I just want to say it was a lot of fun lifting at the club challenge. I also was very impressed with Joe Ciavattone’s son’s. They both lifted well and conducted themselves very well.

I’m not sure, but I think Jim Messer lifted in the USAWA when he was in his late 80’s back in the early 1990’s.

I will always remember Howard’s friendly smile, and how he helped me and many other lifters feel better by giving them those miraculous adjustments before they lifted. It was great to see him last year at the world’s. He was truly at great lifter and a great man.

I agree with most of your list,but I think the Stiff-legged Deadlift is a good lift. The judges just have to call it like they see it. If the judges turn down lifts when they see the legs are not locked the lifters will get the message.
I think a lot of those lifts got approved in the past when they were approving almost every lift that was proposed. I think maybe we should make a rule that if a lift is not done after a certain amount of time after it is approved, it should be removed from our rulebook.
