Hardcopy Newsletter Editor Wanted- From Larry Maile (President-USAPL)
Looking for a volunteer to manager our hardcopy newsletter. This basically involves selecting content and liaison with: 1. Those with the content, 2. Brian, the gentlemen who sets up the actual newsletter files, 3. selecting/begging for photos, 4. making sure that the electonic file is uploaded to the printer and that Mr. Plante knows that the bills are due to the printer so that they can be paid, proofing the galley proofs.
You do not have to find the advertisers, but some liaison with them so that the way is paved for Mr. Plante and some help with receipt of their advertising files.
All in all, takes about 10 hours per issue.
Please respond to my USAPL email: l-maile@usapowerlifting.com

From Critical Bench; Interview With Luminary Bench Presser Damian Osgood
Interviewed By Ben Tatar of CriticalBench.com - April 2008
1) CRITICAL BENCH: Damian, your journey to a 600+ bench press has been amazing. It has been a true story of blood, guts, sweat, tears, and testicular fortitude. You can now reap the rewards of being the youngest bencher in history to bench over 600lbs weighing less than 200lbs! How young were you?
Damian Osgood: I was 23 y/o I when I hit the Lift, still in the Jr. Class. I weighed in at 178lbs, after cutting down from 188lbs. I hit the Lift at 2007 APF New England Open Bench Press Championship On Nov. 3rd 2007 Helded by Dave Follansbee.
2) CRITICAL BENCH: How did it feel benching 605lbs weighing less than 199lbs? How did you celebrate? What was your initial reaction after benching the weight and what did you do afterwards to honor the achievement?
Damian Osgood: It was amazing Benching 605lbs!! It was something I knew I was able to bench, I just had to put it all together and make it happen! After the Meet I drove 3hrs Home and went Out with a Few of My Team Osgood Crew and had a few drinks, then we came back to my place and finished off the night! My Initial reaction to the lift is hard to explain, I was just so happy and was so proud. I knew right then and there I could compete with the best of the best!
