ET, You and Chad should be doing the 2-Man Neck Lift together – instead of me! I’ll just stand to the side and coach the both of you. Truthfully, that is what you need in order to keep perfect synchronization – a coach that is giving the commands to get set and lift. I was trying to give the commands during the lift we did, but with the head harness smashing my neck and vocal cords, I sounded like a duck. Al

Thom, Thank you for your input on this, you made some very good points. I’ll be honest here – I’m REALLY disappointed in the number of votes cast so far for an issue this big and the the lack of opinions from lifters defending their viewpoints. Only 25% of the membership so far have even voted! That tells me that this issue doesn’t mean much to the remaining 75%. Or maybe it is just the apathy of voting now-a-days, with the attitude that an individuals opinion doesn’t count for anything so why show up to vote.

I’m really glad we are doing this poll as it gives EVERYONE an opportunity to be part of this decision. I will say this – if you don’t vote NOW I don’t want to hear you B***** later!! Al

That’s only 19 members out of the close to 100 that are registered with the USAWA. That’s not too good. I want to get over 50% participation in this vote. Now for the preliminary vote count:

For – 8
Against – 11

It’s so close at this point that EVERY VOTE counts!!! Al

ET, It was more fun than I should have been having!!! haha Plus I got a couple more blood oath stories with Chad. Al

[Al Myers]

Sorry Jesse! For some reason I was “overlooking” your post. YES – these lifts are now official and all lifts will be records that were done this past year (the OTSM Champs, and ET’s comp). Al

[Al Myers]

Art’s singlet doesn’t leave much to the imagination as it is! It’s thin outed over the last 50 years!!
