Back in mid May the crew went down to San Antonio Texas for the .united 2026 Nationals Competition. Each of our lifters went down and either set PR’s, competed in the biggest meet of their lifting career thus far, set PR’s on lifts or totals or hit a dot number they’ve never hit before. Seeing all of the coaches and lifters come together to make this happen and come out successful was amazing to witness.

crushed it after a last min injury before the meet Brian still went down and switched to bench only. Benched 369lbs and set a new Illinois bench record. Heart of a lion. Coach: .jones

had a meet goal of
getting her 400 DOTS milestone, hit 401 and set a meet total PR! Coach: .jones

did his first meet in the summer of 2025 at 57 years old after a more than challenging health history and qualified for nationals. He also got injured two weeks before the meet with some sciatica and stuck with the meet anyways. He went in and came just shy of his best total when he was healthy and had one of the best experiences of his life with his team by his side. Coach: .scott

also
qualified for PLU Nationals with only being a competitive powerlifter for an about a year. Went in with a nagging back issues during the intensity of prep but stayed consistent throughout the process. She went 3/3 on squats totaling a 5kg Meet Prep, on bench went 2/3 and deadlifts maintained a safe weight to secure a 3/3 and earn 3rd place in her weight class. Very strategic and smart planning as well as ex*****on there on her coaches side as well as her as a lifter

we’re gonna have to fu**in work for it.”

Memorial Day Murph 🇺🇸

Proud of everyone who showed up, pushed through, and did hard things together today.

Surprise!! Squat shorts added on to this Friday’s singlet drop. It’s been a grip since we have sold squat shorts but the time is now.

These are comfortable, breathable and pocketed shorts great for training. Red in on black with updated RWBB branding.
