Massive day for Trey House at the Endless Strength Invitational! In his second meet, Trey showed much improved nerves and that allowed him to demonstrate his potential as a lifter. He smoked 125kg for a 15kg meet PR on sn**ch and hit a smooth 155kg for a 9kg meet PR and 2kg lifetime PR on clean and jerk. He did this with a 6/6 day ending with a huge 280kg total, up 24kg from his last meet in May. Great work Trey! Better watch out for him at the Official Carolinas WSO championships in October!

Big overhead day for Zach Walker with 115kg! We have added so much to this lift, both from a weight and a technical aspect. A strategy for a few of my lifters has to been to create excessive confidence in the jerk so when they stand a heavy clean, they know the lift is there. Great work Zach!
