BL- Best lifters, *- WNPF World record set

The 2005 WNPF World Bench Press, Deadlift, Powercurl and Ironman/maiden Championships was a huge success. We had lifters from

the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Republic of Georgia. We want to thank the lifters that traveled from so far away to attend our

annual championships. We hope that you and many more lifters from other countries will attend the 2006 championships. We accept lifters from

other countries to attend as long as they are drug free. Speaking of drug free two lifters tested positive and one lifter is appealing the test results

at this time. Lifters we are serious about testing! If you are not drug free do not attend our events. There are plenty of other federations that will

love to have you. The venue was kind of small but we made the best of it with two sessions each day and this worked out pretty good. We will

move our 2006 event to another meet site in Atlantic City that is three times the size of this place. We will also host two other International meets

in Las Vegas and Orlando in 2006. I want to personally thank the following people for all of their help at this meet. Denise Musser, Cindy Yeargin,

Jim Poinsett, Bryan Sessions, Jule Dolci, Bob DeRisi, Joe Panzarelli, Dina DiGrazia, Lynnie Whidden, Annette Schneidmill, John and Kenny Wallace, Mikey, Perry Thomas,

Joe Nicolosi, Buddy Schweder and his team of strongmen, Steve Yeargin, Tee Meyers, Laly Janus (Republic of Georgia interpreter) Roberta Ford and Steven Jerrell. If I did forget anyone please forgive me it wasn’t intentional. We also had a Hall of Fame ceremony and we honored six people on Nov.12. They are Jimmy Judge, Annette Schneidmill, Cathy Falconio, Ralph Robustelli, Jimmy McCree and Bob DeRisi. The strongman contest took place on Nov.13 and the overall winner was Georgia native Thanks to the many spectators that attended. The venue was packed both days and they were cheering the entire time. Thanks to all of the lifters that made this meet a success, we appreciate each and every one of you. The awards were outstanding! We had Atlas awards and large eagles for first place. Now on to a few of the highlights of the event. In the women’s division Koley Hockeborn set new records in the bench press and powercurl events. She posted the biggest numbers in both events and she lifted in the 132 pound class. Maria Spano set a new WR in the deadlift and won her class over Hockeborn in the open division. Dina DiGrazia set a new WR in the 165 lb. class with a 92 lb. curl. Schneidmill, Klaassen and Gerken all set new WR in their classes. In the men’s classes both Nazgaidze & Javahishvili set new WNPF WR’s in the 123 & 132 classes. Both of these men came from Georgia and they were both very impressive lifters. Javahishvili looked so small but this guy was powerful hitting 369 lbs. in the bench at 132 lbs. Meehan from Ohio won his first WNPF world title along with David Wilson from VA. Lara from NJ won both the raw open and subs in the 165 class and he also won the open powercurl division. Calros Artur from Brazil won his third WNPF world title in the Submaster and open classes. Lee Lichtle won his first world title in the masters 60+ bench and curl and he placed second in the open powercurl division. Ramsey won his first title also in the 181 open raw division. Passman took the masters 181 raw division class and Stan Freed set a new WR bench with at 331 in the over 60 division. Bill Wharry defeated Matt Turner from Canada in the 198 teenage division. Bill Ross took the subs raw and equipped Divisions (198). Al Green the strongest master raw lifter in this meet hit 435 lbs. Burt Rosenfield set new WR in the over 70 division and the brother team (Bachmayer) both did an outstanding job in the first WNPF World meet. Mr.Givishvili from Georgia set a new WR in the open raw 220 class with a 490 lb. bench. Mr.Howard from NJ, Mr. Horvath from Indiana, Mr.Lhota from Penn. and Mr.Brodski all won their first WNPF World titles. Mr.Horvath told me this was his last meet. I hope not! Tony I hope to see you in Michigan in April. Raoul Donti from Indian hit a 567 bench and took three classes in the 242 lb. class. It took Raoul three tries at this massive weight. He has a major problem with his arm where he cannot lock out and this causes his bench to be slightly off at the top. Raoul told the officials this before the event and he saved the best for last and made his last lift. The officials red lighted him but after a short discussion they reversed the call the be fair to the lifter because he did mention this problem before hand but all of the officials weren’t aware of the situation. Mr.Brown hit an all time high of 518 lbs. and placed second. Jimmy is one of the favorite lifters in the WNPF. Dale Glenney set a WNPF world record in the 242 pound masters over 50 class with a lift of 429 lbs. This record meant a lot to Dale being that his dad past away recently and he had some recent health problems. Jeff Begue from Ohio had the highest bench in the meet with a 584 lb. bench. Jeff set a new WR in the police division and won three divisions in this meet. There were quite a few lifters in this class that either started to high, locked out uneven or seesawed their lifts. We never want to see lifters bomb out of meets so we hope that these lifters will correct their mistakes and come back strong in 2006. Mamendov defeated Ramos by bodyweight. These two guys both hit a 484 bench but Mamendov weighed less. Summers, Cline and Sullivan all won their classes in the SHW. Onto the deadlift, David Wilson set new WR’s in both the masters and open raw 148 lb. divisions with a 507 lb. lift. Carlos Rijos from Puerto Rico won the best lifter award with a 584 deadlift and because the original winner failed the drug test. Dennison set a new WR with a 562 lb. lift in the masters 50+ division. Tee Meyers hit a 722 lb. deadlift and won both the open and masters classes. Tee will be 50 soon and his goal is to deadlift 700 pounds at 50 years of age. Steve Yeargin won the masters 40-49 raw division with a 573 lb. deadlift. The 220 class was interesting with Casagrande from Brazil there setting a new WR with a 716 lb. lift and Perry Thomas hitting a RAW 672 lb. deadlift. David “The Giant” Cooper hit the highest deadlift in the meet with a 733. Mike Spahr made a 529 deadlift with room to spare. Irv Brown set a new masters WR with a 402 lb. lift and Chane Cline hit 650 in the SHW division. We started the powercurl a few years ago and we had no idea what was going to happen with this new event. This event is growing every year with new lifters taken on the challenge to see who has the strongest arms in the WNPF. Ralph Lara took the 165 class and set a new WR in the process. Mark Wilhelm went unopposed in the 181 class but Mark is a many time WNPF champion and he has beat most of his opponents over the past few years, he hit a 174 lb. curl. Pat Carr took the open and masters 198 class with 163 pound curl. Ocampo from Brazil had the highest curl of the meet with a 204 lb. curl. In the Ironman division Bob Legg, Lee Zimmerman and Bill Crawford all won their classes in the Ironman division. Tom Kemble set a new WR in the bench and won his class in the 220 teenage division. Mike Diciano won his class with a 954 lb. total. Al Famiano took home the best lifter award and the highest Ironman total with a 1113 pound total. Roger Wanner defeated Irv Brown in the masters 40-49 raw class to win his first world title. (WNPF)
