MEET ANNOUNCEMENT
2021 USAWA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

The date for the USAWA Team Championships has been set – September 12th (Sunday).  I started promoting the Team Championships in 2007, which features “team lifting”, a combination of 2 lifters on a bar lifting the weight together. This makes for a very exciting event as the 2 lifters must be in coordination with each other to make a successful lift!
