Harry Munro
Born: June 6, 1956
Died: December 12, 2017

h1 h2 h3 h4 h5

 

h6Harry Munro passed of brain cancer at age 61. He had been a member of the WABDL since 2001. He competed in meets in Phoenix AZ, Monterey CA, Chico CA, Rancho Cordova CA, San Jose CA, , Portland OR, Reno NV, Las Vegas NV and Anaheim CA. His best bench was 315 lbs at 220. His best deadlift was 589 at 220.
Harry’s intensity, enthusiasm, and energy were legendary. Harry and his wife Dolores made an entertaining picture of intensity on the platform.

Harry and Dolores had a storybook marriage. Harry touched a lot of lives and was a huge WABDL supporter. To say that I (Gus) and all that knew him will miss him is an understatement. We will miss tremendously.

Thank you Harry for the pleasure and honor of knowing you.

With Respect,
Gus Rethwisch

~from Lodi Exchange

5a7258ff0b94e.imageJane McCubbin began lifting weights in the 1980’s out of solidarity with her sister-in-law, who wanted to venture into the testosterone-filled weight room at the former Lodi Fitness Center.

“Back then females didn’t go in the weight room,” McCubbin said. “…She asked if I would go with her.”

McCubbin agreed to join her sister-in-law, Dorothea Johnson. After the pair found a place amid the men, other women began to join them. There, McCubbin’s weightlifting career began. Three decades later, McCubbin is a champion deadlifter who has set 15 world records.

In Regard to World Raw Records

May 12, 2018, 7:23 am

At the 2017 Worlds, raw world records couldn’t be set. However, this year and every year after, they can be set. The raw world records will be updated at the end of the 2018 regular lifting season in August of 2018.

There will be many divisions and their respective weight classes that won’t be occupied with a record. But at the World championships in 2018 you will be able to set a world record in any division and weight class if your lift is high enough or just by showing up if your division and weight class is vacant.

Then again in 2019 in August at the end of the regular meet lifting season, the highest records from the state and International meets will be the new world raw records. So, for raw world records the only two times records will be updated is at the worlds and in August at the end of the regular lifting season. Potentially, if your raw lift is high enough you will have the capability to set a raw world record at every WABDL meet you just won’t get your certificate or get credit for it until August.

All world records in single and double-ply can be set at any WABDL meet. The raw records are so new that there would be thousands set at every year for the first three or four years. Some have suggested there be a qualifying standard for every raw record. In a sense the “standard” is being set by the lifters during the year with the highest records becoming the bench mark. For a variety of reasons, I have ruled out setting an arbitrary standard, and the way I have explained it is the way it will be.

There will be a Rancho Cordova meet August 25, 2018 at the Marriott Hotel. The reason for there initially not being one was the hotel was going to renovate the ballroom at the Marriott on July 2018. I called them in April and found out they had moved the renovation date back to November.

World Record Certificates for raw will be sent out within 2 weeks. The raw World Records are the highest State and International raw records from 2017.

After the Rancho Cordova meet on August 25 th the highest state and International raw records for 2018 will become the new raw World Records. Those certificates will be sent out in September. Raw World Records can also be set at the World Championships.

Mike was born August 29, 1954 in Carmel, CA. He passed away from a rare disease on March 17, 2018 in Placerville, surrounded by family and friends.

Mike graduated from Monterey High School in 1972 and in 1978 Mike began working out at Baileys Gym in Pacific Grove with Jerry Bailey and this was the beginning of his love for body building & weight lifting. Along the way, he won the title of Mr. Modesto, competed in Mr. Northern California, and in various other body building contests. Mike also owned his own gym in Seaside, CA and trained well known people like Herman Edwards and Mark McGwire.

In keeping with Mike’s love of lifting, he began powerlifting in his locally famous garage gym and competed and judged in multiple powerlifting federations. Mike had a personal best squat of 804 lbs. at the age of 56 and still holds the WABDL deadlift California state record at 633.7 lbs. in Masters 54-60, 242 weight class.

22Mike was very involved as a competitor and judge in the early years of the WABDL California competitions and played a significant role in their success. He also mentored and inspired many lifters over the past 30 years. Mike was one of the original Super Training team members and an integral part of Team Super Trainings success. Mike leaves behind many friends in the powerlifting world.

The WABDL Rules Manual has been updated. This update reflects a new banned substance namely;  diuretics.
