Happy Birthday LaVerne! I am sorry to see you are now in my age group. The 70+ AGE GROUP JUST GOT A LOT TOUGHER!
I am really sorry I can’t make it. I know it is going to be a great weekend.
I am planning to be there and Art will be coming with me. James Fuller now says he is coming down from Maine to come along with Art and me.
I will take them e-mail or snail mail. Thanks to all that did them. Please be a little patient with me right now. I am having some pain issues with my neck and Judy doesn’t want me sitting at the computer right now. [She had to run an errand, so as they say,” when the cats away”].
Great job, Laverne!
Great choice. GOOD JOB DAVE!
Congratulations Eric!
Ruth,
Sorry I couldn’t make it, but I knew you would be in good hands with Al and Chad there.Looks like great meet! Sorry I wasn’t able to make it. Art and I were planning to come, but I chickened out because of the weather.
I would like to learn the training method that Dan says will increase my strength by 300 percent. I will definitely use it. I know from personal experience my poundages have gone down slowly but steadily on a lot of lifts since I was in my late forties. I know some of that was due to losing quickness and flexability as I got older. On the lifts that do not require quickness I hadn’t lost nearly as much [ until my hip started giving me problems]. I agree if you take someone over 60 that has never lifted before you may be able to increase his strength 300 percent, but not someone who has been training his whole life. Also I would like to know if this scientific method is going to prevent arthritic joints.
I am planning to come to this meet.
OOPS! I think I replied about the wrong meet. Art and I are planning to come to the Grip Championships.
Art Montini and I will be there unless the weather is too bad for us to make the drive.
I saw Gary Deal lift many years ago at a Senior Nationals and was very impressed with his lifting. If I remember correctly, he would put his right hand on the bar and then use his left hand to wrap the fingers of the right hand around the bar before gripping the bar with his left hand. I thought he lifting incredible considering the handicap he was dealing with.
I don’t know the answer to getting more people involved. I have put up posters all over town [ all local high schools, YMCA, local gyms and many businesses]advertising a meet between teams from England, Scotland and the USA and got maybe 10 people coming to watch. I have tried to get many guys at gyms where I trained to try the All-round lifts or to come to a meet with no or little success. One problem is the distance that must be traveled to compete if I don’t hold the meet myself. A lot of people don’t have the time or money to travel great distances to meets. Also a lot of people are reluctant to try anything new.
