Lifter of the Month: Al Myers
by Chad Ullom
Lifter of the month for November is Al Myers, here doing a 182.5 KG thumbless grip DL at the Gold Cup.
November lifter of the month goes to Al Myers. Al was succesful with a 145kg (319lb) Power Row at the Gold Cup. Not only was this a new world record, but also earned Al The Howard Prechtel Memorial Trophy! This trophy is presented to the highest amended total lift using Age, weight, and Blindt formulas. Al also did a thumbless DL of 182.5KG (401lb) for his second world record. The contributions Al makes the USAWA and IAWA cannot be overstated. I’m not sure where we would be as an organization without Al’s committment, time and effort he puts into it every day! Congratulations Al!
