Athletes compete to lift the most weight possible in these three lifts within their respective weight and age categories. Each athlete has three attempts to realize their full potential. To enable an accurate comparison, the lifts must follow stringent technical guidelines. The heaviest successful lifts in each category are put together to form a “powerlifting total” that is used to rank athletes. Powerlifting measures both an athlete’s absolute strength and technical talents. Corey Blue Morabito - “Story about my Life” (session 5) My name is Corey Morabito. When I was 2 years old, my biological father discarded me on the streets in the Philippines. I lived there for five years with other abandoned children. It was very scary. I was put in an orphanage and adopted by a woman in the US. She couldn’t handle me, so Joanna and Michael Morabito stepped in. As a big sports family, my parents put me in wrestling so I could defend myself. I had been bullied a lot. I loved wrestling from the beginning. I added power lifting and now compete in both sports. On April 18 th , it will be 10 years since I became a Morabito.
