Lots of athletes competing this weekend, including myself.

This weekend will definitely involve many feats of strength.  The BC Provincial Powerlifting and Bench Press Championships, and Canada West Crossfit Regionals, are being held in Vancouver, BC.  Two Pursuit of Strength athletes will be competing in each of these respective events; Sebastian Lade in the powerlifting and Christina Verhagen in the Crossfit.  It's a good thing these competitions are being held within a couple blocks of each other, as I will be running back and forth between the venues trying to catch all the action. 

Probably the most unusual event of the weekend, however, will involve myself, competing in the powerlifting competition.  This will be my first 3-lift event since 2009.  Since I wasn't attending the Bench World Championships this year, I decided to switch up my training and focus on heavy squatting and deadlifting.  Of course, there was a little bit of persuasion involved given that my training partner, James Bartlett, is one of the strongest raw 3-lift athletes in the country.  Going into this competition I have no expectations (for the first time) and I can't wait to see how my body copes with 9 maximal lifts in one day.  I've been really spoiled over the years with bench-only... 

A full list of everyone's results will be posted after the competition.  Good luck to our athletes and everyone else competing this weekend!!
