Powerlifting Meet Held In Northern Arizona

On August 2, 2008, the first 100% Raw powerlifting meet was held in Prescott, Arizona. Two lifts were included in the meet, bench press and curl. Nearly 50 participants showed up and Team Verde Barbell had two lifters entered in the meet. The level of fitness was impressive.

Powerlifting is a sport with a diverse group of competitors. In the competition there was an age range between teenagers and 70 year olds and there were women as well as men competing. There are divisions that these competitors can compete within for state, national and world records. Many of the athletes compete for personal records.

Team Verde Barbells’ lifters did well. Stan Dickey competed in the 275 lb weight class and set two new state records with a bench press of 405 lbs and a curl of 150 lbs. Stan also received an award for the Best Bench Press of the meet. Andy Dickey competed in the 181 lb weight class and set two new state and national records with a bench press of 350 lbs and a curl of 145 lbs.
