“Records are meant to be broken!”
That was the deafening roar of Carlos ‘The Showstopper’ Petterson-Grifith prior to several record breaking feats yesterday when the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) staged its Masters and Intermediate Championships at St Stanislaus College.
Ahead of his international assignment next month in the USA, the 93kg behemoth as is customary, stole the show of another local event, smashing his national squat, deadlift and total records.
The event catered for Masters and Intermediates and Keisha Abrigo (female intermediate), Alex Parmanand (male intermediate), Homwattie Hirawan (female masters) and Frank Tucker (male masters equipped) along with Noel Cummings (male masters unequipped) lifted the coveted overall best lifter titles.
