I am proud to announce that we are officially a USAW club! This means that we can all register for the Washington Open as members of our club. The first step is to register yourselves with USAW as athletes. Go here to register. Make sure to select Industrious Barbell Club as your weightlifting club (and feel free to enter me as your coach!). Once you are registered with USAW, we will need to get you registered for the meet in short order. I think the deadline is only a week away. The entry blank can be found here.

Also, check out our new Facebook page! Be sure to "like" us and tell your friends!

Another exciting announcement, the kilo change has finally arrived! No more mixing pounds and kilos on your bar and trying to figure out what the heck it adds up to. Either put pounds on your bar, or put kilos on your bar (I recommend kilos). Eventually, we will be expanding our collection of kilo weights and will use kilos exclusively, but for now we will have to do with our limited supply.

Last note, I will be out of town this weekend. Coach Mark is in charge. Don't let the bunny ears fool you: he means business and will take good care of you in my absence. I will see you all on Monday!
