Lifter of the Month – Joe Garcia

by Al Myers

The USAWA lifter of the month for April goes to Joe Garcia.  Joe won overall best lifter in the Zercher Strength Classic, a meet that dates back to the origins of the USAWA.  Many great all-rounders have competed in the Zercher through the years.  It is a grueling affair – with 13 difficult all-round lifts contested in a single day.

Congrats Joe!!!

OTSM Championship Announcement

On September 10, 2016, ET”S House of Iron and Stone will play host to the USAWA Oldtime Strongman Championship for the third time in its six years of existence. Once again, it will be in my tin can, which is an absolutely no-frills facility, but with plenty of iron to set some big records.  In the five previous championships, the title has been won by 4 different lifters.  Come out on September 10 and add your name to that list.  Lifts that will be contested this year are:

Thor’s hammer

Saxon Snatch

Hackenschmidt Floor Press

Dinnie Lift

As time allows after the meet, there will be opportunity for some record breaking. There will be awards for this meet.  Please get your entries in early in order that I can best prepare for this event.  I look forward to seeing you all here on September 10!
