EXALT GYM presents: the night of the living dead: professional deadlift competition: Jennifer O'Neil Takes Female Division

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.

Jennifer O'Neil Takes Female Division

NOTLD first timer, Jenny O'Neil, won the female division of the NOTLD. She wanted that 500 pound pull, but ended the day with an amazing lift in the high 400's so maybe we will see that 500 next year on the NOTLD stage. What is more amzaing is that she snapped her forearm just a few months ago and was able to get back into such awesome form so quickly. A testament to her didication.
