Coach Shawna Mendelson totals 1600@181! 700lb squat, 415lb bench, 485lb deadlift!

This past weekend, Team BCB traveled to Smithfield, RI to support Coach Shawna Mendelson as she competed in the 2016 SPF Northeast Showdown! Shawna won 1st place in the Women’s Division and best lifter overall, with an incredible 700lb squat, 415lb bench press and 485lb deadlift! Check out some pics and videos of the meet and our trip below!

Yesterday I competed up in Rhode Island. I squatted 700, benched 415, and pulled 485 to secure a 1600ln total at 177bw. This was a huge PR total for me. I prd in both my squat and bench in a full meet. Couldn't have done this without my team!
