Continuing our profile of lifters preparing for the WDFPF World Powerlifting Championship event in Cape Cod, MA, we are highlighting Corinna Myers. We already introduced the strongest pound-for-pound woman in the gym (Heidi Lowe). However, Corinna is the absolute strongest woman in the gym. She holds the Junior WDFPF world records in the recently added 110kg class where she lifted 330lbs in squat, 160lbs in the bench press and 413lbs in the deadlift. That was good for a 903lb total. Corinna trains with Heidi at the Pit 2 location. Corinna is currently a student at USI where she is majoring in Biology. Her goal is to someday become a veterinarian. Corinna should represent The Pit (and team USA) very well in Cape Cod.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Bailey ! Angela began resistance training once a week with Lanea, one year ago! She has rarely missed a weekly session, and she has kept off 40 pounds through her commitment to the training sessions. We enjoy Angela's fun, upbeat personality....as well as the dynamite goodies she brings in :)
Good work, Angela! We know some days ya just wanna cancel .... but how lucky are we that we have the opportunity to improve our health in only 45 minutes?

The Pit has multiple lifters planning to travel to Cape Cod for the 2024 Full Power WDFPF World Championships. We will be doing some features on these lifters starting with Heidi Lowe.

Heidi is a Junior at North Posey High School and trains primarily at Pit 2 on Heidelbach. Heidi has been active in competitive dance and cheer for several years prior to trying competitive lifting. In less than one year, she has made her mark winning each competition she has entered, and currently has the highest female pound for pound "wilks" total and broke all of the existing WDFPF teenage records in her division at the National meet his past July. Her winning lifts (and current World Records) in the teenage 129lb class were: Squat = 253lbs, Bench Press = 138lbs, and deadlift = 281 lbs for a total of 665 lbs.

We know Heidi will represent The Pit well in November!

Fun fact about Heidi: She collects pocket knives!
