The date has been set!

Denny Habecker, the promoter of this year’s National Championships, has just released the entry form and information page for the biggest yearly event in the USAWA.  Denny is planning on promoting the Nationals in his hometown of Lebanon, PA on June 22nd.  A great selection of lifts have been chosen for this Championships.  The lifts are:

Curl – Cheat, Reverse Grip
Deadlift – No Thumbs, Overhand Grip
Clean and Jerk – One Arm
Snatch – From Hang
Pullover and Push

This will be a long day – as all lifts will be performed on the 22nd.  Afterwards there will be an awards banquet for all lifters and supporters. Make sure to make plans to attend the banquet as that is a highlight of the weekend.

This is VERY IMPORTANT – make sure to get Denny your entry form (AND ENTRY FEE) before the deadline.  The deadline is MAY 22ND. It will be enforced.

There will be drug testing done at the Nationals.  DO NOT enter if you have an issue with being tested!
