🏋️‍♂️ WHAT IS A HATFIELD SQUAT?! 👀

You’ve probably seen someone at 949 doing squats while holding onto the rack and wondered… what are they doing?!

That’s a Hatfield Squat. 💪

The Hatfield Squat is a squat variation where you use the safety squat bar while holding onto the rack with your hands for extra balance and stability.

🔥 Why do them?
• Allows you to handle more weight
• Takes some of the balance demands out of the squat
• Lets you focus more on your legs and hips
• Great for building strength and adding volume
• Can be especially useful for lifters working around fatigue or limitations

The goal isn't to make the squat “easier.” It’s about using the rack for stability so you can put more focus into producing force with your lower body.

So next time you see someone hanging onto the rack while squatting… now you know. 😎

Hatfield Squats = another tool in the toolbox.

🚨 RESPECT THE CONES. 🚨 😂

David M Bassett

Starting at 3:45 PM each day, Trainer Dave Bassett will be placing cones on equipment he will be using for his classes.

DO NOT MOVE THE CONES.
DO NOT TOUCH THE CONES.
DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE CONES. 👀😂

Okay, maybe you can look at them… but seriously, PLEASE LEAVE THEM ALONE.

The cones are there to help Dave keep his students, equipment, and classes organized and SAFE in the craziness of the gym. 🏋️‍♂️

We know 949 gets busy, especially during peak hours, and we appreciate everyone being respectful of the space Dave has reserved for his classes.

If you have a question about equipment or an area marked by a cone, ASK DAVE before moving anything.

Let’s work together, respect each other, and keep the gym running smoothly. 💪

RESPECT THE CONES. 😂

🏋️‍♂️ WHAT THE HECK IS A BENCH SHIRT?!👕💪

A bench shirt is a specialized piece of supportive powerlifting equipment designed to help lifters handle heavier weights on the bench press.

Unlike a regular T-shirt, a bench shirt is made from extremely strong, stiff materials that provide support and resistance as the lifter lowers the bar. As the lifter presses the weight, the shirt helps provide additional force to get the bar moving.

💥 So what does it do?
• Provides support through the chest, shoulders and arms
• Helps control heavier weights
• Stores energy during the descent
• Assists the lifter off the chest
• Allows equipped lifters to move significantly more weight

But don't be fooled — a bench shirt doesn't bench the weight for you! 😂

It takes a TON of practice to learn how to use one properly. Getting into the shirt, finding the right technique, controlling the descent, touching the bar and finishing the press are all skills that take time to master.

So the next time you see someone at 949 struggling to get into what looks like a medieval torture device… 😂

They're probably getting ready to bench some BIG weight. 💪🔥

💪 MEET LYDIA KWERAM! 💪

Lydia is a student at SIUE, where she is majoring in Environmental Management 🌎🌱

She’s sweet, genuine, and always brings a great energy to the gym. Whether she’s lifting heavy or just hanging out with the crew, Lydia is one of those people who makes 949 a better place to be! 🖤💪

🌎 Major: Environmental Management
🎓 School: SIUE
🏋️ Loves: Lifting, the outdoors, concerts & friends

🏋️ WELCOME BACK, MCKENDREE POWERLIFTING STUDENTS! 🏋️

If you’ve been in the gym lately, you’ve probably noticed a few more people than usual 👀😂

That’s because the McKendree University Powerlifting Team is back! We’re excited to have them training at 949 again and bringing even more energy, strength, and probably a little more chaos to the gym. 💪

So if you see some new faces around 949, give them a warm welcome! 👋

To our 949 members — thanks for helping make this a gym where everyone feels welcome.

To our McKendree lifters — welcome back! Let’s get to work. 🔥

😂 YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A 949 MEMBER TO GET ROASTED.

Here at 949, our inside jokes have a way of making it to the internet. And apparently, you don’t even have to be a member to get involved. 😂

Gary, co-owner of local Belleville powerlifting gym The Bar LLC, understands the rule of gym ownership: from one gym owner to another, making fun of your members (aka some of our best friends) is 100% fair game.

No hard feelings. Just good lifts, questionable decisions, and a whole lot of s**t talking. 😂🏋️

Welcome to the 949 family, Gary. You’re officially part of the problem.
