MEET ANNOUNCEMENT
2016 USAWA HEAVY LIFT CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Heavy Lift Championships is the longest running championship event in the USAWA behind the National Championships. The USAWA has been trying to rotate this championship between different areas of the country every year to give all lifters the opportunity to compete in it. Last year it was hosted in the midwest by Eric Todd. This year it will be held in Pennsylvania – at Denny Habecker’s Gym. Denny has promoted the Heavy Lift Championships before, and has more than enough 100 pound plates to make it happen!
Three heavy lifts have been the mainstay of this event – the Neck Lift, the Hand and Thigh Lift, and the Hip Lift. Harness’s and belts for the lifting will be available, but most lifter’s bring their own heavy lift equipment.
It’s important that you get your entry in by the deadline. The deadline date is April 9th, 2016.
