Total Poundage - The most weight lifted in 3 hours and 9 Minutes In December 2012 Gary Ell made an attempt on the record in Tiverton, Devon, by means of using many different lifts with regular equipment and setting 28 New IAWA Records in the process, lifting a total of 36,522.07 kilos. Gary used the event as a fund raiser for 'Hospicecare'. At 6pm on Monday 14th January 2013, Steve and Karen Gardner organised a fund raising event attempting the same Total Poundage at Burton on Trent, Staffordshire. Ten members of the club lifted for 189 minutes, using the 'Hand and Thigh Lift' with varying weights from 50k 100k and 150kilos! The team amassed an incredible total of One Million, Nine Hundred and Eighty One Thousand and Seven Hundred Kilos (1,981,700.00)Well done especially to: Paula De La Mata 45,500.00 Graham Saxton 182,000.00 Jason Dorn 199,250.00 Simon Taylor 232,000.00 Mark Price 264,100.00 Luke Davis 268,000.00 James Gardner 300,000.00 and John Gardner 337,000.00. Hopefully the club will have raised a lot of money for Breast Cancer and Cancer Research! |
Southern All Round Championships - Sunday 27th January - Metamorfit Gym, Eastbourne A Report by Phil Crisp The 2013 Southern Counties champs took place in Metamorfit Gym in Eastbourne with Phil Crisp taking the title for the 3rd time. Whilst this was the 3rd time that the event had been run at Metamorfit gym, fast becoming a great place to do All-Round Lifting, it was actually the 5th edition of the championships in total - with the first two competitions taking place in Hailsham and New Romney respectively. This year a field of 11 took to the platform to compete, with five impressive newcomers all showing great potential and some very good lifting - alongside of course some very good lifting from the more experienced lifters! In fact the scores were, for the most part, incredibly close and meant that oftentimes the difference between placings came down to no more than a failed attempt or a few kilos on a total! Chris Maloney was the pick of the newcomers, edging past Adrian Pryor and another new lifter Brian Heyburn to snatch second place. All in all in was a great days lifting, ending with the now 'traditional' mini-banquet at the end. With so many new and keen lifters looking to take part in this area the next thing to see will be how many teams from Metamorfit will enter the postal League? SEE RESULTS PAGE FOR DETAILS! |

With 13 competitors, including 3 more new faces, the competition turned out to be incredibly close right across the board - with places only really separated by the occasional failed lift. But it was Chris Moloney, who came 2nd in the Southern Counties competition the month before, who came out on top in the end with his last lift. In 2nd this time, and by just 5 points, was David Cole in his first competition. All in all, an incredibly tight, competitive fixture that augurs well for the next competition down south - the Southern Shield in May. This next competition, again held at Metamorfit Gym, will provide some last minute preparation for a number of southern (and any other IAWA members that wish to compete!) lifters who will be entering IAWA's blue riband event in June - the British All-Round Championships |
IAWA(UK)British Powerlifting - Saturday 6th April - Tiverton, Devon A super event at Tiverton saw 17 lifters make it on to the platform, and it was really encouraging to see so many Juniors and young Seniors taking part, it is not often these days that you see the Open lifters outnumber all else but we had ten taking part and most of them were in their early 20s, a very bright prospect for the future of IAWA and All Round Lifting. It was great to see so many new faces as well: Sarah Martin is a great addition to our female ranks and young Dion and Jevan put on a great performance in the Juniors. The Open Seniors were outstanding, great performance by newcomers: kye Yabsley, Sam Horn, Dean Cridland and Neil Keddy from Wales. The Masters field was well represented by outstanding performers: Steve Andrews, Mark Rattenberry, Graham Saxton and Barry Gordge, whilst the local heroes were the Tiverton Weightlifting Club Members, representing their club well on the day. Congratulations to Jevan for taking Best Junior, Barry for taking Best Master, and Mark Haydock for taking best open and Best overall Lifter with the biggest Powerlifting total I think in IAWA(UK) Drug Free Powerlifting, in fact probably some of the biggest lifts in IAWA - Awesome! Great Job by Mark Rattenberry and his support crew at Tiverton, always a joy to visit! Keep training everyone, have fun and stay injury free! |

It was still a good competition though and also a very emotional time for myself as my Dad had only passed away the week previous. All of the lifters did well, and with a few hitting new personal best marks it eventually came down to a battle between myself and James Mckenna for first place. I just managed to hang on and win, so well done to the lifters who took part and to Bill Wright for doing scoring. Referees: Bill Wright, Andy Tomlin, David Mcfadzean and George Dick |
