Glenn Pendlay Blog, Old but Still Good

I don’t mean that Glenn is old, I mean his blog hasn’t been updated in eons (well, internet eons!).  But, regardless there is good information on there worth reading, check it out.

We’ve all been embarrassed by the look of the previous USA Weightlifting website.  But, be embarrassed no more.  USA Weightlifting has finally entered the modern age with its new website designed to actually be navigated!  Seriously, this is an improvement that could actually result in new members.
