First USAWA Meet - A Success!

Saturday I participated in my first USAWA meet.

I took three attempts at the Van Dam Lift and got them all - 56, 76, and 81 lbs.

I also set records for other lifts that hadn't been attempted by anyone in my age and weight categories before.  Did a middle fingers deadlift of 155 lbs., did a strict curl of 65 lbs., a dumbbell bent press of 56 lbs. each side, and a Full Gardner, which is a reverse TGU.

Great folks, couldn't have been nicer, and special mention goes to our hosts, Frankie and Colleen Ciavatonne, and to Jim Fuller for doing some of the odder lifts and demonstrating flexibility and strength at the same time.

Lots and lots of driving

Today, lots of stretching, 5 bw-only pullups
