BSAG Leg 12


Leg 12 mercifully ended the 2025 BSAG Season.

Reverse Blitzkrieg - 0 pounds - I have a hard time with reverse grip movements
Snatch, 2 Dumbbells - 90 pounds
Deadlift, One Arm, Left - 205 pounds
Deadlift, Dumbbell, One Arm Left - 4 x 162 pounds
Deadlift, Dumbbell, One Arm Left - 13 x 132 pounds

I did complete all (12) Legs.

Pros
  • Exposed to new lifts and new challenges
  • Cheap at $50/year for the whole family
  • Convenient as all of the legs are postal
Cons
  • No sense of community or camaraderie
  • Results reporting are months after the event
  • I rarely looked forward or planned these, often squeezing them in near months end
It was a no brainer decision for me to sit out the 2026 season.  If I miss it, I can always come back in 2027.

3" Barbell

Against my better judgement, I picked up this Titan Round Grip String Bar with a 3" diameter for $125 (plus another $10 shipping protection and taxes).  It is only used for one USAWA lift and I will probably use it once and be done with it, but I have certainly spent considerably more money for equipment I use on a very limited basis.
