This is a proud moment for our team as a handful of our lifters stepped onto one of the biggest stages in strength sports, Arnold Sports Festival! We are grateful to help provide a supportive strength community here in Rochester. Every rep was a testament to the work put in day after day. Huge congrats to everyone who competed and everyone who made the trip to coach, handle and support your athletes. You represent yourself, your coach and your community. Thanks for taking the time to develop strength, skill, and heart.
