The West Coast Rolling Thunder Championships will be held at Muscle Beach (Venice, California) on July 17, and even though the contest is expected to draw some of the strongest-handed guys around, anyone who wants to join in the fun will be welcome.
Run by Kevin Meskew in conjunction with a USPF deadlift contest, weigh-ins are from 10 to 11:30 am and the lifting is scheduled to start at about 12:30, with a flight of deadlifters likely to go before the Rolling Thunder® kicks in. Open and Masters divisions will be run, with multiple body weight classes.
The first person to pull a 300-pound lift on the Rolling Thunder® will get a $300.00 gift certificate from IronMind® Enterprises, Inc., plus Kevin Meskew is adding $100.00 cash if someone hits the magic 300 pounds.
Even if not up at the mighty 300-pound level, top lifts will be rewarded: the biggest lift of the day will get a $50.00 IronMind® gift certificate plus a huge, five-foot trophy donated by Ascending Awards (Arleta, California), and Kevin Meskew is also offering $75.00 to anyone who lifts bodyweight. So come on down to the beach, have a great time and hoist a few heavy ones.
