Had the pleasure of handling these 3 legends (plus our emotional support marshmallow) at CAPO Nationals over the weekend.
Friday – Apple
Took on the Masters 82.5kg class and had an outstanding day going 9/9 with platform PRs across the board:
⚫️ 160kg Squat (+5kg)
⚫️ 102.5kg Bench (+2.5kg)
⚫️ 175kg Deadlift (+10kg)
For a huge 437.5kg total — a 17.5kg comp PR.
Saturday – Nicky
If you’ve seen Nicky lift before, you know anything can happen. She took it all in stride, going 7/9 — missing her final squat from cataplexy and her last deadlift as we went after a PR.
⚫️ 97.5kg Squat (+2.5kg)
⚫️ 67.5kg Bench (+2.5kg)
⚫️ 125kg Deadlift (switched stance, no cataplexy, just shy of her best)
Sunday – Dot
Dot came in off a short prep with a few ni**les and still gave it everything.
⚫️ 57.5kg Bench
⚫️ 112.5kg Deadlift
Missed her best lifts by a few kilos, but came in swinging and showed up when it mattered.
