We are excited to announce that our friends at the Iron Chamber Gym have become a sponsor for Grizzly's Haunted Novice Showdown 3! If you live in the Canton, OH area, you gotta get down to Iron Chamber. How many gyms around today have been around for 30 years? These folks are serious about strength whether its powerlifting, strongman, or building muscle.

People often post their above parallel squats online for clout without even knowing it is bad practice. Sometimes you gotta drop the ego, and lower the weight in order to get stronger.

With our online coaching, I asked a client to work up to a 1RM for the day and send me video of the top 3. They were about 3” above parallel by the last set but was very proud of the number. I remember that they were a bit frustrated with me when I didn’t accept it. The next 12 weeks we got after it and they hit that same weight clean on test day.

If you want strength, you gotta earn it. No one can give it to you, and you can’t buy it. You gotta put in the work and sometimes you need the help of a coach to steer you right.

We’re still pulling a whole plane next month! Get in touch with us if you’re looking to raise some money for Special Olympics Ohio and want to pull!

Last year a small group of us pulled a Boeing 747 at the Cleveland Airport to benefit the Special Olympics - Ohio. We had a great time and would love to do it again with a larger team. This year the pull is on Saturday, September 26.

Minimum fundraising goal for the entire team is $1200 and we can have as many as 20 people. It costs $25 to register for the plane pull and that includes an event shirt. If you are interested in pulling a plane with us, reach out! This year everyone on the team will be provided a free Team Grizzly Strength shirt. Our time last year was 12:59 so we gotta be better than last time.
