1999 USAPL Men's Nationals Pictures
These are primarily the champions and class winners. We were fortunate enough to have Kim Crain of Crain's Muscle World taking the pictures for us while we did everything else. To her we owe a lot. Because we're not just using the pics for the web, but for T-shirts. Each lifter was surprised with there own custom shirt with a cool logo and a picture of them nailing a big lift. So, Thank you Kim!
Thanks to CRAIN MUSCLE WORLD for supplying these pictures!
