Ben has been a “grip specialist” and has competed in numerous grip competitions over the past several years. He also holds several grip records in the USAWA. He has expanded his lifting to training all the all-round lifts and competed in this past year’s National Championships. Ben intends to enter more all-round meets in the future. The USAWA needs more energetic, young lifters like Ben Edwards!!!!
