Heavy Lift Championship

MEET –
2019 USAWA HEAVY LIFT CHAMPIONSHIP
The meet was a great success. We had 6 lifters from Massachusetts and New York. It was held at Frank’s Barbell Club in East Walpole, Massachusetts.
The Lestan brothers, Chris and Eric, were outstanding on the platform! It’s always good to see them in action.
Michael Rabich from Queens, New York, showed lots of enthusiasm as he performed his lifts. We always enjoy spending time with Michael when he comes to visit.
Congratulations to Joe Ciavattone Sr who was overall champion of the meet.
Thanks to Frank and Joe Sr. who officiated the meet.
A special thank you to Peter Vuono for cheering us on throughout the event.
And a special thank you Frank for welcoming us all into his home and treating us to pizza after the event.
