EXALT GYM presents: the night of the living dead: professional deadlift competition: Elisa Bird Wins Automatic Bid for 2012

WHAT IS THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ?

The Night of the Living Dead began for several reasons. First, the country needed a professional deadlift only meet as there was not one at its inception. Second, the area had forgotten its rich deadlifting history and needed an event to remind the people of their iron-laden past. Third, I had just started a high school powerlifting team and we had no money. The NOTLD allowed us to raise money for the kids and to bring in some of the greatest deadlifters on earth to inspire them to new heights.

What began as a small meet with 10 lifters has turned into the most exciting deadlift meet in the world attracting the premier deadlifters from America and even a few from overseas.

Elisa Bird Wins Automatic Bid for 2012

Elizabethton's own Elisa Bird earned her automatic spot in the female division for the NOTLD in 2012 by way of her best female score at the amateur flight of the NOTLD. She is only 15, but we all know she will be training hard to represent her self, and her school, well with the greatest deadlifters in the world next year.
