‘sweat’ to the beat
of a different drum
By ROD RICHARDSON
Reporter
The clanging sound of steel crash
ing against steel and people huffing,
puffing and sweating to the beat of
rock and roll music are common
sights to the 650 members of the
Texas A&M Powerlifting Club.
The A&M Powerlifting Club is
one of the most successful organiza
tions on campus — its record proves
it.
The club recently finished third in
the National Collegiate Powerlifting
Championships held at the U.S. Mil
itary Academy in West Point, N.Y.
The team, consisting of five men
and two women, captured two first
place trophies, one by Laurie
Greene in the 114-pound weight
class and one by Steve Lumpee in
the 220-pound class.
Lumpee added this title to the Jur
.nior World Championship trophy
he won last September.
A&M’s effort was also highlighted
by Dodd Adams’ second place finish
in the 198-pound class and Rick
Popp’s sixth place finish in the 242-
pound division.
Kim Holtz, Charlie Gonzalez and
Robert Ott rounded out the team’s
roster at the meet.
Skip Gjolberg, a senior exercise
technology major, serves as presi
dent of the A&M Powerlifting Club
and says that about 13 people from
the club compete on the team.
Gjolberg says that some lifters like
competing only in meets that test
competitors for drug usage.
“Some of our lifters would rather
compete in meets that require drug
testing, because this eases the pres
sure they feel to make a decision on
taking drugs,” Gjolberg says.
With the widespread use of ster
oids as an aid to better one’s perfor
mance, Gjolberg says some power-
lifters become frustrated when they
see smaller people come in and lift
more than they should be able to.
Gjolberg says that meets that test
for drugs are the best, since they
provide equal opportunties for each
competitor to win or lose on his own
merits — not through using drugs.
The A&M Powerlifting Team
hosted the National Collegiate Pow
erlifting Championships, April 13-
14. This meet was sanctioned by the
American Drug Free Powerlifting
Association and a polygraph drug
testing procedure was used on all en
trants.
The bulk of the club’s $20,000 a
semester income goes into updating
equipment, Gjolberg says. He says
about $7,000 goes toward paying
club members who work as desk
monitors and about $12,000 pays for
new weights, mirrors and special
floors.
“We also use about $2,000 to
throw a big party during the semes
ter,” Gjolberg says.
The powerlifting club was started
in 1980 and has shown steady
f rowth since then. Gjolberg plans to
eep his club near the top of A&M’s
intramural club list by trying to get
some well-known powerlifters and
bodybuilders to come in and talk to
club members.
Gjolberg recently attended the
Texas High School Powerlifting
Meet where he did some recruiting.
He hopes to someday be in a posi
tion to offer powerlifting schol
arships to high school students.

Greene collected another first
place in the women’s division and
Mark Garrison represented the
men’s team in the winners circle in
the 220-pound class. Holtz was sec
ond at 111-pounds and Gonzalez
finished fourth in the 165-pound di
vision.
Gjolberg has been a member of
the powerlifting club for over three
years and he says that club’s mem
bership could be increased, if more
space was available.
The club currently works out in
Room 256 of G. Rollie White Gol-
“The (weight) room is small and
overcrowding can be a problem,”
Gjolberg said. “I know we could
have 1,000 members if we had a big
ger room.”
The club is open to the first 500
people at a cost of $30 per semester.
The next 100 people pay $45 per se
mester and anyone signing up past
600 is charged |i60 per semester.
The membership fee entitles a
f ierson to use of tne weight room,
ree admission to any club function,
a reduced price on supplements,
such as protein and vitamins, and ac
cess to the club library.
Gjolberg says that the library has
books that can help educate people
on bodybuilding, steroids and other
related weight training subjects.
