GAPLF Raw Nationals Championship
Guyana’s 93kg squat world record holder Carlos Petterson-Griffith has once again demonstrated his expertise as he copped the best male overall lifter prize, while Sarah Sanmoogan won the female crown when the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation held its RAW Nationals Championship on Sunday.
Staged at the Guyana Defence Force, Camp Ayanganna, Petterson-Griffith was in fine form as he shattered four records and Sanmoogan two, as 26 new national records were set on an exquisite day.
Nangita Seenarine, Mariah Bacchus, Trevor Callender, Joseph Stoll, Wazim Mohamed, Farouk Abdool, Richard Fredericks, and Duarte Hetsberger also tasted success as they displayed the fruits of their labour, hence deciding their own faith.
Carlos ‘The Showstopper’ Petterson-Griffith got the fans on their feet as he successfully performed a deadlift of 365kg competing in the 105kg Men’s Open Raw category. It was an extraordinary display by the Guyanese strongman, as he also produced a squat of 320kg and a bench-press of 180kg for a total of 865 kg, which were all new national records.
