The USAWA Lifter of the Month for February is LaVerne Myers.   LaVerne was the overall outstanding men’s lifter at the 2019 USAWA Grip Championships which was contested in February. He bested 10 other outstanding gripsters in the meet.   That is a huge accomplishment!

Now don’t forget that this coming weekend we are going to be celebrating LaVerne’s 75th birthday at the Dino Gym in conjunction with an afternoon record day.   Everyone is invited to stay for the evenings festivities which will include a roast to LaVerne along with a fish fry.  I will provide all food and beverages.  Please remember to bring a gag gift for LaVerne along with a roast speech.  I want to make this a night that he won’t forget!!!
