Way to go Chad. I figured someone that would frolick with Al hand in hand on a beach in speedos would think enough of him to do a simple writeup.

Interesting info, Tom. Thanks for sharing

All I can say is that the photo and caption were credited to Leslie Myers, and I cannot imagine her making that up

It is evident that your shame got the better of you and you removed it, but You know the pic, the one of you and Chad frolicking hand in hand on a beach in speedos.

That was awkward…I am glad it is gone. On the IM forum, Randy Stossen was asking info on USAWA. I was going to post the link to the site, but when I saw that pic I was far too embarrassed for Al and Chad (not to mention ashamed of them) to post it. I am not over the shame and embarrassment, but at least a guy can post a link to the site now

From them I take that knee sleeves aren’t really supportive, if so why wear them?
From my experience, Mike, I would say that knee sleeves are supportive in helping protect the joint, just not in allowing you to get extra weight in a lift. Kind of like why we allow wrist wraps. Prevent injury without aiding the lifter to lift more weight than he is capable.

I just read them (all). Interesting discussion on the knee sleeves. I know I am not nearly as old as some of the aged in our org, so I should not complain too loud (LOL), but I have a number of joints I have ruined or come close to over the years of lifting and wresting. Been having knee issues squatting lately, where it is tough to walk after for a couple days. Threw the sleeves back on and it took care of the knee troubles I was having (the squats felt equally as hard mind you). So lets just say I see where Scott is going with this. I also see where the old timers are coming from and having wrist wraps allowed or knee wraps in the squats is probbaly pushing it. Good topic for debate. And for what it is worth, I definitely thing that lift should have been named the “Tully Bench”.

Great work guys. Look forward to reading the writeup

Ok, what is the bar you see used for DL at many PL meets? I already have a DL specific bar, but the one I am talking about has real aggressive knurling and is more rigid than a DL bar

Hey Matt, Welcome. My replies to your quastions are below.
1) Are a weight belt and/or ankle braces allowed to be worn? One of the guys has an old ankle injury from MMA that he wants to protect.
Weight belt yes, ankle brace no.
2) Are a bar pad or towel allowed to be wrapped around the bar to rest on the shoulders, provided it doesn’t assist in maintaining the position of the bar as an “aid”?
No-the misery of the bar digging in is part of the lift
3) What are the submission requirements for a record if one of us completes the walk? Is video evidence sufficient? A few of us are deployed in Afghanistan and thus have no judge available.
As far as for it to count in the USAWA as an official lift an official would have to be present (On of your guys could take th open book test?) Otherwise, it would not count as official, but I would certainly be impressed with some video footage.These answers are just the way I understand things. Someone might come on here and correct me.
