Lift Little, Dream Big!

We did it y’all! We held our very first powerlifting mini-meet and dare we say, it was pretty damn successful!

On the first weekend of June, our community gathered for an incredible powerlifting mini-meet that showcased not just physical strength, but also the strength of unity and encouragement. We did our absolute best to make this event as inclusive, welcoming and athletes of all ages, genders, and experience levels. Most of the participants were first-time lifters and we had some incredible experienced lifters to help us with spotting and loading. The atmosphere was absolutely electric with positivity, as everyone cheered each other on. We’re so happy and proud that everyone’s efforts were successful in creating a supportive environment where athletes could push their limits and achieve new personal bests.

As with most Powerlifting mini-meets, every participant received a custom T-shirt. These T-shirts were designed by our admin Max and hand sewn and silk-screen printed by Tina from @OonaClothing; they were not only a special design for a special event, but also our very first WTF T-shirt ever created. You can see most of our athletes sporting our special LLDB t-shirts in the photo above.

Of course our incredible athletes pushing themselves to new personal bests were the highlight of this incredible event. But we’d like to give a very special shoutout to the volunteers who helped keep us on track during the mini-meet and insured that we didn’t run around like headless chickens. From working the front door, refilling snack cups, to loading barbells and spotting athletes, you were all awesome!
