Excited to be taking 6 individuals to Powerlifting Nationals in Baton Rouge, LA this April!
Unfortunately, with that comes quite a bit of extra cost. If you are so inclined, we are seeking donations to help get us there! Anything helps!
Thank you ππΌ

You know your program is in a good spot when athletes WANT to come train during open hours over spring break! Constant influx of kids from 8-12 every day this week! Ya love to see it! π΄πͺπΌ
This is Joden. A kid who places an extreme amount of trust and belief into what we do DAILY!!
Last summer, Joden started our freshman development program with empty bar hands free front squats.
Now⦠225 x 10 on front squat.
Relentless effort. Always.
Be like Joden.
Today I witnessed a sophomore boy working 85 lbs for a :05 eccentric set of bench. By the last rep, he had 10 athletes surrounding/cheering him on. Sometimes it ainβt about the sport, the weight on the bar, or even the exercise itself. Itβs the common pursuit of excellence π―π΄πͺπΌ

Canβt thank this man enough for all he has done for me in just 4 short years working alongside him, very disappointed I didnβt get more!
Unbelievable role model, man of faith, and genuine human being!

I like this more than the band resisted variation but need to reset each jump to maintain tension on the tether and chain when you jump.
