Thanks Al, for a job well done! The USAWA would not be anywhere near what we are now without your hard work.
I was always told to put the first plate facing in and all the others facing out. That way it is easier for the officials to see that the bar is loaded correctly.
As far as awards go, My opinion is most of our lifters are masters[over 40] and have been lifting for years. During those years, I am sure they have accumulated quite a few awards. After a while, do you really need an award for every meet you lift in. Where are you going to put all those awards? If you really need more awards, come to meets that need your support anyway, like Nationals, Worlds, Gold Cups, to name a few. As for variety, I could put more lifts in the postals next year, or we could do the IAWA Postals, that they do every other month. But we do not want to do postals run by rival organizations.
If someone with more computer skills wants to take over running the postal, then he {Dan] can do the certificates and the awards for all the lifters. I do not have the computer knowledge to do that. The postal was an idea to keep people, that maybe didn’t have the time or money to travel to meets, to be able to be involved. It was rarely about awards, although Bill Clark did send out some awards in the past.
I will be there!
Looks like I will be avoiding Dan!
I could make a note of the records, but I am not computer savvy enough to put pictures on the website. It would help if people would let me know if they know their lift is a record.
Yes, thanks to everyone who participated! It lokks like it will be a while before we can get back to a normal meet schedule.
Those are good lifts Abe, but I need your forms, filled out with the officials names and signatures on them. you can e-mail them to me or send them through the mail.
No E.T., My neieces have more money than I do. You could purchase one for me though.
On top of everything else going on, someone hacked my e-mail account. If you got an e-mail from me asking for help, don’t respond to it. It is a scam. I lost any e-mails that were in my inbox and also my address book. I am in the process of rebuilding my address book. So if you sent me an e-mail in the last 2 days and I didn’t respond, that is why.
I was at the meet in York when Wilbur deadlifted 725. I used to go to all the big meets in York in the early 60’s when I was just starting to compete. I also saw him lift in the National Weightlifting Championships in York. He was one of my favorite lifters from that era. One of the big thrills of my life was getting to meet him and talk to him at the Dino Gym a few years ago. Another great one is gone!
I had given up on bodybuiling by then.
I am pretty sure that is the most women we have had in one of our postals. It definitely is since I have been running them.
Yes, I believe they could have been, John and Dick competed in Olympic and Powerlifting. My first meet at the Holy Savior Club had over 100 lifters. We didn’t finish lifting until about 1 AM. Then they had the bodybuilding contest after that.
