Raw Power

Three women and many men of all shapes and sizes showed their strength in a power lifting competition on Saturday, Nov. 17.

The competitors had three chances to squat, bench press and deadlift with maximum weight in the Wade King Student Recreation Center.

The most interesting part of this event for me was watching the lifters’ faces and they exerted all their energy into lifting sometimes more than 400 pounds.

Here are a few photos from the event. Enjoy!
