A big congrats goes to ERIC TODD, the USAWA Lifter of the Month for July.  Eric earned this from his outstanding performance in the 2nd Quarter USAWA Postal Meet.  Eric “bested” the field and was the Overall Best Lifter in this Postal Meet.  Along with scoring the most adjusted points, he posted the overall best total.  He continued to showcase one of his favorite lifts, the Pullover and Press, with a fantastic 365 pound effort.

This marks the FOURTH TIME that Eric has been selected as the lifter of the Month (others were May 2012, December 2013, and May 2014).

Congrats to LaVerne Myers for being selected as the USAWA Lifter of the Month for January!!!

I know I’m going back a few months for this recognition, but I intend this year to select a USAWA Lifter of the Month for each month of this year and not miss a month!

LaVerne earned this award because he made it to the Dino Gym Challenge during a blizzard.  The Dino Gym Challenge was the only USAWA competition held in January, and the only other competitor in the Challenge was myself.  I didn’t feel like I earned it because I can walk to the gym.  Pa had to drive a quarter of a mile!

Congrats LaVerne!!!
