Catherine Evans started with WSF Barbell in March 2018. In those 10 months she has competed in 3 IDFPA meets and represented Ireland in the RAW World Powerlifting competition at Virginia Beach last October. In the 6 months from starting, Catherine added 40kg, 10kg and 25kg respectively to her Back Squat, Pause Bench and Deadlift. But also Catherine’s technique and functional movement has improved immensely too. Well it's no surprise she came 1st in her class and 2nd up against all ages in her weight category for that competition and now ranks 3rd in the World in her class.
Coach Clara is looking forward to getting Catherine to her 2019 goals and smashing a National Deadlift Record, but keeping it in the club, as the Coach holds the record at 130kg currently.
Catherine comes from an Endurance background having completed the Dublin City Marathon just a few months before joining WSF Barbell. I know a multi-talented lady and a powerlifter who doesn’t retch at cardio….Well that might have changed somewhat, going by her reaction to last weeks new programme. “Surely 10 reps is Cardio….” (Not what she actually said but keeping it clean 😉)
