had a local coach, Brian Chambers, that signed on to help count attempts in the warmup area and manage the technical side of the meet for me. Brian has been a huge help throughout my Weightlifting journey, and is also a student of Glenn Pendlay. Brian runs Big Bend Strength and Conditioning here in Tallahassee, Florida.
