WEIGH-INS:  1 PM 

RECORD BREAKING BEGINS AT  2 PM 

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 direct 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.

Jackson Weightlifting Club Record Day

Thom Van Vleck will be hosting a record day at Jackson Weightlifting Club. He writes:

I am hosting a record day at the Jackson Weightlifting Club Training Hall (my basement gym) on Oct 19. This will be after my Highland Games so I’m looking to start around 4pm and we’ll go until no one is left!

  • Please let me know if you plan to attend and what lifts you will attempt. My email is thomvanvleck1@gmail.com if you want to ask if I have the equipment you need. If not you are welcome to bring your own. I do have a lot!
  • There is no entry for this. Memberships will be taken if you aren’t up to date.
  • I will have awards. A wooden mallet (Thor’s Hammer) for all entrants that set a record in Thor’s hammer and a small anvil for other entrants that break a record. A hail and hardy handshake for those that try and fail.
  • If weather permits I’ll have a bonfire/campfire after dark so bring a lawn chair.

Rulebook – 12th Edition

The 12th edition of the Rulebook has been published. This includes all rule changes, bylaw changes, and new lifts from the 2024, 2023, and 2022 national meetings.

Notable changes include:

  • Tank tops are now allowed in competition.
  • Knee sleeves are still disallowed on most lifts, but they are now allowed on the three lifts (Anderson squat, front squat, 12″ base squat) that allow knee wraps.
  • Official scoring now uses a gender adjustment (same as IAWA scoring) so that men and women can be ranked together.
  • Secretary and Treasurer roles have been separated into two positions.
  • Aspiring officials may use up to 2 video tests to achieve their 3 required practical sessions (one in-person session is still required).
  • Level 1 officials may substitute up to 15 meets from other organizations such as USA Weightlifting or USA Powerlifting toward their 25-meet qualification for Level 2.
  • Meets may be held remotely or hybrid, at the meet director’s discretion. This does not apply to the National Championship.
  • The host of the National Meeting may choose to allow virtual attendance.
  • The minimum size of a platform is now 8×8 feet (not 8×12).
  • Blocks or plates may be used under a lifter’s feet on bench presses.
  • The membership fee, after many years at $25, has been increased to $35.

New lifts include:

  • Bavarian deadlift (2024)
  • Bench press, 2 dumbbells (2024)
  • Jefferson finger lifts (2022)
  • Saxon deadlift (2024) – note that this uses a metal saxon bar, different from the wooden one used for the Saxon snatch.
