Best Lifter - ROBERT VON SCHWEDLER *Son Light Power Indiana state record

The Son Light Power Independence Day Open Bench Press/Deadlift Championship was held July 2, 2011 at Meat Heds Gym in Indianapolis, Indiana. Thanks to owner Josh Brunner for hosting this event and his promotion thereof.

In the raw bench press event we had two new lady lifters, both of which set new state record for their respective novice classes. At 123 it was Tonya Turner with 145 while Amy Hanson finished with 155 @ 148. Brad Davis showed plenty of potential at junior/275, taking the win there with 405. Another newcomer, Juan Dodson, won at 40-44/242 with his opener of 405. Our best lifter was Aaron Harper who finished with a new personal best and state record of 475 and the win at police & fire/242.

We had two curlers, both of which set new state records. At 55-59/242 it was Clifton Coleman with 180 while Dauss Miller matched that lift for the win at open/220.

In the deadlift competition Sean Doyle broke the state record for the novice/198 class with a solid 555 pull. Brad Davis hit a strong 585 @ junior/275, failing with 605 only due to a slight hitch at the top of the lift. Another newcomer, Ron Girt, did well at 40-44/181, taking the win there with his personal best 325. Taking best lifter honors was 58 year old Robert von Schwedler, who won at 55-59/275 with his opener of 660. A 710 state record would have gone if Robert hadn't lost his grip. In the open division R. J. Dowdell guest-lifted at open/181, finishing with 445. Josn Brunner, who had been training to break the open/275 state record, failed at the top three times with 710.

But the big moment in the competition was coming up next, when Robert von Schwedler and Josh Brunner would attempt a new all-time SLP record in the 2-man event. Though they had originally looked for a 1400 pull, with Robert's injured hand they decided just to break the record with 1250. The first attempt was turned down when Robert failed to lockout completely, but a second attempt was completed to perfection!

Thanks to my son Joey Latch and Juan Dodson for doing a great job loading and spotting and the my side judges Robert von Schwedler and Josh Brunner and others who helped out. See you again this fall!

Best Lifter - ERNEST MOSLEY *ANPPC World Cup Record

The All Natural Physique & Power Conference held its annual World Cup event at Son Light Power Gym in Tuscola, Illinois on July 9, 2011. The ANPPC, created by its founder in 1984, Angelo Petito, started out as the only purely drug-free organization which tested every lifter in its competitions. Though, due to economic restraints, testing has been less stringent, the ANPPC is still the eminent drug-free organization in existence.

In the full power event we saw the return of Mary Grimm from last year's competition. Mary finished the day breaking all of her previous World Cup records except the bench, which she tied. Mary finished with a pr 100 squat, her 55 bench, 185 deadlift and a 340 total for the win at 55-59/132. Jeff Breisch hit the biggest total ever for the junior division, taking the win over Steve Willoughby @ 275. Jeff posted all new World Cup records which included a 900 squat, a 475 bench and a 650 deadlift for a 2025 total! Steve finished with a 385 squat, 225 bench and a 395 pull for a 1005 total. John Dougherty moved up to the 220 class at 50-54

where he set new records in the squat (500), bench (300) and total (1300). John also pulled a strong 500 deadlift. At 60-64 Oklahoma's Gary Flood won at 242 with his 365 squat, 225 bench and 380 deadlift to finish with 970. All of Gary's lifts except the bench were new World Cup records for his class. Tom Grimm improved on all of his lifts over last year to establish new World Cup records at 60-64/275. Tom finished with a 400 squat and 300 bench and a 355 deadlift for a great 1055 total! In the open division Luke Owens, a gym owner out of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, won at 220 open with a 1385 total. Luke finished with a 475 squat, a 435 bench and a 475 deadlift. At 242 it was Angelo Giannosa for the win over Jarrod Willoughby 1695 to 1305. Angelo finished with a personal best 700 squat, broke the World Cup record in the bench with 435 and pulled 560 for his total. Jarrod went 450-350-505 to complete his total. At open 275 was Jeff Breisch who set all new World Cup records with his 900-475-650-2025 total. The best lifter award went to Jeff as well.

As for the individual lifts, Brian Edgcomb set the mark at submaster/181 with 265 in the squat. Brian also scored a World Cup record in the curl event with 130. Ernest Mosley set the record for the 40-44/220 class in the curl with 185.

In the assisted bench press competition all three lifters set new World Cup records for their respective classes. At 50-55/242 it was Kevin Piper with 330 while Cozy Cozine finished with 525 at 275, This also tied the existing open record at 275. For the raw lifters Sherraun Hodges set the record at open/220 with 185 while Drew Collom did the same at 13-15/220 with 255. Kameron Fitzgerald broke the record for the junior/165 class with 270, after his 300 final attempt was turned down. Ernest Mosley finished with 335 @ 40-44/220 while Kevin Piper hit 330 at 50-54/242. For the 60-64 age group, Brian McCormick finished with 300 while newcomer Bruce Stevenson ended with 325 @ shw. Both set new World Cup records with their lifts.

Chuck Barth established a new World Cup record for his class, police & fire/40-44/220 with 370. For the open lifters Talib Mustata broke the record at 198 with 350 while Gilbert Scott won over Dave Ewen 405 to 280 @ 220. Gilbert's lift established a new record there. Our final raw lifter was Tony Nixon, who was also our best lifter of the day. Tony finished with 505, missing just his final attempt with 525.

Best Lifter - DALE SLEDGE *Son Light Power Ohio state record

This was the twelfth annual Son Light Power Vince Soto Memorial Ohio State Fair Bench Press/Deadlift Championship, held at the Buckeye Sports Arena on the fairgrounds July 30, 2011. Present once again was Vince's family, Dr. Hector and Mrs. Soto along with his two sisters, their husbands and children. And though it is always a bittersweet time for the family, its great to get together to once again share in Vince's spirit. Vince, who was an avid powerlifter and trainer, passed away in 2000.

In the raw bench press event Micah Stout broke the Ohio state record for the novice/165 class with 315. Ross Fordyce won at 198 with 265.
