Powerlifting Team

THE OLYMPUS POWERLIFTING TEAM IS ALL ABOUT COMPETING AGAINST YOURSELF WITH THE SUPPORT OF YOUR TEAMMATES. IT IS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LIFT, BUT ABOUT THE EFFORT AND CONSISTENCY YOU ARE WILLING TO INVEST IN YOURSELF AND YOUR TEAM. WE TRAVEL ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO COMPETE AND WE BELIEVE POWERLIFTING IS A GREAT VEHICLE FOR SELF IMPROVEMENT AND HEALTH PROMOTION. IN THIS SPORT, YOU CAN FOCUS ON CONSTANTLY BEATING YOUR OLD NUMBERS. DO THAT LONG ENOUGH, AND YOU WILL LIKELY BE COMPETATIVE AGAINST THE PEOPLE IN YOUR AGE, WEIGHT CLASS, AND COMPETITIVE DIVISION. COMPETE AGAINST LIFTERS IN YOUR CATEGORY FOR LONG ENOUGH AND YOU WILL LIKELY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO BEGIN CONSIDER TRAINING FOR A STATE, NATIONAL, OR WORLD RECORD. BEING A PART OF OUR TEAM IS A LONG TERM COMMITMENT AND NOT SOMETHING TO 'TRY OUT' FOR. IT IS ABOUT GROWING YOUR SELF FIRST, THEN BECOMING STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPETE AGAINST OTHERS. AS A TEAM MEMBER, IT IS ABOUT SUPPORTING YOUR FELLOW TEAMMATES TO DO THE SAME AND BEING THERE WHEN THEY NEED YOU.
