At last year's Team Nationals, Dino Gym members Mark Mitchell and Scott Tully performed a 450 pound Maxey Press, a lift named in the memory of longtime Dino Gym member Bob Maxey. Chad Ullom and myself attempted to spot this big lift, but as you tell by the look on Chad's face that our spot probably would have been useless if needed!! 450 pounds at arms length overhead is not something you would want to try to catch!
The date has been set for the Dino Gym’s Annual Dino Days. It is the weekend of the 27th and 28th of August. I had to move it up a few weeks this year (from the middle of September) due to other conflicting competitions in the area in September. This year Dino Days will be solely committed to the USAWA – with the USAWA Team Nationals being contested on Saturday and a USAWA Record Day on Sunday. This will be the 5th year the Team National Championships has been contested (the first in 2007). Last year we had the biggest turnout of lifters for it than ever before, and I’m hoping this year will be even better!
