Masters Barbell Project

https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Weightlifting/Events/2022/March/03/North-American-Open-Series-1 (American Open 1 (at the Arnold)) Idea for USAW: Have a session or two of the older Olympic weightlifters lift on the PanAm or whatever main USAW stage there is in the convention center. This will increase the awareness of attendees and showcase what most people will face and that's the need for strength, balance, mobility and more as we/they age. https://storage.googleapis.com/production-ipower-v1-0-4/354/1018354/vixoE8Rk/27e43b8a4e274732a3e98e624df77a56?fileName=2022%20National%20Masters%20-%20Pre%20VFE%20schedule%204-11.pdf (Masters Nationals (tentative schedule) ) https://www.youtube.com/c/LiftCastTV/videos (Masters Nationals Live feed) https://www.instagram.com/mastersbarbellproject/ (Masters Barbell Instagram) (follow, like and share with others)
