USAWA

By Eric Todd

The Dino Gym hosted the Grip Championship again this past February.  While Laverne Myers would certainly be a worthy recipient, winning his sixth title here, February’s Lifter of the Month goes to Keving Fulton.  Kevin put up the biggest total at the Grip Championship by way of a 127 pound strict pinch grip (doing a 137# record lift outside the competition) and a 205 pound Vertical Bar Deadlift 1 bar 1″ one hand.  Kevin was a fixture in the USAWA 20 years ago, but has not been in action since.  Kevin was the second American (after our own Frank Ciavattone) to lift the Dinnie Stones unassisted. He was the leader of the old Braveheart Weightlifting club from 2000-2003.  It was great to see Keving return to action, and I hope he continues being active in the USAWA.  Great work, Kevin!
