Presidential Cup

By Denny Habecker

Where: Habecker’s Gym, Lebanon, PA

When: August  5, 2023

Weigh Ins:  10:00AM

The Presidential Cup will follow along some of the same guidelines as the Gold Cup, which is the IAWA meet which recognizes outstanding performances by lifters in the lift/lifts of their choosing.  The Gold Cup started in 1991 under the direction of then-IAWA President Howard Prechtel.  However there will be some differences in the guidelines of the USAWA Presidential Cup:

  • The Presidential Cup is hosted annually by the USAWA President only.
  • Must be a USAWA member to participate.
  • A lifter may choose any official USAWA  lift/lifts (up to a maximum of 5 lifts) to set a USAWA record/records in.
  • The lifter must open at a USAWA Record Poundage on first attempt.
  • The top performance record lift of the entire record day,  which will be chosen by the President, will be awarded the PRESIDENTIAL CUP.

Lifter of the Month-February

By Eric Todd

The Dino Gym hosted the Grip Championship again this past February.  While Laverne Myers would certainly be a worthy recipient, winning his sixth title here, February’s Lifter of the Month goes to Keving Fulton.  Kevin put up the biggest total at the Grip Championship by way of a 127 pound strict pinch grip (doing a 137# record lift outside the competition) and a 205 pound Vertical Bar Deadlift 1 bar 1″ one hand.  Kevin was a fixture in the USAWA 20 years ago, but has not been in action since.  Kevin was the second American (after our own Frank Ciavattone) to lift the Dinnie Stones unassisted. He was the leader of the old Braveheart Weightlifting club from 2000-2003.  It was great to see Keving return to action, and I hope he continues being active in the USAWA.  Great work, Kevin!
