2nd Annual AWF Championships

Aug 17, 2016

2nd Annual AWF Championships: The high-energy Weightlifting competition like no other. With a live DJ and music it's something not easily forgotten.

About The AWF:
After reaching the conclusion that he wanted American weightlifting to be raw and solely focused on the performance of the athlete, Jon North decided to start his own federation- The American Weightlifting Federation (AWF). This organization was created to inspire more competitive opportunities in the sport of Weightlifting in America. Their mission is "to help grow the sport of weightlifting, provide membership and competitions to all skill level of weightlifters, and build a community that encourages free expression on and off the platform".


You can never have enough Jon North...

Guess who we found on the start list this year? Charlie Zamora and Danny Lehr of Caffeine and Kilos. Earlier this year, Armen, Charlie, and Danny took over some of the best Weightlifting gyms around. Check it out.

Last year, Jon North, Charlie, and Pat Mendes (US heavyweight 2011 and 2012 National Champion), threw down and competed head-to-head in lifts, purposed to promote the 2015 Grand Opening of the American Weightlifting Federation.

And when that's not enough (because it won't be), re-live more AWF events.
