Just gonna leave this one here. I’ve been doing this helping kids get strong thing since 2013. Taking so many young athletes from never lifting a weight in their life to handling heavy weights with strength and confidence over and over again. Still there are critics who question what I do. This page is full of posts just like this. Those posts answer all those questions for me. Saves me a lot of time and aggravation.

Coming off her very first meet at just 13 years old, Mckenah took the squat and total in the 132 weight class on the women’s record board. So much potential here! She went 148/88/220 on the day. The pull was crazy because her heaviest straight weight pulls in the gym were with 185 for technique work. When she first started training here a few months back her best pull was 165. We ditched traditional ME effort work and applied a deficit rep work wave and her pull blew up. The first time lifters teach me more about coaching than they’ll ever know.

Saturday 9/19/26 we brought 9 lifters to Mass Iron Barbell Club for the apo.massachusetts Hell or High Water meet. Fitz and Rhian both took home best geared lifter awards. Jameson and Caroline got best teen totals. Lots of highlights I’m sure they’ll talk about themselves but a few big ones were Joe’s first 2k total, Fitz’s first 700lb pull and getting 12lbs away from his first 2100 (coming soon), Rhian’s first 1100lb total and 400lbs pull and just 10 points off the WPO 450 qualifying gloss, Jameson’s first 400lb squat, and three first time lifters in Mckenah, Teagan and Caroline having really good first meets.

505x3 paused reps with the SSB which is a 30LBS PR. I’ll test the knees out next week with a wrapped raw free squat and hopefully be able to pick a meet from there. Tolerating the narrow stance squatting really well and recovering better each week.

Riley first workout back since ACL reconstruction on July 1st working up to 115x2 off foam.

This group has been such a breath of fresh air. It takes me back to when this place first opened. That enthusiasm, the sense of accomplishment, the competitive nature they bring. Every workout ends in a pull up contest. Every push-up is done to one up the other. It’s like 2018 all over again.
