Jobe’s Steel Jungle Records Day
Jesse Jobe competing last month in the Battle in the Barn. Jesse and his club, Jobes Steel Jungle, plan to host their first USAWA function on May 20th.
Date: Sunday, May 20th
Start Time:10am-whenever we get done.
Entry Fee: none
This will be my first USAWA meet that I will be running, so I wanted it to be something fun and a little informal. I figured a records day would be the perfect opportunity to get some people to come and have a good time.
This will be in my personal gym at my home. We will be able to accommodate almost every type of lift except the heavy lifts.
Also if people are interested I would like to have a grill out after the lifting or during. So if you could bring something to drink or grill if you have a preference.
Advance notice that you plan on attending would be appreciated.

MEET ANNOUNCEMENT
2012 ART’S BIRTHDAY BASH
Art Montini, age 84, at the 2011 IAWA World Championships in Perth, Australia. Next year at his Birthday Bash he will turn 85 and be eligible for a whole new set of masters records in the 85-89 age group.
Art Montini will again be celebrating his birthday by hosting a record breaker meet at Ambridge BBC in Pittsburgh. This competition is a long-standing event which Art has promoted for many years. The Ambridge Gym is a place of beauty, and is stocked with gym equipment that should be in a Weightlifters Museum. If you have not been there for a competition – this is your chance! There is NO entry fee (but donations are taken to pay for the meet insurance). Art does set a limit of 5 records per lifter to insure that the record day finishes in good time. Last year this event was well attended and I expect this year will be the same. Art does request that you send it your entry form so that he knows how many lifters to expect.
