Yesterday, two of our youth powerlifting athletes were invited to UT to tour the campus and to lift for Longhorn Powerlifting!
We’re so proud of the hard work and dedication they have shown to be selected for this opportunity and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for them!
Getting these kids ready to have opportunities like this is what our program is all about.

Outlaw Barbell Club is proud to present the search for our FIRST youth national team that we will be taking to USPA® Powerlifting Nationals July 2027.
From now until next March our athletes will compete in two meets trying to get qualifying totals to make it to nationals.
WE ARE TAKING JUST 5 STUDENTS. These students will not only have the qualifying totals needed, they will have to show good grades and be in good standing with all school activity, must show a respectful attitude in their home, and be able to represent us in a respectful and positive light.
Over the next year they will participate in fundraising activities to help fund their journey.
Each member will receive a team singlet, t shirt, matching warm-up/travel gear, and their registration covered by us.
Any and all fundraising opportunities will be to cover hotel/flights.
This will be a reoccurring team- and every year those who join our summer camp will be in contention for our National Team.
Who’s ready to battle?!
