Well, the results are in from this Saturday's CPO Nationals. It was a very large meet with many Canadian and World records set, and took a total of 13 hours to get through. Congratulations to everybody who competed, and especially to everybody who won or set a record!
I ended up taking home 4 Canadian records in the Amateur/Raw 148lb division: 303lb squat, 242lb bench press, 341lb deadlift, as well as an 885 pound total.
The "Amateur" designations refers to the fact that competitors may be subjected to random drug testing as steroid use is prohibited. "Raw" refers to the exclusion of assistance ("support") equipment such as lifting suits, benching shirts, or knee/elbow wraps or grip straps (which are prohibited everywhere anyway.)
I haven't had a chance to edit them, but here're the final record videos from yesterday:
