What a weekend at the Tough Temple Open 2026! 💪🏆
Huge congratulations to all 6 of our athletes who stepped onto the platform this weekend. Every meet tells a different story, and this one was full of grit, determination, and some incredible performances.
✨ Noel Noel Diana added 7kg to her total. 🔥 Tyrone Gritty Jenni crushed a 19kg PR to his total. 💥 Avá Harrison Competed for the first time totallying crushing it! We celebrated platform PRs, personal victories, and milestones that don't always show up on the scoreboard. ❤️ A special shoutout to Elyce EMG for competing in her first meet back after having a baby—an accomplishment that's inspiring all on its own. 😄 And sometimes the biggest win is simply getting out there, lifting with your teammates, and having fun.
To our coaches. —thank you for your guidance, encouragement, and belief in our athletes every step of the way. To our loaders, referees, volunteers, supporters in the crowd, and everyone cheering from home, thank you for being part of our team's success. This sport takes a village, and we're grateful for every one of you.
And finally, thank you to Tough Temple Barbell Club for hosting another fantastic meet. We always appreciate the hard work that goes into putting on such a great event.
We're proud of every athlete who represented our team this weekend. Onward to the next one! 🏋️💙💛
