Heavy lift Photo gallery
By Eric Todd
How many All-round meets can say that they have had their own photographer. But this Saturday past, the Heavy lift unexpectedly had just that! Dave Hahn brought his entourage, including his son in law David DiBella who served in that capacity for us all day, then promptly sent the file for me to use. For all his efforts, I felt I would be remiss in not sharing it with the USAWA membership. Below are a selection of photos taken throughout the day:

I believe this is the best neck lift I was actually successful with
