It was a great day for the Dino Gym Challenge – a day we honored the longtime USAWA and Dino Gym member Dean Ross who passed away a year ago.
Larry Traub made his return to the USAWA lifting platform and put on an outstanding performance. Larry’s last trap bar deadlift of 500 pounds is one I will remember. He won the outstanding lifter award for his great lifting.
Chad Ullom provided a stellar performance as well – highlighted by his 105 pound swing with his new shoulder!
Amber Elder was the only women’s lifter and lifted great. She finished her day with a big 215 pound trap bar deadlift.
Denny once again made the long trek from Lebanon, PA to attend a meet at the Dino Gym. He had a good battle with my dad LaVerne all day long and just edged him out in total points. I was very impressed with my dad when he lifted 303 pounds in the Trap Bar Deadlift for a new record.
I want to truly thank everyone for attending the Dino Gym Challenge. I also want to thank the lifters who participated unofficially who could not attend as I know there were several.
