Nationals results 2022

Nationals 2022 is over and in the books, and what a nationals it was! Karen and Steve Gardner joined us from over in the United Kingdom to help out.  Several lifters who have lifted together and against each other for 30 years or better showed up to do battle.  It was truly some of the OGs (original gangsters-for those of you all-rounders who are not hip) and it was very cool to see.  We also had what may have been the very youngest lifter at nationals in Daphne Lansdown.  Don’t quote me on this, as I am not going to go back through decades of files, but Daphne lifted at nationals at an age of 6 years old, and her energy was refreshing.

It was also exciting to watch the bitter rivalry unfold between Grandfather and Grandson.  The old dog (Denny) and the young pup (Aiden) went back and forth all day.  Last year’s national and world champion, Beth Skwarecki was on hand to defend her crown.  Big Frank Ciavattone was on hand.  Frank is the leader of Frank’s Barbell Club, and has many national and world titles to his name.

Barry Pensyl made it out to compete as well.  I enjoyed Barry’s stories of lifting for Bob Hoffman with the old York Barbell outfit.  Barry Bryan served as our head official, while Judy Habecker recorded attempts and Steve Gardner served as a very competent announcer. The banquet this year was some amazing barbeque prepared by Judy and served at the Habecker residence.  The lifting this day was great, and the experience one I will remember.

Heavy Lift Championship 2022

By Eric Todd

2022 Heavy Lift Championship

2022 Heavy Lift Championship

Aside from the USAWA National Championship, the Heavy lift is the longest running championship in the USAWA.  It has run every year since 1994, with the exception of 2020 when everything was cancelled due to the pandemic.  In the 28 years that this meet was contested, the women’s division has had 8 different champions, with Cara Collins having won the meet three times.  There have been no women competitors in 18 of these championships.  In the men’s division, there have been 8 one-time champions, with 4 individuals being multiyear champions.

It was a beautiful day to be throwing around heavy weights in the old tin can.  We had 5 seasoned competitors, with by brother Leroy stepping in to load, judge and score all day.  Lunch was prepared and served by my daughter Phoebe.  Thom and Ethan VanVleck even stopped by to catch up and deliver an undeserved gift to yours truly.

As per tradition, we started off with the neck lift.  It went well.  4 of us set a record in this discipline.  Chad and I went 900 and 950 pounds, respectively.  Dean hit a record of 100 pounds.  Dave hit a record of 480 in the meet, and then another of 505 for a 4th lift for record.  He tells me this should be enough to get him on Clark’s big board once again.

Next up was the hand and thigh lift.  I have said it before, and I will say it again: this lift is a fickle mistress!  In this part of the competition, none of our lifting was record worthy.  Speaking only for myself, my second attempt was easy, and I thought I was easily ready for record poundage.  When record poundage was loaded, it was stapled to the floor.  Fickle mistress indeed.

After the hand and thigh, we took a break for dinner.  Phoebe brought us out sandwiches, chips and snacks.  Leroy had an opportunity to update points while the rest of us sat around and told lies.  Before lifting started again, Leroy told me that less than a point separated mine and Chad’s totals.  The last lift would be the deciding factor in who walked away with the title.

The last discipline contested at the heavy lift championship was the hip lift.  We all went big.  Chad bested what he had done at the Dino challenge earlier in the year with a 1500 pound effort.  I knew I needed 2140 to break the overall hip lift record in the 125 kilo class.  I was successful with that effort, and it was enough to take the win.  A big thanks for everyone who showed up and made this meet a success.  3 clubs were represented (KCSTRONGMAAN, Clark’s and the Dino Gym).  A big shout out to meet sponsor, myHMB/Peak ATP for providing shirts for all competitors.

TONY HOSE WINS THE BENCH PRESS DECATHLON

By Bill Clark

Tony, who just turned 53, won is first major USAWA meet by blasting through the “rampage” to win the Easter Bunny Bench Press Decathlon, defeating teammate, Dave Beversdorf, for the title.

tony Hose-Benchpress Decathalon Champ!

tony Hose-Bench press Decathalon Champ!

Tony, weighing a trim 226 pounds, broke a deadlock with the 56-year-old Beversdorf by using less to weigh more and clinch the title in the “rampage.”

Tony took only 90 pounds, but did 68 reps with the weight in the one-minute rampage time-span to log 6,120 pounds in a minute – over three tons. Dave, who weighed in at 300 pounds (age 56), did 47 reps with 125 pounds for a total of 5,875 pounds in a minute.

Third place went to Lucas Hardie, from Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, who is a member of Clark’s Gym Team. Dave DeForest was 4th, Tony Lupo 5th and Nick Frieders 6th in what became strictly a gym meet.

Tony Hose’s total for the 10 lifts was exactly 8,000 pounds – four tons worth of benching.

Tony has been a gym member since June 15, 2006. Since his first few months 16 years ago, he has always added a large gift “to help cover the heating bill” and has been a huge help in keeping the gym open as the heat bills have soared.

It was good seeing him win in tough competition.
