MEET ANNOUNCEMENT –

2019 IAWA OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD POSTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

After the success of last year’s inaugural OTSM World Postal, John Mahon and I have decided to continue with the promotion again this year.   This years competition dates are July 20th-21st.

Now for a little “background” on this postal competition. It is much different than the other postal meets we have.

  • It will be held over a weekend only and all lifts must happen at this time
  • It will always be held at only one venue per participating country
  • Each country will have a promoter for the event, and provide the venue

The reason for these added stipulations is to give more credibility to the event.  Since all lifts will be done at a set venue at the same time, with the same set of officially recognized officials there is no question to the validity of this World Championship.  Also, I like the idea of everyone world wide doing the lifts at the same time, almost like a meet we are all at together.  There are different lifts chosen this year to give a new challenge to everybody.

Once completed, please send your completed forms to me this year instead of John.  I would like everyone to please use the prepared form for the official scoresheet to minimize submission errors.

USAWA MEET DETAILS

I have the set the date and time for the USAWA portion of the IAWA OTSM World Postal Championships.  I am hoping for a turnout as good as last year.  I plan to run it very efficiently, so hopefully if we start by 1 we will be finished by 5.  Also, please let me know in advance if you plan to attend so I can make proper arrangements.

OTSM World Postal Update

By Al Myers

It won’t be long before the OTSM World Postal Championships is here!  Today I want to give an update and more information regarding the USAWA portion of it.  I have to thank Dean Ross as he just reminded me that I haven’t announced a start time for it yet.

The details are as follows:

LOCATION:  Dino Gym, 1126 Eden Road, Abilene, KS 67410

DATE: Saturday, July 14th

TIME: Weighins at 12 noon, Meet will start at 1:00 PM and should be done by 5:00 PM

I was going to have the meet up on the hill at the Dino Gym Training Field under the shelterhouse using the new outside gym setup.  However, with this heat we’ve been having here (over 100F every day!) I have decided to move it to the gym.  I will have the thermostat set at 65F so don’t worry about overheating while you are here.

One more reminder – the next day will be the USAWA Club Championships at the Ledaig Gym in Rainbow Bend hosted by Dave Glasgow.  Several have already committed to doing both competitions on the weekend.  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

OTSM World Postal

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2018 IAWA OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD POSTAL

Al Myers and myself are pleased to announce the IAWA Old Time Strongman (Otsm) World Postal. This will be held on the weekend of the 14-15th of July.

This is something Al and myself have been working on for a number of months and we have ensured that this will not have any impact on the other IAWA international events.

A bit of a background of how this has come about:

The Otsm is the brain child of Al Myers. It is designed to bring All-round weightlifting and strongman together. All the lifts Al has introduced to this format are all named after legendary old time strongman and the each lift is unique to these legends. The otsm has been apart of the USAWA for some years now and I introduced it to the Australian all-round weightlifting scene, soon after Al launched it, where it has taken off.

The Otsm has been become one of the most popular meets in both USAWA and Australian lifting calendars. I had received many requests from the Australian lifters to get the otsm on the international calendar so I decided to contact Al Myers early last year and we got the ball rolling.

How it will work:

This is not going to be like any other postal.
This Postal will be held annually on the 2nd weekend of July. (there is an exception to this but this will be explained in detail in the postal rules)
This postal will be held in only 1 venue in each participation country.
Each participation country must complete this postal on the allocated weekend.

Currently the USA and Australia already have venues and promoters locked in. We are keen to have other countries participate in this postal so if anyone wants to participate they just need to contact either Al or myself.

IAWA Old time strongman World Postal. Registration and information attached. There are currently 3 nations confirmed- Australia, England and the United States of America. We welcome participation from other countries but please not this postal can only be held at 1 set venue per country.
