Joe the Turk reminder
by Al Myers
Paul Anderson training a partial squat that is very close to the USAWA lift that bears his name in the USAWA - the Anderson Squat. Notice the homemade wooden rack that supports the weight just below lockout.
This will be the last reminder for the “Joe the Turk” OTSM competition tomorrow, hosted by Tim Piper and the Salvation Army Gym in Macomb, Illinois. It is looking to be a good turnout on hand. I’m leaving with Chad shortly, and I talked to Denny yesterday and him and Art are making the trek from PA. Thom will be there as well, and I’m sure several of the local gym members will be competing. There’s a great selection of Old Time Strongman lifts in this meet – Anderson Squat, Dumbbell to Shoulder, Peoples Deadlift, and the Apollon’s Lift. That’s a meet for everyone!
