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.
Last year, we had an advisory committee that was tasked with looking into options to grow and modernize our organization. This year, the board would like to bring the committee back, with a special focus on surveying the membership and volunteers (meet directors, record keepers, etc) to determine USAWA’s biggest problems and opportunities. This information will then guide future proposals.
The Executive Board is now putting together the committee to handle this important task, and we want to make sure we open this opportunity to the membership. A small committee (around 5 people) will be selected.
Sanjiv Gupta will head up this effort. He describes it as an opportunity to discuss what is going well, what could use improvement, opportunities to get people involved, and threats to the USAWA staying relevant. The time commitment will be a few hours per month, and mainly consist of email communications and video calls. The committee will be active through approximately March of 2025 to be able to provide a report for the 2025 National Meeting.
Anyone who is interested in serving on this committee should contact Sanjiv directly at sanjiv_gupta@hotmail.com.
