Harold Gaines announced;
As part of the 25th Men’s Nationals we are going to select and honor the top 25 lifters in USAPL/ADFPA history. We are going to bring them onto the competition platform Saturday evening and present them (or their family) with a commemorative award.
Missouri State Chair Rick Fowler is putting together a team of powerlifting historians along with some past and present leadership of USAPL/ADFPA to select the candidates.
If you know someone that we should consider, please put their name in the heading of your reply to this posting. We probably don’t need any explanation – the top 25 of all time’s names should speak for themselves.

Rick Fowler (State Chairman, MO) announced;
In addition to the 25th Silver Anniversary ALL ADPFA/USAPL, Top 25 from the Mens Nationals....
We are also going to recollect some of the top moments from Mens Nationals History.
If you have a lifter or moment you would like to nominate for consideration, send us an e-mail with a breif description.

Go to the Original Unofficial USAPL Forum or contact either Harold Gaines, Event Director or Rick Fowler if you would like to make nominations.
