The USAWA LIFTER OF THE MONTH FOR DECEMBER is Stephen Santangelo.

Stephen participated in the John Vernacchio Memorial Record Day, hosted by Denny Habecker, and turned in some excellent finger lift marks for new USAWA records.  The 162 pound middle finger lift that he did is a big lift, and really caught my attention!

Stephen has been competing in USAWA competitions for several years now and is an outstanding competitor.  He has has been to several events at the Dino Gym and I always enjoy our visits, as he has a wealth of information concerning proper training and proper nutrition for the lifter.

A big CONGRATS Stephen!
