2023 1st Quarter Postal
We have had great participation in this year’s 1st Postal, with 26 men and 8 women taking part. Dan Wagman is at the top of the men’s list and Beth Skwarecki topped the women this quarter. There was some great lifting done again this quarter with many records set or broken. Thank you to all that participated.
Dan Wagman shared with us that he got all fired up watching RJ pull a huge 131-pound deadlift-no thumbs-one arm and then gave 246 pounds a successful ride for a new all-time record in the 80 kg weight class. Pictured Dan’s second attempt with 236 pounds.

Lifter of the Month-February
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!
