I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I am new here and have a question. Can you set a state record for your state if you are competing in another state. I am from New York state and see there are lots of competitions in Pennsylvania. If I compete in Pennsylvania, would my lift qualify me for a Pennsylvania record since I lifted in Pennsylvania? Since I am a New York resident, would my lift be considered a New York record if it surpassed the New York record? How does setting records work.

State records are recorded based on a lifters state of residence not the location of the event. So, being a New York resident you would set New York State Records.
Another thing about records that throws people off is the type of sanction of an event can affect what records are set. Sanction I - only State records can be set Sanction II – State and National records can be set Sanctioned III - State, National and World records can be set
You may notice if you’re looking through the records a few cases where the World record is less than the National record. Here is how that could happen. Let’s say the current national and world record for the deadlift is 500lbs. Bob enters a Sanction II event and pulls a 525lbs deadlift. Bob will have set a new national record of 525lbs but because the event was only a sanction II meet his lift is not eligible for World records and the original World record of 500lbs stands as the world record.
