The USAWA Lifter of the Month for May goes to Joe Ciavattone Sr.!
Joe Sr. was the overall best lifter at the USAWA Heavy Lift Championships in May at Walpole, Massachusetts. The Heavy Lift Champs is one of the Championship events in the USAWA and is one of the most prestigious titles to win in a year. Joe Sr. put up great numbers with a 600 pound Neck Lift, a 1000 pound Hand and Thigh, and a 1500 pound Hip Lift. Joe Sr. has competed in many Heavy Lift Championships throughout the years, and has established himself as one of the best All Time Heavy Lifters in the USAWA, but this is his first time winning the best lifter overall. The Heavy Lift Champs are always loaded with great competition so this is a great honor for him.
Congrats Joe Sr. on being the lifter of the month!!
