The Old Time Strongman Championship is BACK in 2021!  After a trash year in the USAWA dealing with a trash pandemic, and relying heavily on postal competitions (which we were very lucky to have), I am excited to announce the 2021 Old Time Strongman Championship.  This is often one of our better attended competitions, and I am counting on it being so again this year.  The meet will once again be held in my big tin can.

I always like the offer this disclaimer for anyone who has not lifted in my facility.  It is not a place of luxury.  It gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter.  So, come prepared, depending on what the weather brings that particular day.  No easy chairs, no davenports, no recliners. No running water, so the restroom facilities come in the shape of an outhouse out back.  Toilet Paper is in the ammo box.  That being said, there is plenty of weight to make big lifts on!

Lifts for the meet:

Cyr Press

Habecker Lift

Hackenschmidt Floor Press

Kennedy Lift

 

Date: September 11, 2021

Awards: There will be awards

 

I will post directions a little closer to meet time.  Follow those and you will be golden.  Follow GPS and you might be blowed up.  Hope to see you all out here on September 11 for good times and great lifting. Entry form below:

Team Championships

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.
