Additional information:

1st meet was in 1983, the Contra Costa Novice Meet in Concord, CA
Lifted in nearly 100 meets since that time, in various DRUG TESTED federations, but most were in a smaller federation called the World Association of Bencher’s and Deadlifter’s [WABDL] consisting of about 2000 members from across the World. It is important to note that there is no overall governing body of Powerlifting. Powerlifting is an amateur sport that consists of several different federations.
