Powerhouse: Louisiana weightlifting's glory days at UL

[Swamp]

I had a boss, Dave Kernion (1964-1968) BS Civil Engineer, who told me he was on the weightlifting team. He told me that the team would say, the "curles get the girls"

S&^% yea baw!

Where can this film be watched. I'm having no luck finding it. All i see are worthless google results that talk all about it, by Nicholas Campbell. But no film.

Anybody know how to screen this thing

I had the chance to see the screening at the Cite des Arts downtown (Dad was on the '68 team) earlier this year. It was a well put together highlighting Mr. Imahara's journey to Louisiana as well as the competitions the team participated in through those years.

There used to be a weight room on the west side of the Swamp (the actual Swamp on campus). Its been 20 years but I recall it having a window unit a/c and was not a big room, but talk about one cool view seeing the Swamp from in there! I want to say there were some references on the wall to those glory days. We had all heard about UL Lifting way back in the day.

I totally forgot about that weight room. I would frequent that weight room back in the late 90s between classes.

In my opinion, there is nothing like an old school weight room. No fancy machines. Just bars and iron.

Thats what i loved about it too. Did the exact same thing in between classes. Old school gym at the Swamp.

Thats it. Glass panes were ground to ceiling. I may recall the transit office as well. And forever what reason, I clearly remember there being a newspaper dispensing machine near that walk through (from Quad to Swamp).

The power lifting team currently lifts at Bourgeois Hall in the old Yoga room.
