This past weekend there was only one local lifter at Women’s Nationals in Atlanta, GA. Liane Blyn (Open, 181wc) made her come back after a sever car accident this past winter. Liane finished the day with a 446.4lbs squat, 358.2lbs bench, 424.3lbs deadlift for a 1,229lbs total. Liane only attempted 7 lifts as she passed on her third squat and last two deadlifts, perhaps a result from her injuries but she made all 7 attempts. None more impressive than her third bench, the 358.2lbs bench smashed the previous National and American record. Congratulations to Liane!
