Lifter of the Month-October 2021
By Eric Todd
The lifter of the month for October is World Champion Randy Smith! Though the pool of competitors was a little leaner than in previous world championships due to travel restrictions and covid concerns, you can only compete against those who show up. Randy did just that, and defeated the field of worthy opponents. Randy is also rather fresh off of a second place finish at nationals. This was Randy’s 4th runner up finish in nationals since 2009, coupled with his National Champion status in 2015 in York PA. The lifter of the month accolade is for his performance at 2021 Worlds. Way to go Randy! Well Deserved!
