IPA World Powerlifting Championships
2004 - Pictures

I competed in the International Powerlifting Association World Championships, July 10-11, 2004, in Shamokin Dam, PA. I took several pictures at the contest, but unfortunately, most did not come out. But below are the few that did. Click any picture for a larger image. See IPA World Powerlifting Championships - 2004 for a contest report.

The outside of Phillips Motel where I stayed. That is my car in the middle of the picture.

The inside of my motel room. A real mess, I know!

The outside of Champs Fitness and Sports Center where the contest was held.
It was a large place that looked like a long, red warehouse and took two pictures to get it all in.
Inside is a soccer field, on which the contest took place.

I'm not sure who the squatter is.

Powerlifting and Back Pain

The first book is geared towards the beginner to intermediate powerlifter. It presents sound training, competition, dietary, and supplement advice to aid the reader in starting and progressing in the sport of powerlifting. The second book details how I overcame years of crippling low back and was able to return to the sport of powerlifting.
