The latest Buffville record day in Kentucky featured 13 lifters in four locations. The lifts included several Weaver Stick lifts, Bavarian Deadlifts, and Jefferson deadlifts. The day also included an all-time record in the foot press: 1,505 pounds by Jeff Wenze.
(Beth Skwarecki would also like to note that, thanks to her daughter’s participation in this meet, four out of five women’s records in the James lift are now held by a mother-daughter team.)
Thanks to the combined efforts of the records team and the EB, we are up to date on records through September 29th, 2024. If you find errors, please send them to me. The next step in the process is to update the Team Lifts file. If anyone has the team lift file as it was in 2021 or later, please send it to me as soon as possible. Team lifts have been popular lately and we’ll get those updated soon. Also, I’ll update the century club at the end of each quarter going forward. Thanks!
THE LIFTS: You can choose any USAWA lift to break but, please let me know your lifts, to make sure I have the correct equipment for you to set the Record.
ENTRY FEE: NONE, just let me know you are attending, then have fun lifting & breaking records!
TO ENTER:The meet is open to any USAWA member. If you are lifting remotely (not at BUFFVILLE GYM) you must let me know in advance and file your results with the date and the name of the official (or three officials for IAWA records) in pounds via e-mail at clintpoore@hotmail.com by Tuesday following the meet. DO NOT send the results to the USAWA secretary or the USAWA record keeper. They will be processed by BUFFVILLE GYM and then sent in to the USAWA. Only lifts currently in the USAWA record book will be accepted. The sanction allows for flexibility in your personal schedule & only five Record Day lifts total with a certified USAWA official. All lifters are required to give their birthdate & age on the day of the Record Day.

The Amazon version of the rulebook is print-on-demand, meaning that USAWA did not have to front money for a print run, nor will anybody have to store copies of the book or take the time to ship orders. The purchase price is cheaper than we have been able to offer previous printed rulebooks, and as a bonus the USAWA bank account nets $2.78 per copy. The photos included here are of the proof copy; the final copy will not include the “not for resale” banner that you can see across the cover.
The Rulebook is still available in PDF format on our Rulebook page for free, and if you prefer to print your own copy, you are still welcome to do so. I am working on formatting an ebook version that can be purchased on Kindle or loaded onto the e-reader of your choice.
So tell your friends, and order a copy for yourself if you would like. I’m told that reviews on the Amazon website are helpful in keeping books available and easy to find, so consider giving it an honest review (it deserves five stars, right?) if you’re so inclined.
