Following are the results of the New England All-Round Weightlifting Association Record Breakers Day December 1st, 2012.  Jim Fuller from Augusta, Maine came during a snow storm, not only did he perform outstanding lifting records, but watching him after the meet perform some other feats of strength that amazed everybody.  Newcomer, Colleen Lane, performed very well in her first competition and truly had the crowd cheering her on to all successful lifts. Another new name to the record books.  Joseph Ciavattone Jr., again uped his deadlift records for other teenagers to lookup to.  He will soon be closing on in the 600 lb mark in the for a teenager.  A highlight of the meet was watching Jeff Ciavattone as he pulled up an easy  Fulton Ciavattone grip 382 lbs. Then had the crowd on its feet with a two-hand dumb bell dead lift which had the crowd roaring him on.  Frank Ciavattone performed a two-hand Ciavattone Deadlift and a equally as easy left handed Ciavattone Deadlift. As each day passes he is showing what he has been well known for.

The meet was held at Frank’s Gym in Walpole Ma. It started at 10:00 and ended at 1:30, followed by some strength demonstrations. New England club meeting, where new officers were nominated, followed by a luncheon and then the awards ceremony.  Would also like to send out our thanks to the senior official, Joseph Ciavattone Sr., who was very inspirational to all the lifters.  Truly a great meet with great lifters and great friends. Looking forward to 2013 team meets!

MEET RESULTS – NEW ENGLAND RECORD BREAKER DAY

The meet was very successful, and I have the results, which will be  given from youngest to oldest.  This meet celebrates my 4 month anniversary of my cancer operation.  Though my lifts weren’t great, I  hope they can inspire others to never give up and continue to do what  they love no matter what challenges they may be faced with.  The officials were Joe Sr. and Mike Obrien for myself.  For Joe Sr it was myself and Mike Obrien, and for Mike it was Joe Sr and me.  The rest of the lifters were reffed by myself, Joe Sr, and Mike Obrien.  Everyone did great. Highlights include Joeys big reverse grip bench of 305 pounds, Joe Jrs 525lb deadlift, and the highest ever done on the one hand dumbell deadlift by Jeff!   Thanks to everyone involved in the meet, and to all that read this.
