The Frank Allen Memorial – A new IAWA(UK) Perpetual Trophy

A new perpetual award dedicated to the memory of Frank Allen has been kindly gifted to IAWA(UK) by Steve Andrews, long time training partner and friend of Frank’s for many years.

Influential in Steve Andrews starting his All-Round Weightlifting Career, Frank Allen loved the One Hand Deadlift and it seems apt to recognise his favourite lift in this way.

The Cup will be awarded annually to the Best One Hand Deadlift performed at the Single Arm Championship.

Based on amended points of Age, Sex and Bodyweight.

The award is to be presented for the first time at the Single Arm Champs in Derby on 9th August 2025.
