Quotes on the upcoming Womens Nationals in St. Louis:
|
|
"
I have to say I really enjoy watching some of the more experienced lifters
lift. I was extremely impressed by some of the numbers put up last year. One
thing that always sticks in my mind is Priscilla Ribic deadlifting!
WOW...that's all I can say!
This will be my third Women's Nationals. The first two were a little rocky.
My first women's nationals in Jan '03 was my second meet ever, and it
showed!! Nationals Jan '04 went better but not by much. I would like to
break this cycle of getting to women's and doing terrible. As far as my
numbers are looking I do not know specifics at this point...i do know going
off of where I am now, I would like to total somewhere around 1070+... As far as my training will go....I don't have much say, I talk to Wade and
he tells me everything, I owe him a huge Thanks!
