At Large Nutrition - Your number one choice for nutritional supplements.

AtLarge Nutrition had the chance to attend the Arnold Classic Fitness Expo this year (2006). It was there that Phil Harrington (one of our world-class sponsored powerlifters) introduced us to female strength phenom Laura Phelps. Laura was competing in the WPO meet being held at the Arnold Classic and Phil was very excited for us to meet her. He prepped us for the encounter by telling us about her recent 725 lbs squat (you read that right!!!) at the APF Ohio State Championships. Both during and after the competition we had the chance to speak with Laura. We were very impressed by her humble and pleasant demeanor especially when considering she had just set the all-time highest total in the women's 165 lb weight class in only her 4th sanctioned powerlifting competition!

Best Squat: 725 lbs in the 181 class - This ranks as the all-time 2nd highest squat by a woman, the all-time best in class, and makes her one of only 2 women who have squatted over 700 lbs!!! Best Bench Press: 465 lbs Best Deadlift: 510 lbs Best Total: 1650 lbs in the 165 lb class --- All-time record!!! Laura's accomplishments in powerlifting literally blow the mind not only for the immensity of the lifts she has posted but also due to the fact she is a literal neophyte to powerlifting!
