OTSM World Postal

By John Mahon

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2018 IAWA OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD POSTAL

Al Myers and myself are pleased to announce the IAWA Old Time Strongman (Otsm) World Postal. This will be held on the weekend of the 14-15th of July.

This is something Al and myself have been working on for a number of months and we have ensured that this will not have any impact on the other IAWA international events.

A bit of a background of how this has come about:

The Otsm is the brain child of Al Myers. It is designed to bring All-round weightlifting and strongman together. All the lifts Al has introduced to this format are all named after legendary old time strongman and the each lift is unique to these legends. The otsm has been apart of the USAWA for some years now and I introduced it to the Australian all-round weightlifting scene, soon after Al launched it, where it has taken off.

The Otsm has been become one of the most popular meets in both USAWA and Australian lifting calendars. I had received many requests from the Australian lifters to get the otsm on the international calendar so I decided to contact Al Myers early last year and we got the ball rolling.

How it will work:

This is not going to be like any other postal.
This Postal will be held annually on the 2nd weekend of July. (there is an exception to this but this will be explained in detail in the postal rules)
This postal will be held in only 1 venue in each participation country.
Each participation country must complete this postal on the allocated weekend.

Currently the USA and Australia already have venues and promoters locked in. We are keen to have other countries participate in this postal so if anyone wants to participate they just need to contact either Al or myself.
