Lifter of the Month, November 2024

by Sanjiv Gupta

November is typically a slow month for USAWA, but Allison Lupo has certainly shined impressively completing all of the lifts in the Goerner Deadlift Dozen Plus One.  She has also quietly crept up the records list and holds 151 records (including 47 ALL age records) in 103 different lifts including presses, clean & Jerks, deadlifts, misc bar lifts, heavy lifts, strongman and special equipment lifts.  How many individuals can claim a record in the back lift, neck lift, hand & thigh lift, hip lift and harness lift?  She also shares 4 team lift records with Tony Lupo.  I have always felt like strength is for everyone and every age and since coming on the scene during the 2023 IAWA World Postal Championship, she has impressively competed in 27 different events in Missouri, Kentucky, and Fergus, Ontario, Canada.  Congratulations Allison!
