RULES – First – any USAWA/IAWA member can enter by letting me know by March 5 that they plan to do so. My phone is 573-474-4510 and my e-mail Is yeoldclark@gmail.com.
The meet is scheduled for Saturday, March 8 beginning at 10 a.m., Central Standard Time. All remote entries must have e-mail capabilities beginning at 9:30 a.m. on that date and be in touch with the e-mail connection they will receive prior to the competition.
Here’s how the meet will be done:
Jeff has chosen 10 lifts that he enjoys. Five of the 10 will be drawn out if a hat – one at a time – and the lifters will complete that lift before moving on to the next lift. Each lift will be figured individually and the winner will be the person with the lowest number of points with one point for first place and two for second, etc.
The 10 lifts already in the hat are bench dip, Anderson squat, Jackson press, lying lateral raise, one-hand pinch grip deadlift, strict curl, press from rack, Reg Parke bench press, Roman chair sit-up, and seated press from rack.
Those lifting remote will be informed by e-mail about the next lift and their final result from the lift just completed will be recorded at that time. At the end of five lifts – all drawn from the hate – the points will be totaled and the winners announced.
If you lift at Clark’s Gym, Jeff is the host for burgers and beer following the record day which will go with the competition.
If you have an official available at your remote site, you can add five records since this date is sanctioned as both a competition and a record day for all. You can file five lifts for record without being in the competition – provided you have let Clark know in advance and you are a USAWA /IAWA member.
This offer extends to the IAWA/UK and to all members in Australia and worldwide.
There is no entry fee.
And there is no reason why the entire IAWA membership should not be involved in this first-of-its-kind competition in odd-lift history.

November is typically a slow month for USAWA, but Allison Lupo has certainly shined impressively completing all of the lifts in the Goerner Deadlift Dozen Plus One. She has also quietly crept up the records list and holds 151 records (including 47 ALL age records) in 103 different lifts including presses, clean & Jerks, deadlifts, misc bar lifts, heavy lifts, strongman and special equipment lifts. How many individuals can claim a record in the back lift, neck lift, hand & thigh lift, hip lift and harness lift? She also shares 4 team lift records with Tony Lupo. I have always felt like strength is for everyone and every age and since coming on the scene during the 2023 IAWA World Postal Championship, she has impressively competed in 27 different events in Missouri, Kentucky, and Fergus, Ontario, Canada. Congratulations Allison!
Do you know a USAWA member who should be recognized as a future Lifter of the Month? Send nominations to the Secretary at bethskw@gmail.com.
Buffville Gym is a fantastic place we hosted meets in the past. Also, on Saturday, immediately following the awards we will have the OTSM RECORD DAY.
If you plan on participating in the Record Day portion, please let me know what lifts/records you want to perform. This way I can ensure we have all the proper equipment available for you to set incredible records.
Finally, plenty of seats will be available, but feel free to bring your own chair to be more comfortable.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
