Anna McCloskey is amazing! She missed 451.9 on her 4th attempt. This is the second time this year Anna has been tested by the 100% RAW Powerlifting Federation.

Just letting everyone know…so no one questions her legitimacy!

At the Worlds in Vegas a lady did 407 raw,
and now this!
Paul has some ladies that should a RAW
female division be added to the Arnold Deadlift contest, this young lady should considered.
Nice lift!

That is an amazing lift for a high school girl. I would love to see her at the NOTLD.

There is a female division at teh Arnold. SHe better bring it because the girl that one last year has pulled like 540 at 148 (not raw).

That would be Paula, but she currently is out with a back injury so the field is open. (Paula is in a class all her own.) Titan - Give this young lady a suit to level out the playing field, and if she can master it, she should pull 490. Factor in the age and look out!(Any talk of a guest invite?)

That would be Priscilla Ribic who lifted 556 @ 148 with a suit. http://www.littlepowerhouse.com/
