Alleyne pumped for North American Powerlifting Championship

The North American Powerlifting Championship is on the horizon and as it approaches, National Powerlifter Orin Alleyne has divulged that he was ready for the international competition slated for July-August.
Alleyne will be accompanied by 14 other lifters as they compete for the regional top spots in bench press, deadlift and squats.

Speaking on his preparations, Alleyne disclosed that he has already begun a few aspects of his training. “Right now for me I have my powerlifting chart starting next month; I’m focusing on the body building training,” he stated.
When questioned about the progress he has made since last year’s competition, Alleyne said, “So, I’ve already surpassed two of my regional lift totals from last year, so for me I’m feeling really good.”
The record holder has set his sights on breaking records and beating his personal best at this year’s competition. “I’m trying to break my previous deadlift record also, which is currently 622 lbs.” He noted that sticking to his rigorous training and the help of God would see him achieve that goal.
Currently, the Guyana Amateur Power Lifting Federation is hosting a number of meets to prepare athletes and raise funds for the upcoming championship. The first of those fundraisers was held at Club 704 on Saturday, when Martin Pratab and Natoya Robinson emerged as the male and female winner respectively.
The Federation is expected to send a 15-member team to Mexico in July. The powerlifting fraternity is no stranger to international success; in 2017, a 15-member team recorded impressive performances at the NAPF/FESUPO Pan-American Powerlifting Championships and returned to Guyana with a total of 33 medals.
