MEET ANNOUNCEMENT
DINO GYM CHALLENGE PRESENTS THE –
“Dale Friesz Memorial Meet”
Dale was most proud of his 605 pound Neck Lift at age 55 in the 85 kilogram class.
The other day as I was doing my early morning training session, I got to thinking about the late Dale Friesz. Dale is a Hall of Famer in the USAWA, and a person who I knew well. There wasn’t a week when he was alive that he wouldn’t send me an email voicing his concerns over an USAWA matter. He was as dedicated as you could get to our organization, and never ever missed a National Championships.
Well, it’s hard to believe but its now over 5 years since he has died. As most of you know, I like the change the theme (and the lifts) of the Dino Gym Challenge every year to make it different. So this year we are going to do a tribute to Dale – with all of his favorite lifts. It made the lift selection pretty easy for me as Dale certainly had his favorite lifts. Now, I know these finger lifts aren’t the choice for most lifters but Dale loved them!
