Junica Pluck aims to compete on international platform …requires 33 more points

Former bodybuilder and Miss Bikini 2015 contestant now turned powerlifter, Junica Pluck, is making a name for herself as she is quickly rising through the ranks. Pluck will be guest lifting in the Novices/Junior National Championship 2019 which will be held at the Saint Stanislaus College at 10:00 hrs on February 3, 2019.
In an interview with Guyana Times Sport Pluck stated that she has been training hard for the competition, as while she is allowed to guest lift at other events, she only needs 33 more points to be able to compete internationally. When asked about her training, Pluck also said, “I have been training approximately 9 weeks from the last senior competition, which was held on December 3rd 2018. My intention is to break my own records in the 63kg category, which will allow me to gain more additional points to qualify me to compete on the international platform. I’m on the Preliminary List for 2019 International Events, which means I, the athlete, am still to achieve the minimum qualifying total for the particular weight class. I’m allowed to ‘Guest Lift’ at any of the upcoming ‘Local’ events in 2019 (before their scheduled international meets”.
She also stated that she is proud of herself as she has seen improvements in her lifting, such that she is “able to squat more than my last competition,” has drastically improved in her bench press, and has also increased tremendously with her deadlifts. She gave high praises to her two coaches, whom she credited with giving her the energy, the drive and the determination.
Pluck also went into detail, as she is hoping that as she guest lifts at the competition, she is hoping to gain all 33 of her points at the event to skyrocket her career on the international scene, as she said she is ready mentally and physically for what lies ahead.
Weigh in period for the competition is between 08:00h and 9:30h, tickets are $1000 and $1500 at the door.
