This weekend we traveled to Orlando so that Dustin could compete in his second powerlifting competition. We arrived Friday afternoon so that Dustin could weigh in. Because he was lifting in the 181 pound weight class, he cut 15 pounds for this meet and weighed in at 176 lbs! After his weigh in, we headed to our hotel to check-in.
After checking into the hotel, we did some shopping and then met up with my parents for dinner as I mentioned in the previous post :)

After dinner, my parents started their journey home and we headed back to the hotel to relax and get some sleep!

The next morning, we woke up and took our time getting ready..
 |
| Morning Nap! |

Around 11, we checked out and headed to Dustin's meet!

| Love Birds! |
When we got there, it was packed with people and there was NO air conditioning. It didn't take long for Xavier to get whiny so he and I hopped in the car and drove around while Dustin warmed up.

| Sweaty baby! |

| Melts my heart <3 |
After taking a nap and recharging in the air conditioning, Bean was ready for round two. Luckily, it started to rain and it really cooled off toward the evening. Over all, we sat through 7 hours of heat just for our main man!
At about 3, Dustin's flight started with squats. He did amazing! With his first squat, he lifted 385 lbs. With his second, 410 lbs, and on his third squat, he lifted an astonishing 420 lbs!!!

By 6pm, we were all spent and Dust only had one lift left- deadlifts. His first attempt was successful at 475 lbs. His second attempt was also successful at 505 lbs. His third attempt was not only successful but
BROKE THE FEDERATION RECORD for his weight and age group at a CRAZY 525 lbs!!!!
WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His three lift total for this meet was 1260 lbs! It was 75 lbs more than is total in March! To put this into perspective, he lifted 7 times his bodyweight!!!!!!!!
