🗓 February 21, 2026
📍 Concord, CA
🧪 Tested Meet

This meet is already moving! We are on the way to being half full and we are still early in the new year!

If Ultra Nat’s is on your radar this year, this is the perfect place to:
• Dial in attempts
• Shake off meet rust from the holidays
• Put up a clean, tested total
• Start the year with momentum instead of “later energy”

No chaos. No gimmicks. Just a well-run platform and lifters who are ready to work. Will you be platform ready?

The new year doesn’t wait. Neither do new totals.

🔥 GAS BREAK LIFT 3… DONE. 🔥
Thank you to our family, friends, staff, and partners who show up for us every single meet. None of this happens without your support.

Thank you to every coach and every athlete who steps onto the platform. Y’all are the reason we do this. You bring the energy, the heart, the grit, and the community that makes powerlifting what it is in the Bay.

Earlier this month we wrapped Gas Break Lift 3 at Get Bent Oakland and with that… our 2025 hosting season is officially closed out. What a year.

We’ve got some huge opportunities lined up for 2026 especially with USPA rolling into Anaheim for Ultra Nats. Big stage big moments and we’re ready.

But before the next wave hits let’s enjoy the holidays. Rest up. Recharge Reset.

We’ll see everyone platform ready at our next meet in February!
