WABDL Competition

2007:04:27

I’ve just finished filling out the entry form to compete on May 26th in the Midwest Regional meet of the World Association of Benchpressers and Deadlifters (WABDL). Last night, I had the honor of meeting and getting some competition tips from Gus Rethwisch, President of WABDL and Dan Hawkinson, a WABDL record holder and Gus’s training partner.

I’ll be competing in the 165 lb weight class in the Submaster and Open divisions. My goal is to benchpress 360+ lbs and set the Minnesota state record for both the Submaster and Open divisions. The winner of any division qualifies to compete in the World Championship held in Anaheim California this year.

Now back to protein shakes, counting calories and more training!
