⚡️DIABLO EVENT REPORT | Hyrox Salt Lake City ⚡

Diablo Barbell continues to prove that we are more than just a powerlifting gym — and Stacey Louie is the latest example of what happens when you invest in your strength and show up ready to compete.

Stacey traveled to Salt Lake City and stepped onto the Hyrox floor for the very first time, competing in the Men's Open Singles, 55-59 age bracket. 💪

For those unfamiliar, Hyrox is one of the most demanding fitness competitions on the planet — a grueling combination of running and functional workout stations that tests every corner of your fitness. And Stacey tackled it head on.

He crossed the finish line with a time of 2:14:51, placing 28th in his age bracket, maintaining a steady 9:22 pace throughout the entire race and posting his fastest Hyrox round at a blazing 6:58. For a debut performance, those are numbers to be incredibly proud of.
His best performing stations? Sled push and farmers carry — and if you've ever trained at Diablo Barbell, that should come as no surprise. Those are two staples of what we do here, and Stacey's race results prove that the work in the gym translates directly to the competition floor. That's not a coincidence — that's years of consistent, purposeful training paying off in real time. 📈

The sandbag lunges were the toughest station of the day, and that's okay. That's the beauty of a debut race — every challenge is a data point, every tough moment is information. Stacey now knows exactly where to sharpen his training and what to target for the next one. The fact that he finished strong and is already hungry for another race says everything about his character and competitive drive.

Stacey, we are so incredibly proud of you. You packed your bags, flew to Salt Lake City, and competed on a national stage in your very first Hyrox race. That takes guts, dedication, and the kind of quiet confidence that only comes from putting in the work day after day. Diablo Barbell is in your corner every step of the way — and we cannot wait to see what you do next. 🔱

The data is logged. The goals are set. The next race is coming. 👀

40 prowler trips. Tuesday's programming typically calls for 6 trips.

This is Ashleigh. She came back to Diablo with a mission: better cardio, real strength, and to feel like herself again while managing her life of motherhood!

So on her birthday, she decided to test what she's built in the last few months.

And she crushed it.

This is what coaching-first looks like. Not just showing up to the gym, but having someone in your corner who knows your goals, your limits, and exactly how to push you forward. Ashleigh trusted the process, showed up on days she didn't want to, and now she's celebrating what her body can do.

If you're a busy mom looking to reclaim your strength and confidence—or if you're just tired of generic fitness—this is your sign. We know how to work with your life, not against it.

Happy birthday to one of the strongest people we know. 💪

Diablo Barbell doesn't just live on the powerlifting platform — and yesterday, we proved it in a big way.

Six of our athletes laced up and stepped outside their comfort zone to compete in the Spartan Deka Atlas Race - 10 zones, 20 reps each, testing strength AND endurance in ways that will humble even the most seasoned athlete.

This was Diablo Barbell's first-ever crossover into the Spartan world, and what a debut it was. 🔱

But before we get to the results, let's talk about the moment that stopped everyone in their tracks.

Martha, her daughter Joanie, and her granddaughter Kaylie — three generations of strong women — competed on the same course, in the same race, cheering each other on every step of the way. Let that sink in. Grandmother, mother, and daughter pushing through 10 zones of pure grit together. If that doesn't give you chills, check your pulse. 💪❤️

And they didn't just show up — they showed out.

🥇 Kaylie — 1st Place, Women's Foundations Division with a finishing time of 12:49
🥈 Joanie — 2nd Place, Women's Foundations Division with a finishing time of 13:56
🏅 Martha — 7th Overall, Women's 60+ Division with a finishing time of 19:01

Three generations. Absolutely incredible.

On the men's side, Caspian and Devin went toe-to-toe in the Men's Foundations Division and made Diablo proud:

🥇 Caspian — 1st Place with a blazing time of 14:08
🥈 Devin — 2nd Place with a time of 14:51

And then there's our very own Coach Stephen, who decided that coaching wasn't enough for one weekend and threw himself into the Men's Peak Division — the most demanding division on the course. He finished with a time of 17:59, locking in 3rd place. Coach by day, competitor by nature.👏

A massive thank you to Mary and the entire M'Powered community for welcoming our athletes with open arms. The energy, the camaraderie, and the support between both gym communities made this day truly special. This is exactly what strength culture is supposed to look like.

Don't pigionhole Diablo Barbell. We are a strength community in every sense of the word - and we will show up for our members in every arena they choose to compete in! So proud of our members!

📢 DIABLO MEET REPORT📢

Diablo Barbell headed north to Healdsburg this weekend for the USPA Mega State Championships, hosted by World Gym Healdsburg — and our two Masters athletes showed up and showed out in a big way.

Tom Albert, competing in the 80+ Masters division, put together one of those performances you don't forget. Tom went a perfect 8 for 9 on his attempts — PR'd on every single lift with a 220 lb squat (state record), 187 lb bench (state record), and a 341 lb deadlift. Clean, composed, and absolutely locked in from start to finish. And if that wasn't enough, Tom walked away with the Best Lifter award in the Masters Division. 🏆 At 80+, Tom Albert is out here setting the bar for what dedication and longevity in this sport looks like. An inspiration to every single person in that room.

Dan Briner, competing in the 75-79 Masters division, brought his trademark toughness to the platform and delivered where it counted. Dan nailed a powerful 352 lb squat and closed out his day the way he always does — with a 462 lb deadlift that reminded everyone in the building why you never count Dan out. The bench was a tough one — he took his attempts and fought hard but couldn't quite nail them down. That said, a strong squat and a monster deadlift tell you everything you need to know about where Dan is headed. The bench will come. 💪

Behind every great performance is a great team. Coach Stephen and Coach Krystle guided Tom and Dan through every flight with precision and heart — from warmups to final attempts, our lifters were in great hands. And a massive shoutout to Susan and Martha for holding it down in the cheering section, making sure our guys had a place to rest and recharge between flights. That kind of support is everything on meet day.

Two Masters athletes. Two performances full of grit, heart, and Diablo Barbell DNA. Tom and Dan — we are so proud of both of you. 🔱
