Bates Powerlifting online client, Kelsey Butler, competed in her first USA Powerlifting meet this weekend at the Aggie Showdown at Texas A&M’s campus in College Station, Texas. Competing in the 84kg weight class, she hit all her lifts for 90kg/55kg/132.5kg. She says he first meet was “cool as hell. Had a lot of fun. Learned a lot. Lifted a lot.” Kelsey started a powerlifting program with coach Nick Bates just five months ago. Awesome job, Kelsey!
