  Most of the crew from the PL meet at Creighton Prep today . . . minus Tina, Jason, the Sharp clan, and the Swanson clan (as they all had to take off). With the exception of Tyler and Abby, this was everyone's first powerlifting meet, and everyone successfully hit weights they had never lifted before in all 3 lifts (Tyler and Abby also hit PRs in all 3 lifts). Overall, the day was a blast, and amazingly, the meet was pretty darn fast. #powerlifting #PRtheworld #squatbenchdeadlift #startingstrength #startingstrengthgym
