USAPL Europa Show of Champions Highlights
Submitted by Staff on April 23, 2009 - 7:46am.
In addition to the performances of April Shumaker and Anton Kraft here are some additional highlights from the USAPL Europa Show of Champions Bench Press, Superlifting and Powerlifting Championships held Saturday at the Europa Expo in Orlando, Florida.
Hennis Washington (132) was the overall best male powerlifter, totaling 1,427 pounds. That ranks him second on the Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings, only 11 pounds behind Doc Holloway. Washington squatted 567 pounds; bench pressed 330 pounds; and pulled 529 pounds.
Washington's deadlift:
Mysteriously, Beau Moore, who was registered for the competition was a no show.
Mike Ferrantelli (220) was the overall heavyweight winner in the bench press. Ferrantelli pressed a very easy 551 pounds on his second attempt, which was a repeat of his first. His final attempt of 601 pounds was a half-inch from lockout. Ferrantelli will compete at the USAPL Bench Press Nationals in Cleveland.
Ferrantelli's press:
Based on the best lifter performances of Washington, Ferrantelli, Shumaker, and Kraft, they each were awarded $250 in cash, a Powerlifting Gear Sponsorship from Inzer Advance Designs for $500, a Quest Nutrition Gift Certificate for $50, and a Con Cret Nutrition Sling Bag with over $100 in supplements.
Thoughtfully, Anton Kraft donated his Gear Sponsorship Certificate of $500 to the Spotting/Loading Team from Florida Gulf Coast University [FGCU].
The Superlifting Championship was won by the following:
501.50 lb / 227.5 kg Bar for [02] IPF Style Repetitions: Mike Ferrantelli
402.25 lb / 182.5 kg Bar for [04] IPF Style Repetitions: JT Hall
303.00 lb / 137.5 kg Bar for [21] IPF Style Repetitions: Clint Poore
Each winner of the Superlifting Championship was awarded $300 in cash. Both Poore and Hall had to go to a bench off as they both tied with 11 reps on the initial round with 303 pounds. Poore prevailed during the second round with yet another 10 reps to Hall's 6 repetitions.
Overall, $4,600 in cash and prizes were awarded to the athletes from sponsors Inzer Advance Designs, Quest Nutrition, and Con Cret Nutrition.
The USA Powerlifting Europa Show of Championship served as one of the official selection events for the 2010 Arnold Sports Festival.
