Ohio High School Lifters

Interesting to note that the Werksan High School National Weightlifting Challenge had no Ohio high school representation. How is that for pathetic? That fucking pisses me off! Not only do teams from California, Indiana, and Georgia come to Columbus, Ohio, and put on a good performance, there were no Ohio lifters there to even put up a fight. The only teams turned away were from South Carolina. I am taking it upon myself to contact as many so-called strength coaches at Cincinnati area high schools to point out this weakness and perhaps next year at the Arnold Weekend or at the Winterfest Meet there will actually be Ohio teams battling it out for the grand prize. Sheesh.

Arnold Results, Back to usual

The Arnold Lifting Weekend was a success for all of our lifters who competed. Now, beginning Tuesday the 9th, it's back to normal at the club. Here are the numbers for each of our guys:

Frank, goes 5 for 6, and gets PRs: 57/81/138
Keith gets 68/87 (PR)/155 (PR)
John goes 6 for 6 and hits PR lifts & total: 62/83/145
Chad hits 80/102 (PR)/182 (PR)
Ben hits 80/105/185 (PR)
Jake hit 108/142/250
Dustin goes 6 for 6 and hits lifts of 48/70/118

Dean did a great job in calculating the winning team in the Werksan Barbell competition. Lifting resumes at the usual time of "after work" on Tuesday evening. Next up is the meet on May 16 and possibly a Toledo meet in April.
