For those who find that age 30 produces a premature middle-aged spread, Dan Anzel may have the answer. Dan began competitive weight lifting after he left the college, competing six years in California and the past two years in, St. Louis, where he's administrative assistant at The Jewish Hospital of St. Louis. In February he walked away with first place honors in the light heavyweight class of the Ozark AAU Weight Lifting Championships, held in St. Louis. This brought to 17 the total number of contests in which he's either won or placed; next month he plans to enter the Junior National Championships.
