2018 NEW ENGLAND STRONGMAN RECORD DAY

The meet turned out to be a great success. We had 8 lifters from three states. It was held at Frank’s Barbell Club in East Walpole, Massachusetts.

One of the highlights of the meet was newcomer Christopher Lestan. He put some impressive numbers on the board!

Michael Rabich, who drove up from Queens, New York, did a Pull over and Press with a Wrestler’s Bridge that made my neck hurt watching him do it!

Jeff Ciavattone was there to set some records too, even after driving all the way up from South Carolina. Then he was off to Fenway Park in Boston for a concert.

Newcomer Dan Rowe and Mike Vuono didn’t disappoint with their lifts either.

Afterwards Frank treated us all to Pizza for lunch. Thanks to Frank, Rocky, and Jeff who officiated the meet. And a special thank you to Peter Vuono for keeping things upbeat and making us all smile!
