Laura is one of the newer lifters to our team, but she is quickly building toward veteran status in the gym.

At the 2026 Women’s Barbell Classic a couple weeks ago, she set PRs in both bench press and deadlift.

A week or so before the meet, I asked her if she ever thought she would be deadlifting 200lbs when she began lifting and she said NO

Well too bad, Laura, because this is 250lbs deadlift!!

Women's Barbell Classic 2026

I hold my lifters to a high standard.

I expect them to have the courage to take on challenges. I expect them to be able to self motivate. I expect them to be able to adapt to unfamiliar circumstances. I expect them to be disciplined in doing what is required to prepare for what they are taking on.

Reflecting on yesterday’s meet, I have never been more proud of this team, that is comprised of many different ages and many different levels of experience.

Throughout the day, everyone was where they needed to be, when they needed to be there. Everyone was focused and fully prepared for each of their lifts. Everyone was excuse-less on the day.

My most frequently used coaching point for the day was something along the lines of “I have nothing to say to you, you know what to do, go out there and do it.” Everyone was repeatedly prepared for each moment.

This embodiment of my training philosophy was more than enough to satisfy me as a coach, and what I consider to be our biggest win of the day. But it was not our only victory.

Congratulations to all 314 lifters and all 15 teams who competed yesterday.

The friends and family who show up to support the lifters does not go unnoticed. Thank you for helping to create and incredible atmosphere.

Thank you to Raise The Bar Initiative for standing for something great, and for putting on an awesome event. It is something our gym looks forward to every year.

Special thank you to Skyler Lamb for helping our team in warm-ups and more. You played a huge role in getting our lifters ready to take the platform and for helping me stay organized and on schedule.

My biggest and final thank you goes to my lifters for so many great coaching memories yesterday. I look forward to so many more in the future!
