Spanning the ages, our two youngest competitors, Sarah Hunt (9 years on left) and Gabby Reyes-Cooke (11 years) flank our oldest lifter, Fred Glass at 73 years. All set and broke IPA records with incredible performances.
Switching Gears from bodybuilding, Nicole Miller proved she's as accomplished as a powerlifter breaking all the IPA records in the unequipped 198 lb. Raw Women's Open division with a 350 lb. squat, 260 lb. bench and a 395 lb. dead lift earning her the Amateur Women's Best Lifter Award.
Georgia's own Tom Bowman (262 lbs. and 54 years) inched past an existing hard earned IPA squat record rewriting the books with an 807.5 lb. squat. Tom was the last guy on the platform breaking another record with a 700 lb. dead lift.
Mark Van Alstyne is one of the IPA's notable lifters who rarely compete without a stellar performance. At 195 lbs. bodyweight and 43 years, Mark pressed out a huge 575 lb. record bench press.
Chaillet's Private Fitness' own, Vincent Cooke (234 lb. bodyweight) won two Best Lifter Awards in the Professional Men's Heavyweight full power and the Professional Men's Open Bench division with a 2185 lb. total and a 750 lb. bench press opener. Impressively, Vinny took an 807.5 lb. bench for a ride twice nearly locking out each time. 775 lb. squat opener pictured to left.Thanks to all the IPA Nationals competitors and our incredible volunteers!
