This weekend past saw the third almost annual Lift for Leroy contested (last year was not contested due to the covid foolishness).  A host of lifters completed their national postal lifts, and then took on our record list in our third installment of “Lift for Leroy.”  I know Leroy was suffering from a unique degree of humiliation for having to forgo last year’s meet due to Covid one niner, so it was imperative that we lift his spirits this year. I think we did.  Al even had a special gift made up to help raise Leroy’s spirits.  Couple that with Leroy demolishing 5 national records, he should be feeling pretty darn good about himself for a while.

All weights are listed in pounds.  Bodyweight class is listed in kilos.  Clint Poore’s Bench Press-Feet in the Air used the 3 official system.  Phoebe and Everett Todd’s lifts all used the 3 official system.  All other record day lifts used the 1 official system. All lifts should have set or broken a national record.

Officials were: Chris Todd, Al Myers, Lance Foster, Eric Todd
