| A very special
thanks to the owners and the staff of Apollon Fitness for providing an
excellent venue for the event . The
staff of |
|
|
|
| Apollon Gym
were very friendly and helpful, the spotters were excellent, and their hard
work at making this an enjoyable event |
|
|
|
| for everybody
was very much appreciated. I would
also especially like to thank Tom & Ellen Chojnowski for traveling
several hours |
|
|
|
| from
Connecticut to judge the event, Big Tony Barbaccio for all of his assistance
on the platform and center spotting, handing off, and |
|
|
|
| contributing so
much to helping the lifters out, Henri Skiba for all of his help, and many
others whose names I do not know who helped |
|
|
| out throughout
the day. It was a great event and a
lot of fun. Several records were set
at this event and they are now listed on the |
|
|
|
| APA
website. Meet photos are also posted
at http://www.apa-wpa.com/MeetPhotos/ |

|
|
| I was very
impressed with female lifters Irena Veselova who lifted RAW and set several
womens New Jersey, American, and World records |
|
|
| and Dana
Shealey who competed in the womens 220 class, came to the meet to bench 400,
and she benched 400!!! She went on to
425 |
|
|
| and although
425 didn't happen I am positive it will happen in the very near future. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We had a great
crew of lifters at the event, they were all very supportative of each other
and the sportsmanship was excellent. I
really |
|
|
| enjoyed running
this event and really enjoyed the people who took part in this competition. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| For those
traveling and in need of a really great powerlifting supportive gym, Apollon
Gym is the place. Wall to wall
hardcore equipment, |
|
|
| a monolift,
kettlebells, strongman equipment, you name it…..this is the place to be. Lots of hardcore powerlifters, strongman
competitors, |
|
|
| and
pro-bodybuilders including Dorian Yates train here. How much better of a training atmosphere
can one ask for? Visit the Apollon Gym |
|
|
| website at
http://apollongym.com/ to see all they have to offer. |

|
| The APA will
be returning to New Jersey on October 31 to run an event in conjuction with
the NPC Northeast Bodybuilding Grand
Prix which will be hosted |
| by Dorian Yates
and the Apollon Gym. This is a must
attend meet and will definitely have a HUGE amount of spectators present to
cheer the |
|
|
| lifters
on. We are very excited about this
upcoming event which should have a large turnout and an excellent venue. |
