MEET ANNOUNCEMENT
2021 USAWA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Good news for the USAWA is about here! After much discussion by the USAWA Executive Board, it has been decided that the USAWA is ready to get back to business.
I will be promoting the National Championship at the Dino Gym on June 19th. It will be a one day meet with the Annual Meeting and meal to follow the day’s lifting. At the meeting we will as a group discuss the future plans for the USAWA – but I’m hoping that all will be in favor of just resuming normal operations.
The meet will be ran in the two-session format as normal for a Nationals. The approved lifts for the Nationals are: Cheat Curl, 1 arm Snatch, Clean and Press with heels together, Deadlift with a Ciavattone Grip on the Fulton Bar, and the 1 arm deadlift. This is a pretty straight forward selection of lifts that are pretty common all round lifts, so training preparations should be easier. I proposed these lifts with that in mind as I know this is “short notice” in regards to the Nationals announcement.
The Nationals will be limited to the first 15 lifters that register. Space is limited in the Dino Gym and I don’t want a large crowd “packed around”. We still need to be cognizant of the COVID risk recommendations. If you are attending please don’t bring alot of people with you to watch.
