Jackson Weightlifting Club Record Day

Thom Van Vleck will be hosting a record day at Jackson Weightlifting Club. He writes:

I am hosting a record day at the Jackson Weightlifting Club Training Hall (my basement gym) on Oct 19. This will be after my Highland Games so I’m looking to start around 4pm and we’ll go until no one is left!

  • Please let me know if you plan to attend and what lifts you will attempt. My email is thomvanvleck1@gmail.com if you want to ask if I have the equipment you need. If not you are welcome to bring your own. I do have a lot!
  • There is no entry for this. Memberships will be taken if you aren’t up to date.
  • I will have awards. A wooden mallet (Thor’s Hammer) for all entrants that set a record in Thor’s hammer and a small anvil for other entrants that break a record. A hail and hardy handshake for those that try and fail.
  • If weather permits I’ll have a bonfire/campfire after dark so bring a lawn chair.
