Grip Championships
By Al Myers
MEET ANNOUNCEMENT – 2023 USAWA GRIP CHAMPIONSHIPS
The new year is now upon us and with that comes the announcement for the annual Grip Championships! The Grip Championships have always been the first Championship event in the USAWA every year.
This competition has been a popular one in the USAWA throughout the years. At times it has been one of the largest events attended for the year in the USAWA. I always try to “mix things up” with the chosen lifts, but have always kept them to official lifts of the USAWA.
