FIRST PRACTICE OF THE SEASON IS IN THE BOOKS 💪🏼🔥

The energy & atmosphere was unmatched as our upperclassmen start a week of heavy singles for their main lifts, and our freshman prepare for their first Davenport competition next weekend!

What an amazing start to the season 🤩

🔥 SUMMER STANDOUT: JACOB PICKLE 🔥

The work Jacob has put in this summer has been impossible to ignore. 📈💪🏼

Jacob was selected as our Men’s Team Summer Standout Athlete after an incredible offseason of training and some SERIOUS strength gains.

🏋🏼‍♂️ SQUAT: A powerful 600LB single @ RPE 6 — and his current backdown sets are now a weight he failed during his first week at Davenport last season.

💥 BENCH: Failed 360LB last season ➡️ now consistently benching 405LB.

That kind of progress doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from showing up, putting in the work, and refusing to settle for where you were.

Jacob has been putting in that work all summer long, and the results are speaking for themselves. 🔥

Now it’s time to see what all that work looks like on the platform.

Jacob is just getting started. 👏🏼

🔥 SUMMER STANDOUT: SARAH ADAMS 🔥

Hard work all summer long. 📈 And the numbers speak for themselves.

Sarah was selected as our Women’s Team Summer Standout Athlete after an incredible summer of training and progression. 💪🏼

🏋️‍♀️ SQUAT: 370LB x 3 ➡️ 405LB x 3
💥 BENCH: 220LB x2 ➡️ 250LB x 2
🚨 DEADLIFT: 3-rep max with 295LB last season ➡️ 8-rep PR with 295LB this summer!

That’s more than just getting stronger—it’s showing up, putting in the work, and continuing to push your limits when no one is watching.

This goes to show what a summer of what consistent training + a commitment to getting better can do. 🔥

We can’t wait to see what she brings to the platform this season.

Keep working, Sarah. We’re just getting started. 👏🏼

Each of these women has left a lasting impact on our team through their hard work, leadership, resilience, and dedication both on and off the platform. Both in and out of the gym, they have helped shape the culture of this program and set the standard for those who follow behind them.

We are beyond proud of everything they have accomplished during their time in their undergraduate programs at DU and we are excited for what comes next for each of them. Thank you for representing this team with pride and passion.

Once a Panther, always a Panther. Congratulations graduates 🎓💪🏼
