Strength & Speed Newsletter

June 7, 2011 at 2:31 pm #24004
Yesterday I received my issue of Dale Harder’s Strength and Speed Newsletter. AGAIN it is filled with interesting information, from a writeup about the World Record Pullup (Steve Proto, BWT 205#, with 196# of extra wt strapped around his waist) to the best track and field marks of 2011. As has been the case, Dale again gave mention of some USAWA news. He had a nice writeup and picture of Andrew Durniat and his one arm deadlift record at the Black Swamp strength Challenge. Dale also had ANOTHER page completely for “All-Around Lifting News” (those were his words!). It had a picture and writeup on Chad and his Neck Lift record, and a picture of Joe doing his 1900# Hip Lift at York. For those who don’t get Dale’s newsletter, you have no idea what you’re missing! It’s well worth the money!! Al

Here is the website: http://home.comcast.net/~daleharder
There is an e-mail address at the top that is different from the one that I have for Dale, which is daleharder@comcast.net.
Among other things, Dale gives all-time ranking lists for individual lifts. Do you remember Record Day at Clark’s Gym on 12/11/04 when you, me, James Foster, Clark, and Steve Schmidt all tried our luck at the 1-inch vertical bar deadlift? You won with 280 while Clark, Foster, and I all did 255. Schmidt did less (I don’t recall how much), but I remember him saying “So I finished last”. That sticks out in my mind because it is a bit humorous for Steve to finish last in ANY strength feat! 🙂
Shortly thereafter, Dale came out with the next issue of his newsletter and he had a list of the top 50 all-time performances in that lift and you, me, Foster, and Clark all made the list. I don’t recall where you were ranked but I was something like 42nd.

Thanks Tom for that information. The issue of Dales Newsletter you are referring to is number 15, January 2005. You are correct – you were listed at number 42, one behind Bill at 41, even though you both lifted the same weight of 255 pounds! Hmmm…. Could a little favoritism be the cause???? haha

Could a little favoritism be the cause???? hahaI assume that Bill was listed ahead of me because he was both older and lighter than me, or maybe just the latter. I’m glad to know that my memory is still working because my mind has been a bit shaky a few times in recent weeks, such as forgetting to put some ice cream in the refrigerator when I returned home from shopping a few weeks ago and arriving at my local post office and realizing I had not put a stamp on a letter I was going to mail. But I remembered my ranking on Dale’s list even though it has been some time since I looked at that newsletter. I suppose all of this means something, although I’m not sure what! 🙂
