Pumping Iron at Prairie noidos There were approximately 16 guys involved in weightlifting this year. Most of the weightlifters were football players, so it was mainly a motivation for them. However, non-football players were also involved. There were two achievement levels in weightlifting. The 800 pound club and the 1,000 pound club. In order to achieve one of these levels, a weightlifter had to be able to lift a certain amount in each of the four different kinds of weights— amounts totaling 800 or 1,000 pounds. The four different types of weights were the bench press, the military press, the squat, and the power claim. 1st row: Don Clark, Doug Ockenfels, Tony Hartin, Brian Howell, Randy Zbanek, Mark Thompson, Leo Haman. 2nd row: Tony Parsons, Charles Reid, Ed Lamparek, Jeff Hare, Scott Ollinger, Charles Summers, and John Vogt.
