USAWA Club Championship

Three of us took on the USAWA Club Championship Lifts. We were without Jarrod who came to officiate.

The lift selection was tough.

Snatch, Dumbbell, One Hand
Zercher
Turkish Get Up
Deadlift, Ciavattone

I was pleased with the results.

Kim - 27.5-85-175-44 - Total = 331.5 pounds = 630.5 points

Josh - 72-225-72-330 - Total = 699 pounds = 650.5 points

Sanjiv - 72-245-50-325 - 692 pounds = 700.7 points

We will have to see where we stack up against Clark's Gym and other clubs.

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).
