THE DIAMOND JUBILEE – A ONE-MAN CELEBRATION 

It wasn’t meant to be such – but it was. After all, it was hybrid with no reason not to  enter since lifts were accepted by the meet director, with or without officials – and there  was no entry fee. None entered. 

So Ol’ Clark kept the event alive by doing what seemed to be token lifts – but weren’t.  They were the postings of a soon-to-be 93-year-old who hadn’t done anything other  than a couple of record days in the past year.

Jefferson Lift – Fulton Bar – 150. 

Bench press – reverse grip – 45. 

Bench press – close grip – 45. 

Seated press behind neck – from rack – 22. 

Total – 537. 

Adjusted total – 873.13. 

RECORD DAY 

HIGH VIGOUR GYM (Colorado) 

The team – Diya is 17 and weighed in at 97.2 lbs; her sister, Nisha, is 16 and weighed  86.2 lbs. Their five team lifts have no equal in the USAWA. 

Team deadlift – one arm, left – 105. 

Team Zercher lift – 85. 

Team Scott lift – 115. 

Team squat-lunge – 95. 

Team curl – cheat – 85. 

Their next team lift will be an unsupported leg press. That truly will be an event. Interesting what happens when kids have the opportunity to be kids and not compared  to the adults. I hope all under-20 USAWA members will join Clark’s Gym in its hybrid  competition – the Stars of Tomorrow on Parade – which has as its goal the Teenage  National Championships on a day not a part of being secondary to the Over-20 crowd – with separate titles for boys and girls.
